Research/Media Literacy: Communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats.

Your formative will be a piece entitled: 'A Day in the Life of...(Insert Name Here)'

This will be done individually. You will have to edit together a narrative. Now before we start researching by watching other versions on the internet... I would like for you to:

Task One: Write a Vision statement for your piece. Think about the research you have done previously on documents. What would you like to show about your life? The patterns, the sounds, the specifics.... Complete this on Google Classroom (You may want to add this also to your Learning Portfolio.)

Task Two: Watch the two videos below. How do they compare? What do you like about each of them?

Task Three: Write some notes, thinking specifically about what you may want to use from these in your own films.

I may as well note here that you will not be allowed to use backing music. (See the second piece.) What I do not want is a poor man's music video.

Stop Here... Next Lesson you will learn about SOT. If you have finished early you may want to go and get a head start!
