Coursework: rough cut deadline

After filming the majority of our interviews and cutaways for our TV documentaries, it's now time to deliver a 3-minute rough cut of the video production.

This is the most important part of the coursework - the actual editing and construction of a professional-level media production. We know this is time-consuming - professional work takes serious commitment in the edit suite. You will be given two weeks of lesson time plus homework time to edit your work.

Re-shoots and additional filming

We understand that there will need to be some additional filming or re-shooting of certain shots. That is natural for any production aiming for a top grade. However, you should all have plenty of material to be editing over the next two weeks even if there may be some re-shoots required at some point. 

Rough cut deadline: Monday 13 December

The rough cut deadline requires you to deliver an exported 3-minute opening sequence to your TV documentary. This needs to be clearly labelled in your folder on Media Shared and also uploaded on YouTube and to your blog. You will be given a feedback tutorial.

After Christmas, we will be starting the print side of the brief and revising for the full mock exams in January.

Good luck and let's make some outstanding, professional documentary openings!
