This Blog focuses mainly on A2 Film Studies WJEC, but AS Film students will also find it useful to log in from time to time.

WJEC Advice on the Creative Project

FM3 Creative Project (Psims v1)

Work for Friday 11th December Period 4 - 6

Sorry I have to go to an exam board meeting today.
I've posted the practical project guide which you should read through.
If you are making a film, you should write your 200 word proposal outlining your ideas for a film sequence and draw up a shooting schedule.
If you want to write a film script, you need to also write a 200 word proposal and check out how to set the script out correctly.
I am assuming you have almost finished the film project you began two weeks ago, but four of you may still have some editing to do.
Finally, you have more work to continue with on those presentation scripts. If  you are in, Sophie, you'll find some hand outs on presentation scripts in the A2 Film Studies box near the cupboard in EM3. Alex will help you find the ones I gave out on Wednesday.
See you next week

Essay on City of God

City of God Exemplar Essay

Theatrical Trailer "Tsotsi" - Gavin Hood 2005

Watch this trailer for Tsotsi (2005), directed by Gavin Hood. The film follows six days in the life of a young gang leader who ends up caring for a baby whom he accidentally kidnaps during a car-jacking. Set in the Johannesburg township of Soweto, ‘Tsotsi’ means ‘thug’ or ‘gangster’ in the language of the ghetto.

Welcome back,
I hope all your exams went well. We're going to kick off with A2 coursework presentations - at least, we're going to be working towards them and preparing the research.

Here's a copy of The advice from the WJEC which will help you with layout etc:
