PRACTICAL PRODUCTION BLOGS

Please remember that your practical productions blogs will be submitted to the coursework examiner - you MUST keep your blog up-to-date with EVERYTHING you have done so far.

Here is what a good practical production blog looks like:

If yours looks nothing like this, then it needs to!  There will be no opportunity at the end of your practical work to tidy up and catch up with your work.  The practical production work is based as much on PROCESS as it is on the final PRODUCT.  

Remember: approximately 50% of your practical mark is for your film, the other 50% for your research, planning and evaluation.

Here's what you need to now do for next Monday 12th January 2009:

1. Read p.93 - 99 of the OCR book, taking notes on how Crime dramas are constructed to create meaning

2. Research and watch as many crime dramas as possible, creating an a4 factfile on the typical conventions of a crime drama. Refer to the 4 technical areas as well as typical representations (eg, gender roles, region, race and ethnicity, age, etc). Use screenshots and examples to support your findings.
