Most of you have your feedback from the Research & Planning work you have done so far. Have a look at the bullet points I have given you for how you could improve your grade - make sure this is done over Christmas so that you can focus your time and energies on the practical work.
Milly, Eleanor, please come and see me to get your feedback.
Have a great holiday,
Mr Kirkaldy

Shooting schedule
Your Research & Planning sections should be finished by this Thursday (10th Dec). I will mark them all and give you feedback in our last lesson before Christmas (Thursday 17th December).
When you're sure that you're ready to start filming, you should put together a shooting schedule:
|
Scene
|
Location
|
Date/Time
|
Equipment/ Props
|
Personnel
|
|
Classroom confrontation/ fight
|
C27
|
15 Dec
15:30
|
Camera
Tripod
School uniforms
Knife
|
Actors: Tom, Dick, Harry
Camera: Kelly, Sam
|
This will not only help you in terms of organising your filming (and the people involved) but will also demonstrate to the examiner that you have a good understanding of the organisational/logistical side of making a film.

Coursework timings and deadlines
With Christmas fast approaching, I thought it would be helpful to think about our timings for the New Year and the deadlines for various aspects of your A2 coursework portfolios.
By now you should all have pretty much finished your Research & Planning sections and be looking to start on your practical work. To put that into perspective, here are the deadlines we will be working to:
Feb 12th: 1st draft for ALL THREE productions (Main Task + 2 Ancillary Tasks)
This means I can mark all of your practical work over February half-term and give you feedback for how you can improve.
Mar 4th: Final draft for ALL THREE productions
This gives you two weeks from when we get back after half-term to make any improvements to your final productions, including any re-shooting or re-editing work. This leaves you with three weeks to do your Evaluation and any finishing touches to your blogs.
Mar 24th: FINAL DEADLINE
ALL work has to be done and all blogs finished by the time we break up for Easter. This means I can mark it in time for the exam board deadline (the first week back after the Easter holidays).
I will of course be giving you on-going feedback as you work on your productions and if you have anything in draft form that you want me to look at ahead of these deadlines, I am more than happy to do so - I will mark and give feedback on anything that you do.
