On Monday 15-01-07, 12D1 need to get started on the following during your two lessons...
A. Group Blog
Set up a group blog for your Practical Production. You'll need to go to the Sixth Form computer rooms or the library to do this. Go to Blogger.com and click on 'Create Your Blog Now'. Follow the on-screen prompts to create your account and set up your template etc. Although I intended to demonstrate this during a lesson, I'm sure that there is at least one person in each group who is IT-literate enough to work things out. Ask a Year 13 Media student if you're stuck because they all know what to do.
Read carefully through the posting (below) about Practical Production Blog Setup before getting started. Then make sure you carry out all the tasks there in as much detail as possible before the deadline of Monday 22-01-07.
B. Self Evaluation

Freshie Idol
Media Language:
During the introduction of the trailer, Freshie idol, many shots were used to make the meaning clearer.
We saw medium shots, of the actors, so this way we saw what they were wearing and what they were doing clearly.
Long shots were also shown, so that we could see the judges all together, this was at two times on the trailer once when they were together in the cd store and another when they were seated in the room.
Notice how there were small sharp cuts, so that they could stick with the conventions of an actual film trailer.
A voiceover was used, and was said in a ‘Freshie’ tone, this created humour, but importantly fitted with the sequence it was used for.
The sound was parallel and non-diegetic which gave Freshie idol the authenticity it needed to make it look real.
Conventions:
‘Freshie Idol’ used real conventions, which we would usually see in a TV realty show. The fact that they showed the contestants, who sang, put across that it was a real event actually happening. These people were auditioning tow in ‘Freshie idol’ and similarly in reality shows like ‘x factor’ people will also audition for a place. The trailer followed the fact that sometimes judges can agree (this is shown in one scene when they were all hugging) and how they can also disagree (this was shown when they were slapping each other).
Creativity:
The trailer came across as real and was shown as if there was really a show ‘Freshie idol’ which we should look out for. This means that because it is like a copied version of an actually show and the only difference is this one will be to find the best ‘Freshie’; the show is actually based on reality.
Attention to Detail:
The trailer has a sense of authenticity and looks very real.
Shaky shots, voiceovers and interviews have been used, as these are real conventions to make it look real. The fact that we could see the shots of Southall Broadway shows that the trailer is definitely based around the location.
Technical Proficiency:
There are many shots, which have been used; these include close-ups, medium shots and long shots. A close up shot was used when a Freshie was shown singing; medium shots were used when we saw the judges and long shots were used when we saw the Freshie’s and judges together. The camera work matched well with the voice over and sound.
