Script Writing Brief
Hello.
I've attached the scriptwriting brief HERE
If you have any questions about what you need to do add a comment to this post. I'm away from Friday 13th but will be checking the blog now and again.
In essence, you need to provide evidence that you know about and understand the commissioning process, research into scripts and possible ideas, produce a proposal, pitch script proposal and then write a draft script.
In order to write the script you will need to download a script writing piece of software. There are different ones but I recommend using Celtx as it's free and is a really good tool. The script you submit must be in the correct format - do not just create one in word.

Unit Descriptor for Script Writing
This is the link to the Unit Descriptor that corresponds to the script writing task I have set you over the Summer. I have already discussed this with you all and I asked you all to take notes, which I know you did.
Please read through it, especially the learning outcomes, grading criteria and also how the unit is assessed - especially the distinction criteria.
As you are aware these next few weeks are very busy and I'm away next week shooting a short film. Therefore, I will not probably see you until September.
It is my intention to post the brief for the task during the first 2 weeks of July so keep your eyes peeled.

Have a good Summer and see you in September.
p.s. keep making.

Vertical Videos
One day task (vimeo weekend project)....
"Our computer screens and trips to movie theaters have biased our eyeballs. When we think of video, our first thought most likely includes films snuggled safely into the 16:9 or 4:3 format....LIKE THIS
4:3 (similar to older, square televisions)
16:9 (like most modern TV sets)
But that's not the only way! Turn a camera sideways and you've got a whole new world of compositional possibilities. Not convinced? Check out Jesse Rosten's beautiful video, Beach Verticals: vimeo.com/10453905
Today you to should forget tradition and flip your camera 90°! But don't let this rotation change your aesthetic sensibilities, if you need a little inspiration, head over to the Tallscreen Channel: vimeo.com/groups/tallscreen
The restrictions are as follows: Your video must be a vertical and made of static shots (i.e. with a tripod).
Think of it as a photograph that moves and use this opportunity to capture something subtle, like the slight movement of leaves in the wind, or the hint of a smile on a friends face"
Working in pairs, you are to make 5 videos (each 1 minute long):
1. Nature
2. People
3. Architecture
4. Breweries
5. One of your own choosing
Editing - 10.30
Videos to be shown at 11.45

CIQ Adaption
From Tomorrow I would like you all to use the new CIQ template please.
New Template:
Critical Incident Questionnaire and Learning Style
Please take about five minutes to respond to each of the questions below about today’s class. Don’t put your name on the form – your responses are anonymous. When you have finished writing, copy and paste your response to the course blog under the correct sub heading. At the start of next week’s class, I will be sharing the responses with the group. Thanks for taking the time to do this. What you write will help me make the seminars responsive to your concerns.
1. At what moment in the class this week did you feel most engaged with what was happening?
2. At what moment in the class this week did you feel most distanced from what was happening?
3. What action that anyone (teacher or student) took in class this week did you find most affirming and helpful?
4. What action that anyone (teacher or student) took in class this week did you find the most confusing puzzling?
5. What about the class this week surprised you the most? (This could be something about your own reactions to what went on, or something that someone did, or anything else that occurs to you.)
The only difference is the addition of your individual learning style. The reason for this is to expand upon the pilot CIQ research. More specifically, I'm now looking at whether the learning style of an individual impacts on their ability to fully understand and interact with a session.
If your not sure what learning style you are I will provide you with this information tomorrow. Learning styles are either kinaesthetic, visual or auditory.

Useful book for all you budding DSLR Filmmakers
I took delivery of an inspection copy (pre-release) yesterday. I've had a quick look through and it provides some good information in relation to DSLR cinema - it mainly focuses on Canon but also Nikon.
Well worth a read !
