Research and Planning tasks

1) INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH

Make sure you've looked at lots (minimum 3)  Opening Sequences and that you have linked/embedded some examples and made notes on them - how they fit the conventions of openings (rules/expectations/common practice) - how will you use what you learn from these? This is INDIVIDUAL and a major part of what MARKS ARE ALLOCATED FOR! Deadline 10th Dec.

- You could use wikipedia to help you to work out what credits should be shown and in what order...

- You could be researching music on opening sequences for use later - remember you HAVE to make your own (or use music from a copyright free source)

2) GROUP RESEARCH AND PLANNING

Planning work - storyboard, brainstorms, location lists, cast list, props list, location recce shots, risk assessment, organisation of costumes, props etc

Production Meetings - notes on what discussed and decided

xXx – Editing Sequence Analysis worksheet by Julie Thrasher

Children of Men work - still due this week!!! - 12D and 12A

The write up of the 'Children of Men' extract is due WEDNESDAY. If you haven't finished it, please enure I get it by your next lesson this week!!!

You should be writing a brief textual analysis of the extract; that means you should use what we discussed in class about the extract and the grids in your pack on pages 4 and 6 to help you - page 6 gives you lots of questions to ask yourself about the sequence.

As we discussed, you should use technical terms where you can and remember to say not just what you can see (DENOTATION) but the meanings, effects and why the element has been 'chosen' or 'used' in that way by the film-maker (CONNOTATION). If you're still not sure about denotation/connotation, read page 9 in your pack or look it up online.
