Audience Theory for A2

Audience theory for A2 Music Videos from Daybird1987

A2 Copyright - Letter Task

In class we have looked at copyright, what it means and how it will have an impact on the music you choose to use on your music video.

You can use music from an established artist, or someone unsigned. Regardless, you still have to seek permission to use their work and reassure them of your reasons for using their track.

Remember to use Standard English and write with a formal tone. Also, remember there are conventions to letter writing such as;

• Your address on the top right-hand side
• The full date underneath your address
• The address of the person you are sending it to on the left-hand side.
• Opening formally with 'Dear...'
• Ending, as you would to a stranger, with 'Yours faithfully...'

Remember is also important to;

• Use capital letters, full stops and paragraphs.
• Write in full sentences.
• Spell check your work.

For your blog entry you should upload a copy of this letter, along with some information about why you are writing this letter and what you have learnt about copyright. Show your knowledge and suggest why the writing of the letter is an important part of your journey to creating your own music video.

AS - Shot Types and Angles

In today's lesson we have:

• selected a scenario card to help us choose appropriate body language, facial expressions and mise-en-scene;
• practised storyboard skills by sketching each camera shot/angle;
• discovered the name, abbreviation and generalise use for that shot/angle;
• carefully using a tripod and camcorder, captured a still image which mimics our storyboard of angles and shots;
• uploaded those shots in to a word document with a grid and accurately cropped and labelled the stills;
• uploaded to slideshare.net;
• practised embedding our files into our blogs;

The final activity for your homework, which I will set on Thursday and is due in on Monday 23rd September, is to write about what you have done and how it will contribute to your project.

• What have you learnt?
• How is this valuable?
• Why is the scenario and genre of film relevant to the shots and angles?

Replicate the sheet below or otherwise, save a copy of this one and use it for your work.

Using Blogger and Slide Share Embedding - AS and A2 Students

Ocr student breakdown from Daybird1987

Dear students,

Just as I had prepared for you to embed documents using scribd.com, I come in to school and it has been blocked but fear not. I want you to open a slideshare.net account instead and follow the instructions I have placed in the PowerPoint listed below, already embedded into this document for you to open and follow.

Let me know if you need any help!
