Priest: We are gathered here today to commemorate the loss of Harambe, the gorilla. An endangered silverback, Harambe was a good man, and an even greater meme. Like many of his generation he died, before his time.
(Priest keeps talking)
Hugh: He was so young...
Priest: In your wisdom Lord, you took him. Harambe was a simple ape, one who loved children and his family. He worked as a childminder leading up to that fateful day, where such a bright flame was stolen away from us in such a short space of time.

Storyboard
From our initial ideas, we were asked to put together 12 storyboard panels demonstrating the idea. We were instructed to include information on the scenes, such as where it is set, what type of shot/movement/angle will be used, cast members, and any other information deemed necessary. In addition, we had to create a picture for each of the scenes. The storyboards are located below.

Preliminary Task - First ideas
So for my coursework, I'm working with my boy Sam Thomson.
We were instructed to brainstorm a bunch of ideas for our first task; producing a short video, where two characters have a conversation.
After being given the design brief, we were given some freedom to come up with some possible scenarios we could implement into the video.
Below are a few pictures of us working.
That's me on the right.
Here's a picture of the completed mind-map.
The idea we're thinking of going with right now is the funeral of Harambe the gorilla. We chose this idea as it gives us some freedom to add comedy and such to the script, and because the idea is unique enough for it to be noticable. However, the logistics of this might prove a little bit difficult, so just incase, we can fall back on one of the interviews/general discussions.
Foundation Portfolio: What is it?
50% of your grade will be earned through your Foundation Portfolio. This consists of a preliminary task and a main task, the details of which can be found below.
The Preliminary Task is designed to illustrate the processes of pre-production, production and post-production that will be required, albeit in more detail, when you come to undertake the Main Task. The Preliminary Task is not marked but MUST be completed and submitted alongside the Main Task to the examiner. If it is not completed, marks are deducted from your Main Task.
The Main Task is marked out of 100. These marks are broken down as follows:
20 marks - Research into similar media products and planning of your own media product.
60 marks - Construction of your own media product including filiming and editing.
20 marks - Evaluation of your own media product.
All of your work must be posted to your blog as this will be accessed by the examiner in May of 2016.
For each of the criteria above, marks are available in 4 levels with level 4 being the highest.
The progress thermometer below shows the key words for each level of the mark scheme.
This is what you have to do:

This is what you have to do:
Preliminary Exercise
Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.
Main Task
The titles and opening of a new teen horror film, to last a maximum of two minutes.
All video and audio material must be original, produced by the candidate(s), with the exception of music or audio effects from a copyright-free source. Both preliminary and main tasks must be completed as a group. Maximum four members to a group.
Basic Media Terminology
1) Basic Camera Shots
-Wide shot
-Long shot
-Close up
-Extreme close up
-Establishing shot
-Two shot
-Point of view shot
2)Basic Camera Angles
-High angle
-Low angle
-Over the shoulder
3)Basic Camera Movements
-Panning
-Zoom
-Crane
-Tracking in
-Tracking out
-Tracking sideways
-Tilt
-Arc
4) The 180 degree rule is when you attempt to film two characters having dialogue. An invisible line is drew between the two, and the camera must remain on one side of the line no matter what. This is so that it seems like the characters are talking to each other. Without the 180 degree rule, it may seem like the characters are facing the same way while conversing, which would confuse the audience.
