G325 Exam Preparation

Now that coursework is nearly finished, we will be focusing full-time on preparation for the G325 exam. This presentation is designed to prepare you for Section A of the exam:

G325 revision preparation from ChewValleySchool

Deadlines...

Here are your deadlines...
• Principal photography done by 18th February


• Main Task edits done by 8th March

• Main Task evaluation done by 22nd March

• Blogs complete (including ancillary tasks) by April 15th

• Exam teaching to begin on April 8th

• Final day of teaching: May 23rd

• Exam: June 4th (pm)

Don't forget you should also be working on the two ancillary tasks and updating your blogs regularly. Once you are editing, please export "work in progress" versions of your films, upload them to YouTube and embed into your blog so you can write about what you have achieved so far, and what you need to fix, change, add or remove. You should have at least three or four "work in progress" versions before you post your final edit. The more the better. Don't forget also to screenshot the edits.

Here's an A grade example A2 music video from Pete Fraser's excellent media blog:

YouTube Visitors

YouTube starts OMFGItsJackandDean will be visiting Chew Valley on Friday 16th November to talk to AS and A2 Media Students during periods 5 and 6 in D3. Check out their channel here or check out some of their videos below:

Interesting Music Videos #4: Slow Club

Slow Club are my current favourite band.


Trophy Room
A video-about-making-a-video. Nicely postmodern.


Beginners
Look! It's Daniel Radcliffe! Another single-take wonder here (like No Surprises). I have blogged at some length about this video for Year 12 students here.

Interesting Music Videos #3: General

Here are a few other music videos that are interesting.


Radiohead - No Surprises
An unfliching single shot - incredibly effective.


Coldplay - The Scientist
Classic bit of backwards narrative from Coldplay.


Metronomy - She Wants
Something a bit more up-to-date here. Lovely set-up and some great editing from Metronomy.
