MESSAGE TO YR 11 BTEC

Hi Guys just to let you know there are 3 weeks left this term - that means 15 hours worth of lessons left with me!  (Excluding after school)  As you are aware I shall be in school every night after school this term!  Remember this is worth 4 GCSE's and this is your priority from now on!!!

I apologise if my words sound harsh guys but you have very little time left to complete all units!  

This is the most important time in  your life - trust me I've been there!!!  

If you're working from home on specific units here is the FRONT SHEET / TICK LIST, to help you!

If you need any help email me on emgazcj@gmail.com it goes direct to my phone.

Now scroll down and look at UNIT 4 and UNIT 2- be sure to read it all at least once!!!!!  It is easy to do if you read it, don't panic do one sheet at a time...and before you know it it'll be all completed.  

I have every faith in you to complete the units !!! 

See you in school!

Miss Shaw 

HALF TERM COURSEWORK SESSIONS

YR 11 - COURSEWORK CATCH UP SESSIONS ARE AVAILABLE FROM WEDNESDAY TO FRIDAY NEXT WEEK! 

Yr 10 - BTEC

Hi Guys,
Whilst you're off I'd like you to get your questionnaires filled in and analyse each answer - i.e 8 out of 10 parents said their children liked the tweenies....etc.

You can also create graphs on excel for each answer.
To do this you must go onto excel and create a chart look at the example below

Childrens programmes watched by children
tweenies 2
Teletubbies 3
Dora the explorer 5

If you are using 2008/09 microsoft office
Highlight the chart you create and click on insert and choose which graph you want and hey presto the machine does it for you! You may need to try different types of graphs to make them.

If you are using 2003/2007 microsoft office
Then highlight the chart you create and click on the graph wizard button. It's a button near the top of the screen with a wand and graph on it.

If you have any problems doing this you can email it to me on shawe@tmac.uk.com . This work needs to be completed by the time you get back after half term! Do it sooner rather than later, so you can enjoy your half term hols!

Have a good un!

Miss Shaw

FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS BTEC NEEDS TO BE YOUR PRIORITY AS THIS IS WORTH 4 GCSE'S AND THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS STRESS YOU OUT WHEN YOU NEED TIME TO REVISE!!!

It is imperative that you get Unit 4 completed as soon as possible!!!!

Below is a list of paperwork you need to complete it within the role you choose!

1. ARE YOU THE PRODUCER OR DIRECTOR - CHOOSE AND COMPLETE THE PAPERWORK BELOW : CLICK ON THE LINKS IN RED TO ACCESS THE TEMPLATES...EACH TEMPLATE HAS AN EXAMPLE ON THE FIRST PAGE!

Producer MUST COMPLETE the following documents to show the PRE-PRODUCTION PROCESS!

• Diary / Log Book
  
• Proposal Document
  
• Treatment
  
• Storyboard
  
• Draft script
  
• Detailed script
  
• Mood Board - print off images that have anything to do with a chase sequence think about setting, characters, camera shots used and music, stick them to a plain piece of paper and annotate the images you use, explaining them a little.
  
• Planning sheets
  
• Shooting Schedule *
  
• Recce *
  

(Draw a sketch of the location on this sheet)

• Risk Assessment - Health and Safety
  

Director MUST COMPLETE the following documents

• Diary / Log Book

• Storyboard
  
• Draft script
  
• Detailed script

• Planning Sheets
  
• Budget *
  
• Call sheet *
  

You also have to document your roles during the PRODUCTION PROCESS!

Producer

• Log the shots as they are being filmed, ask the director to shout out what camera shots they are using and write them down with the Time codes (what time the shot starts and ends). If you are doing this after you have filmed you need to look through your original tape and write down a list of the shots as they appear.
  

• Write down how you briefed the actors and told them what to do in order to ensure the shoot went well. (this can be used as part of your evaluation too)
  

Director

• Operate the camera and film! Using the storyboard!
  

• Make sure the sound is working after the first shot, wind it back and listen to it.
  

You also have to document your roles during the POST PRODUCTION PROCESS!

Producer

• Ensure the tapes are labelled correctly and accurately!
  

• Edit the footage - this needs to be completed in L12 so we'll do this after school.
  

Director

• Complete a paper edit, from the footage log. Using this you can edit your footage on paper.
  

• Find the music and edit it together on your chase sequence. This needs to be the last part of the editing process. Because if you add another shot the music will go out of sink!
  

• If you have completed filming and editing, you can complete an evaluation of the whole filming process! click on the following link for the evaluation form!
  

For UNIT 17 (Horror Trailer) all you have to do is fill in the same documents. Therefore I suggest you try a different role! If you were a producer this time then you should be a director next, in order to experience the difference between the roles.
