This weeks Lessons

 

I have been through the blogs and there are some of you who still have blank blogs meaning no posts this is a real concern address thisas soon as possible. Remember all these will go to the external can he see what your researching?  I will be taking you all to the library this week to start gathering sources.  Worryingly on two people have used the magazines in the Editing Suite.  Oli has a great film knowledge speak to him or to me at any time

Things to do this week

• Present proposed titles on your blog
• Back these up with annotated clips trailers or scenes (evidence of textual analysis)
• Continue to collect resources for your cataloge (you do not need to post all resources get a plastic wallet to keep it all in)
• Gather reviews of all your films Sight and Sound Empire (always look for the month before)
• Look through my files of resources
• Use the library not everything can be electronic.

Update

I am very pleased to see so much progress on your blogs.  It is now important that you start to gather sources for you research project.  Which films could you use (3 in total 4 in some cases)  Make sure you look very widely so we can start to discuss getting it narrowed down to a research statement that I can then send to the moderator.  

If you are looking at changes over time then you will need some older texts?

Get into the library and editing suite and go through magazines looking for sources

If you want to sit down and discuss before next week then come to the office or mail me.

Initial Research

Ready for your first lesson next week I would like you to have some outline ideas for your research topic.  This should not be a finalised question but something we can discuss.

You now need to start collecting articles clips anything you can find in the wider context to help focus your research.  Please ensure all posts have some annotation (why did you choose this clip how does it aid your idea)

In order to help you have a look down the links on the right of this post from some of last years students.

Go and read this months Sight and Sound and Empire to get some ideas ask Oli and Sophie to look in the back copies of both that are kept in the editing Suite

Any questions see me

Good luck
