URGENT NOTICE 2.

From looking at your blogs the following groups have not completed the R&P (Animatic with sound, foley, titles and color correction) and as such you have today's lesson remaining to get them on your blog

Again ensure you contact me with the link to your animatic to rbr@leighacademy.org.uk when you have finished your deadline for all other outstanding R&P is Friday 21st Dec 6pm

HOMEWORK
Over the 2 week Christmas holidays you will need to obtain permissions & risk assessments for locations, organise/prepare your actors, transport and obtain of costumes, props etc. so you are ready to shoot 1st weekend back. I will need video evidence of rehearsals of your characters so use your mobile phones etc.

Remember what you are responsible for will be held accountable for your share of the grade. (ie if you can't get actors on that day - this comes off the student who was responsible for organising them)

Deadline Friday 21st R&P

Please spend 10 minutes showing each other in your groups the L2,3 & 4 examples you found and think about how your film is shaping up - don't spend any longer than 10 mins though you have lots to do in your groups of 3...

This week is DEADLINE week for your R&P - these marks will be final.

BE AWARE - some of you still haven't emailed me your group blog addresses to link to my teaching blog - if they are not sent i cannot mark your work which will result in your getting a 0/20 for R&P

Lesson Objective

To be completed in your groups and uploaded to your group blog this week

1. Video Diary - final week R&P - what needs doing, are you on schedule (see wall chart!), who is responsible for what, when are you rehearsing (video evidence)

2. Animatic (Storyboard photos in Final Cut, with Titles integrated into your slates, Soundtrack and Foley - export to Youtube & Embed in your blog)

3. Shot List (the shooting order of your film with dates & locations)

4. Production Schedule (day, dates, times, location address)

Notice - this is a low budget shoot and as such your 'imaginary' budget will only stretches to pay for the hire lights, HD cameras for 3 days and the edit suite for 2 weeks

Therefore you will only have 1 block booking with the camera for either

Friday 4 PM - Monday 8.30 AM

Monday 4PM - Friday 8.30 AM

You will need to confirm on your Production Schedule when you will be shooting to reserve a camera along with a Risk Assessment and evidence that you have Permission to shoot/council shooting licence.

The available dates will be from the 1st weekend back (Friday 11th Jan) and for the next 3 weeks

Check your deadlines (first post on the blog) for when you have to complete your video
