Task 1- Using stock images construct a photostory or a digital storyboard of your day so far.
Then consider:
  • What aspects of the narrative have you selected and why?

Year 13 Resits

Message for all Year 13 pupils who have chosen to resit AS coursework and/or exam. T1 has been booked every Tuesday lesson 2 and my time has been protected so that we can meet weekly. It is very important that you attend  although you may not always be kept for the hour, you will need to collect work and hand in work regularly.

Tomorrow (22nd October) we will be analysing the Exam report looking at BOTH MS1 & MS2 so please ensure you attend.

Thanks, Mrs McCarthy

BFI's Introduction to Editing

 

http://www.screenonline.org.uk/education/teachingwithfilm/introtoediting.html


Both classes have seen these videos before but it is good to have this link saved as it is an extremely useful resource. Year 12 this will help you with your textual analysis skills and support your coursework later this year. Year 13, please watch these videos again to help you prepare for your own filming and editing.
