Cover Work: 23rd June 2011

I am on a course today...sorry! Here is your work for the lesson:

Please ensure that the following research and work is on your blog:

1. Class notes on documentary types/modes. You have had over a week to add this and some of you still haven’t bothered. DO IT!

2. Write up your notes on the A2 documentaries that you analysed last Friday. If you were absent the documentaries are on SL3 on the desktop. Watch then and analyse the typical conventions, what worked well and what needs improving. If in doubt ask one of the class or see me in tomorrow’s lesson.

3. Start to do some research on Mockumentaries. This is a great documentary form that you can experiment with creating as practice work. Look at the following:

¬ Borat/Ali G/Bruno
¬ Summer Heights High/Angry Boys
¬ Start Stories

By tomorrow’s lesson I am expecting all of 1 and 2 to be completed and for you to have evidence of research for Mockumentaries – not a Wiki print out!


Remember to complete Miss Donovan’s work on Nick Broomfield and load it all onto your blog. Her blog is: http://missdonovansmedia.blogspot.com – make sure that you are following it!

If there are any problems email me; don’t leave it until tomorrow’s lesson. Mrs Porter also has the work if you need a paper copy.
