1.What is match on action? Explain your understanding to the reader. Link with continuity.

2.Explain the activity i.e. The scenario you had to depict, the sketch you created, the choices you had to make regarding positioning of the cameras.

3.Embed the YouTube video.

4.Evaluate the success by answering the following questions (in full sentences)

1.What was the simplest part of the activity and why?

2.What was the most challenging part of the activity and why?

▪How could you overcome this challenge?

3.What have you learnt or revised?

4.If you could be more critical of your technical skills (shots, angles, camera positioning) what will you do differently to improve your demonstration of match on action?

A2 Students : Audience Profiling PowerPoint and NME Reader Profile

Embedded below are the PowerPoint from the lesson and an example of a reader profile.

AS - Uploading 180 Degree and Shot Reverse Shot Project and HOMEWORK

Dear AS Media students,

You are working really hard and over the last couple of lessons have been filming and editing a simple piece of footage.

Now you need to embed this into your blogs and discuss it. I also want you to evaluate the activity and have included a document which doubles up as homework.

I will be marking blogs and recording a grade so far, according to the mark scheme from Monday of next week. Get your work up to date.

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.
