YEAR 12 LESSON NINETEEN [18th Nov 14]: Homework

This was the final formal creative session that will be provided for the Adelphi task. Students need to send me their complete films before Friday's session. Students have had more than enough lesson time to complete this task. Some of the work is fantastic. The two finished pieces that were sent to me today are impressive. Well done James and Louis. I look forward to ALL student films being uploaded to my google classroom account.
The moaning techno bores were the only negative feature linked to this first creative experience. All I can say is that a bad artist blames the tools. Below is a film of mine that was premiered last week in Hull at the post-production party for The 2014 Humber Street Sesh. I created this film using all the tools that have been available to students throughout this task. Please feel free to ask me any questions relating to the creation of this documentary.

HOMEWORK:
Think of an idea that can be used for a filming task on Friday. It needs to be 6th Form related as this is the only location we have within which to work. Trailer to promote the sixth form? Advice for Year 11? YOU DECIDE.

SCIENTIFIC SHIRTSTORM...

Last week The Rosetta space mission landed a craft on a comet!! But the shirt worn by one of the scientists caused a social media storm:

YEAR 13/12 CREATIVE WORK.

YEAR 12 LESSONS 16/17/18 [7th/11th/14th November 14]:
Students continued to create their promotional material for The Hull New Adelphi Club. Our final formal session to complete this task is Tuesday's lesson on the 18th Nov. The whole aim of this exercise has been to introduce students to the technology that will guide their creative work. The creative component of this course is incredibly important as 50% of the final grade is based upon coursework. After we have completed this task I will provide groups with a video camera and students will be expected to create their own filmic gem.
THE QUALITY OF THE WORK IS FANTASTIC. WE HAVE SOME REAL TALENT IN OUR GROUP. KEEP IT UP.

YEAR 13 LESSONS 18/19 [13th/17th Nov 14]:
Students continued to work on the Adelphi trailer. Our Thursday session will be the final formal session provided for this task. The work is impressive folks. KEEP IT UP.

YEAR 12 LESSON FIFTEEN [7th Nov 14]: Homework

Students were introduced to the new Macs and asked to continue with the Adelphi trailer. Students need to edit their trailer using the rhythm of their chosen soundtrack. The aim of this session was to introduce students to the creative software that will allow them to create their coursework. With 50% of the course being coursework, the ability to use this equipment in a creative and appropriate manner is crucial.
HOMEWORK: Visit the library and use the equipment. Feel free to edit the trailer in your own time.

How are media forms used to shape meaning?

YEAR 13 LESSON SIXTEEN/SEVENTEEN [6th/10th Nov 14]: Homework

Both these sessions were creative sessions. OUR NEW VIDEO EDITING HOME is the LIBRARY and the first task in our new creative hub is to complete the Adelphi trailer. In the second session some students were using the new version of Garageband and it was really encouraging to see students using Gband to edit their soundtrack. If students want sophisticated audio they will need to edit the soundtrack in Gband before moving the audio file to the IMovie timeline. Some good work today folks.

HOMEWORK: Students need to be visiting the library to work on the film. Students also need to be experimenting with Gband to comprehend the new interface. Our next creative task will be a Gband based task so students need to use the software.

YEAR 12 LESSON FOURTEEN/YEAR 13 LESSON FIFTEEN [3rd/4th Nov 14]: Homework

YEAR 13:
The aim of this session was to reintroduce the students to video editing. Students were asked to begin editing a trailer that could be used to promote Hull's New Adelphi Club. Official footage from the Adelphi's 30th anniversary celebrations was given to students and the task was to shape a 45 second narrative that could be posted to the Adelphi website to promote this cultural jewel. Students are expected to compose their own soundtrack.

Homework: Continue to shape the creative media. I expect students to be visiting the Voodoo Cupboard to make the magic happen

YEAR 12:

Year 12 were also asked to produce a 45 second trailer for the Adelphi website.

Homework: Students need to bring an audio file [Mp3] to the next session to be used as the soundtrack to the trailer. If students bring a selection of music on a memory stick they can experiment to discover which tune will provide the most appropriate audio.
