Introduction

Hello! My name is Veronika and this is my AS Media blog. It will include all my work on the 2 minute opening sequence of a film which we have to create. My partner will be Anna Sabina Moldovan. You can comment on anything you find interesting or not so good, give feedback and advice. Thank you

The brief for this is as follows:

Preliminary exercise:

Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room sitting down in a chair opposite another character with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.

Main task:

the titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last a maximum of two minutes'.

'All video and audio material must be original, produced by the candidate(s), with the exception of music or audio effects from a copyright-free source'
'Both preliminary and main tasks may be done individually or as a group. Maximum four members to a group.'

Marking of work:
'The centre will be expected to allocate marks according to four levels for each of three categories: 

• 'Research and Planning
• Construction
• Evaluation In arriving at a level for each category, teachers are advised to look for evidence of ‘best fit’. It is possible both for a candidate to be placed in different levels for each of the three categories and to receive quite different marks from other members of the same group responsible for producing an artefact, accoring to his/her contribution. Teachers are asked to support marks with written comments uneder the three categories on the assessment sheet.

In centres where there is more than one teacher involved in the marking, there MUST be evidence that internal standardisation has taken place to ensure a consistent rank order.'
