More ways to practise ..

1. Informal.
Marchlands, a ghost story drama currently on ITV, cross cuts between 3 simultaneous narratives set at different times but the same location. It's quite fun but even if you don't want to devote 3 hours to it, it's worth checking out an episode to see how they manage the transitions .. lots of graphic match, action match, pan and wipe etc.

This is the link to the clip used in the Jan 2011 exam. Watch the first 5 minutes and analyse how the repreentation of gender is constructed using camera, editing, mise en scene and sound.
Due Tuesday March 1.

Technical Codes and Conventions/Terminology in the Toolkit

YOU NEED TO LEARN THESE

and practise recognising/ using them on a regular basis, not just in lessons

If you are finding this difficult or have mislaid resources handed out then these links may help you.
Most are to Youtube clips so you will not be able to access at school.
It's a bit of a mixture but all links included have something useful to say. None are very long.

Missing Work Reminder!

The clips of Hustle and Blood and Oil are available for viewing in
Coursework on Hercules : P Drive. You can also transfer to a USB and take home if you wish.

Hustle is poor quality (don't ask!) but gives the idea
Blood and Oil is a huge file as it's the complete episode.

Silent Witness is available on Click View as previously discussed.

Ashes to Ashes
Skins
Monarch of the Glen
Cutting It
The Chase

all need to be viewed in school.
