Preliminary Task: Creating A Storyboard From Initial Ideas

As a group we decided to choose the scenario of two sixth formers talking about their coursework.
This means the opening shot will be an establishing shot to show the viewers where the scene is set. We were given a task to complete the two minute clip using only 12 shots, we done this in 11 shots using a range of different camera shots, movements and angles. I have learnt how to use a range of different camera shots, angles and movements. This will make my clip look more realistic.

Foundation Portfolio : What Is It?

50% of your grade will be earned through your Foundation Portfolio. This consists of a preliminary task and a main task, the details of which can be found below.

The Preliminary Task is designed to illustrate the processes of pre-production, production and post-production that will be required, albeit in more detail, when you come to undertake the Main Task. The Preliminary Task is not marked but MUST be completed and submitted alongside the Main Task to the examiner. If it is not completed, marks are deducted from your Main Task.

The Main Task is marked out of 100. These marks are broken down as follows:

20 marks - Research into similar media products and planning of your own media product.
60 marks - Construction of your own media product including filiming and editing.
20 marks - Evaluation of your own media product.

All of your work must be posted to your blog as this will be accessed by the examiner in May of 2016.

For each of the criteria above, marks are available in 4 levels with level 4 being the highest. 

The progress thermometer below shows the key words for each level of the mark scheme.

This is what you have to do:
