 * Here is a guide. Establish the BRIEF with the teacher. It does not have to be a "coming of age " video.



Note. The Brief

The idea of coming of age is a suggestion only. You may bend a genre to an idea and then make this the student brief with the teacher in agreement. Write the brief out using the genre as the frame and including any references to inspiration or other aligned media that may have parallels. : e.g vignette, short drama, music video.

In 2014 there were four films to receive merit: an Absurdist film REALITY VERSUS EXPECTATION and a Self-Reflexive vlog SAM SAYS. Also, a vignette FOR YOU These received M. A music video FLY LIKE AN EAGLE received an A See past exemplars

Student instructions

Introduction

This assessment activity requires you to shoot, record and edit a 3–8 minute coming-of-age ( or other genre - see teacher notes below) short film to meet the requirements of a brief.

You will use the design you developed previously for assessment of achievement standard Media Studies AS91494

You can complete this short film as an individual or as a group task. If you choose to work in a group, it can consist of a maximum of three members, and you will need to maintain a blog demonstrating your individual contribution to the short film. You will have 10 weeks of in-class and out-of-class time to complete this assessment activity.

You will be assessed on how consistently you select and apply production technology and media conventions to create a short film that meets the requirements of the brief, engages an audience, and commands and captures audience attention.

__Task__ Produce a short film using the design that you developed for Design and Plan

__** Production **__ Shoot the footage you need for your film.

Check on the lights C - Stands here:



Record all the sound you will need, diegetic and non-diegetic. Select and/or produce any music you need for your film. Remember to ensure you have copyright clearance for your music or that you use creative commons or copyright-free music. Create and/or manipulate any graphics you will need, including photographs. Check the quality as you work to make sure you have high-quality material (footage, sound, music and graphics) to use in post-production.

AUDIO ALERT

 **Four points to remember about the "first link" in the audio chain and "preventative maintenance"**

> **1**. The audio chain is only as strong as it's weakest link > **2** . Low frequency sounds, because of their larger physical size, tend to interact with their surrounding environment in more perceptible ways than high frequency sounds seem to. > **3** . Fix as many sound "issues" as possible BEFORE shooting > **4** . If you record poor quality sound, it will ALWAYS be poor quality

__** Post-production **__ Edit your footage using a software package.( Adobe Premiere. Export to 48 k herz, PAL 25 frames, .mov file by sharing to Quicktime ) Synthesize the audio and visual components to communicate a message that has impact, style, tone, theme and/or mood. Make deliberate choices in your use and application of media technology and conventions to complete your film that will engage an audience. Aim to make your film command and capture audience attention. Be prepared to spend approximately half of the allocated time on this stage. __ Final submission __ Make final checks of your film to ensure that all elements work as intended and are synchronized. Finalise and export your film, and submit it for assessment. IMPORTANT. __** Production log entries **__ Include a copy of, or link to, your log of your specific individual contributions to the production and post-production work. These importantly note changes in ideas, refinements, discarded material notes.
