Week Starting 14th December

By now, you should have all your initial footage! The main task of the week should be constructing a rough edit - putting all your footage in the right order in i-Movie. Getting to this stage means that you are in a good position to create a class product.

If you are not at this stage, then your priority is getting to this stage. You may be able to come in on Thursday or even early on next week - if this is something you want to do, then see Rachel as a matter of urgency, as we need to co-ordinate who is coming in and to ensure that you can access your computer when you come in.....

I will be auditing your progress the first lesson back - so make sure we get the New Year off to a good start.

Other areas to work on:

• outside of class, go over your blog and make sure it is complete - check the list and check your content - get all that research and planning in good shape
• make sure you have your copyright free music to edit to - you cannot really edit and then add music - often the timings are out and you need to re-edit!!!

This is your coursework and you get what you put into it - effort and time usually yield good marks, so please make me happy as we break up for Christmas and then you too can enjoy a well-earned break!

Instructions : Week Starting 7th December

This is a week when you should be out filming! Your main focus this week is to get all your footage by next Monday, 14th December. Obviously, this will require a lot of commitment outside the lesson BUT the product does count for 60% of your marks for this section of the course and you don't get something for nothing!

Obviously, when you have some footage, please download it onto your Mac asap, so you don't lose it.

You need to ensure you use lesson time efficiently. You can:

• edit your footage (you need your soundtrack to do this)
• ensure all research is done
• ensure all planning is done and on your blog.....

On Friday, you should add a post entitled 'Production Update' and log what you have done in terms of production and how it has gone.... Why not take some photos of yourselves in action and add them to this post???
