Progress Update

There are 6 weeks until the Easter break which means - 6 weeks of lesson time to complete my foundation portfolio.

There are 60 marks available for construction and 20 marks for Research and Planning and 20 marks for evaluation - 100 marks in total

To achieve a grade:

A I need to get 80 marks

B I need to get 70 marks

C I need to get 60 marks

To be in level 4 (grade A/B) my work must demonstrate excellence throughout.

By Monday 5th March I should have a rough cut of my products

By Monday 19th March my products should be completed

From Monday 19th - Friday 30th March I will be working on my 7 evaluation questions.

The my completed portfolio should be submitted for formal marking on Monday 16th April. I should use the Easter break to make any minor amendments to my work.

In order to meet these deadlines, and gain the grade I am aiming for (A/B), I will:

• Attend all lessons before the deadline.
• Work both in and out of the class room.
• Have all Costumes and Props organised before the shoot.
• Have all footage shot and ready to edit by the end of this week (Beginning 20th Feb 2012).
• Start creating my soundtrack in GarageBand or create the opening credits in Final Cut Express if I am unable to start filming.
• Make sure to update blog posts as soon as I complete parts of the project. 
• Keep up to date with all work and do not wait till last minute. 
• Use all spare time to create project. 
• Keep to the shooting schedule created.
• Update blog if anything changes to my original ideas or cast while shooting. 
• Meet all deadlines set in class, keep ahead if possible. 
• Make sure actors know where and when to turn up for shooting.
• Make sure they know what costume they where in what scene.
