Following on nicely from our foray into horror filmmaking last week, Mark Kermode's latest blog post is in relation to screen monsters...check out the video and then consider his two questions
1. what is the scariest screen monster you have ever seen?
2. why? what is it about that monster that gets under your skin?
answers on a post card......or below is fine

Trent & Dove filming - Wednesday & Thursday
Let me know if you are available for this. Once I know who is filming I will let Lindsay know.
On Thursday we will be filming in Horninglow. The location is St Chads Community Centre 9.30 - 3.30.
We were meant to be going to Burton Town in the afternoon but unfortunately the centre Trent & Dove wanted to use is not available.
Once again, let me know who will be coming to sunny Horninglow on Thursday
Thanks!

production logs
as part of your corporate video unit you are required to keep a production log...
they ensure that you meet edexcel criteria and allow you to reflect on what you have done...they provide very good reading and if there was any doubt about how beneficial throwing yourself into filming actually is, I would like you all to have a quick read of the corporate video production logs that amy and deborah have produced

they have clearly gained much from the external projects - i want everyone to have this experience (and i know paul feels the same)!!!

Heritage Filming
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Now I've got your attention - Heritage filming this Wednesday...I need two camera, one sound
Amy & Deborah you have first refusal as you have done so well on the project - are you available?
Is anyone else interested - some of you need to do this remember...I know some of you have now signed up for Trent and Dove, but off the top of my head - Seth, Matt, Charlie and Lizzy this could be a way to get your filming part done and dusted (I only need one of you)
Chloe and Hassan - I believe you are doing Trent so you are ok

Unit 28 - Corporate Video/Production Documents
Some of you have said that you are unsure what to do in terms of documentation for your current unit
I have looked back through the brief and I need you to provide documents/blog posts that show that you have done the following:
Point 2
• allocated production roles and responsibilities
• determined the requirements of the brief
• identified the target audience
• determined appropriate content and style for the programme
• identified appropriate techniques to use in the production process
• checked that resources are available for the production process
• drafted script (not appropriate in our case - although you may count G-Man's interview questions)
• prepare a proposal and pitch this to client (prepare a proposal for the filming session you went to and we will tick it off)
• produce planning documentation (risk assessment, schedules, storyboards, etc - the usual)
Point 3
During production you will:
• manage time, resources and personnel to produce a programme
• obtain or book all shooting and post-production assets required
• undertake production and post-production work using appropriate techniques and within health and safety guidelines
• show finished work to a client and sample audience to identify any necessary changes
• modify work according to identified need for changes.
All learners must individually maintain a production log throughout the process and evaluate the final product - I have looked at some of your blogs and this doesn't seem to be happening across the board (I know some of you have been doing it, however)
You will also notice that you HAVE to contribute to filming - this is a requirement by edexcel!!! You have to "undertake production and post-production work" - without filming any footage you will not achieve the unit
I know that I have regurgitated the brief back to you but that is literally all I need - if you show me blog posts that relate to the bullet points above then I can grade you.
You may choose to title each blog post as one of the tasks if it makes it easier for you, e.g. 'target audience'...'resources'....'requirements of brief'...and so on
Don't Panic!
If anyone is confused speak to me on Thursday and I will go through it with you
Unit 28:
2 Be able to plan corporate or promotional programmes to a brief
Production requirements: client’s specification; audience needs; using appropriate techniques (single camera, multi-camera, sound dubs, studio, location); using appropriate formats
Planning: scheduling; production and management roles; monitoring progress; identifying logistics
Resources: time; budget; physical, eg equipment, location, studio, properties; people, eg crew, talent
3 Be able to produce corporate or promotional programmes to a brief
Production: studio or location recording; health and safety; managing production; recording material; controlling logistics
Post-production: collating material; logging material; shaping material; liaising with client; reviewing material; making changes

E.g. if you went to the Neville Brown interview, "imagine" that you had planned it out prior to filming. You will therefore have produced a number of blog posts that relate to the bullet points above
