AS Portfolio - research into similar products

To assist students in building a picture both technically and creatively for their main tasks we have researched similar products that relate to the productions students are planning.

We then viewed the opening sequences of each text and analysed treatment, style, content and the film language used to create and introduce the story.

The five films we looked at were.

1. No Country For Old Men

2. Falling Down

3. Hot Fuzz

4. The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh

5. Enduring Love

New Shoots Film Festival 2009

On Friday 16th October the A2 Media Students and myself attended the 5th annual 'New Shoots' Film Festival at Wheatley Park School.

The festival is for media students in the Oxfordshire area. Both AS and A2 work is submitted and on the day awards are given for best editing, sound, performance, cinematography, composition and Narrative.

For the 4th year running The Marlborough School won best in catagory. This year 'Boys & Girls' a documnetary by Marni Banks, Ashleigh Houlton and Jo Meadowcroft from Yr 13 last year about the relationships and differences between the sexes won 'Best Compostion'. In previous years we have won Best Fiction, Best Factual and Best Performance.

The Marlborough Media Studies department and its students continue to go from strength to strength. The pressure is now on for a 5th win!
