Today's session was a creative session. Students were placed into two groups to create material that can be used for a horror film trailer suitable for Brief One. When we return after the Winter Festival we will construct film trailers and students will compose their own original soundtracks.
The aim of today's session was to make students aware of how difficult it is to sit on the 'other side' of the camera and also to develop the creative skills that will be required when constructing coursework. It was also valuable for students to be aware of lighting issues, how to record decent audio, and how to compose a decent frame.
Click on link below to access a trailer constructed using the material from this afternoon's session. This is a 58 second teaser trailer with a soundtrack that was composed after the lesson:
HOMEWORK: All students will be expected to begin constructing coursework when we return in January. The break should be used to storyboard and gather research and pre-production material. This has been a decent term but it is clear that we need to improve the quality of the written work. ALL students need to be aware that the quality of written media analysis needs to improve. This will be our major focus when we return in January.
Students also need to familiarise themselves with the texts that link to the cross-media study.
Have a great break media freaks....but beware isolated country cottages!!
