Planning: Mise-En-Scene: Casting

Henry (age 16) is a sixth-former. Henry loves playing football and he is quite tall. However he is also a bit rude.

Henry will be played by George. He is a good choice for this role as he is confident, not shy in front of cameras, he is in the same age group and also he is quite tall as well.






Rob (age 12) is a student. Rob is shy and slightly awkward and he likes to play video games in his free time.

Rob will be played by James. He is a good choice for this role because he is similar age to Rob and he is also a bit shy.

Planning: Mise-En-Scene: Location Planning

First shot of our storyboard is a establishing shot of the school.

We have chosen our school for this shot because we have an easy access to it, it is not far away and it is easier for us.

It will be suitable for the scene because it will clearly shoe that the action will take place in a school.

Second shot in our storyboard is a long shot of the food tech corridor.

We have chosen this corridor because it will show the audience that Henry is in the school and is on his way to food tech room.

This shot will be suitable because it is in the school and from this angle it will be easy to understand that Henry is going to the class room.

Our next location will take place in the food tech room. In this room is going to happen the most of the recording. There will be used different shots and angles.

We have chosen this room because in our storyboard it is a food tech room, and because we have one in our school, it is easier for us to use it.

It will match to our storyboard because the audience will be able to see the ovens in the background, which will prove that it is a tech room.

Preliminary Task: Creating A Storyboard From Initial Ideas

As a group we decided that our story will include a sixth former and a a younger student. The main filming will take place in food tech room, where the sixth former will come in and sit down next to the student. Then they will exchange some lines of dialogue. To get this footage right we are using 12 shot challenge which will help us with timing and also include different angles, camera movements and shots.

In the lesson I have learned how to create a storyboard using 12 shots. As a group we had to decide what is going to happen in each shot, what angle it is going to be taken from, the camera movement and what type of shot it is going to be. I also learned how to take different camera shots, angles and movements which will make it easier for us to film, when it comes to the filming.

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:

Me As Consumer Of The Media

There are so many different types of movies in different languages and different styles. I like horror movies and action thrillers. you can watch movies in theaters, computers, mobile devices, i Pads and on the television and so on. Anyone can watch movies as long as they either have a TV or internet connection.

I like to watch movies when I'm bored. Movies are great for entertainment. People watch movies on occasions like a birthday party or a family get together. Some movies brings back memories from the past. I normally watch movies on my computer. I just find a website and watch movies from that webpage.

This is the trailer of one of my favorite movie.
