After Busted

Here are some jobs to do after you've finished editing your Busted video, uploaded it to Youtube and embedded it in your blog.

1. If you haven't done so already, send me your blog URL - cw@wsfc.ac.uk
2. Follow my blog by clicking the follow button at the top of the screen.
3. Add 4 short blog posts explaining and evaluating the Busted and lip synching activities: details of this are below.


A blogging task

This is to be completed individually.

During the A2 year you will be blogging throughout the year, constantly referring to skills you are developing and concepts you find yourself applying.
To begin this process, you are being asked to construct a blog post around each of the following skills. In each post, you must write a little bit – keep it short – about each skill and how it developed during these short production tasks.

1. Introduction: briefly explain what you’ve been doing (busted/lip synch)

2. Research and Planning
Which of the planning tasks was most useful? (Storyboard, Shooting script…)
What kinds of planning do you wish you had done more of?
Show the planning you did in this blog – images, lists etc.
What kinds of planning do you expect to be doing during the A2 year? (make a list)

3. Production:
How did your knowledge of production technology develop? (Cameras, edit suites, use of Youtube, blogging etc.)
What did you learn during this production task?
What sort of technology skills would you like to develop during the A2 year?
What did you learn during this production task?
How did the shoot go? What went wrong? What do you need to do make sure these things don’t happen again?

4. Post-Production
How did your editing go? What would have helped you edit more effectively?
Specifically - what are the tools and devices used editing that you felt were particularly useful?
Can you show images of the specific tools?

In all cases, you need to show and tell – include images and explain them.
Embed Youtube clips, upload images and produce screen grabs of work in progress.


You need to get all this complete by the end of the week.
