Coursework: Statement of Intent, pre-production and filming

Our coursework projects are really starting to take off with some brilliant preliminary exercises. Now it's time to update our Statements of Intent and plan the music video for real.

The next stages of the project are critical - this is where the video project will stand or fall. The next tasks and deadlines are as follows:

Statement of Intent second draft
Submitted as a NEW blog post AND hard copy from Microsoft Word
Deadline: Week commencing Monday 2 November

Music video pre-production

Three blogposts with a final music video treatment, mise-en-scene plan and shot list.

Deadline: Week commencing Monday 9 November

Filming of music video

Filming window: Monday 19 October - Friday 20 November
Deadline: Friday 20 November

Tutorials
While you work on the above deadlines, you will have another tutorial with your coursework teacher looking at your latest Statement of Intent and checking pre-production planning. For those who film early in the filming window, it will also involve checking the 'rushes' (the film clips as they come in).

Mark scheme

A few of you have requested the mark scheme for the Statement of Intent. You can find it in the A Level Media specification document here - on pages 21-22 (if you keep scrolling you can also find the mark scheme for the remaining 50 marks for your productions).

This is the moment you need to step up... we're demanding professional standards to match the incredible production work Greenford Media students have produced at A Level in the past. Good luck!
