• As part of your research you should try and familiarise yourself with other students' work from other schools. What grade do you thin these would get and why?
    Here is an excellent blog: Grade A and here is one that err.. isn't very excellent


  • So for your case studies you need to pick two films that demonstrate different sides of the industry. One should be a huge blockbuster type production and the other a much smaller independent film. But what does actually make a film British:
     



    So 'but what is a case study?' i hear you cry well here is a good example: Yours should be like this and explain key facts aroudn teh key stages of the film cycle. PRODUCTION > DISTRIBUTION > EXHIBITION . Any questions then comment here. Good luck

  • So hopefully (if Georgina remembers to bring her DVD in) we will be watching Pulp Fiction on Monday after school. Its quite long so if people get tired we might watch it over two weeks. It's an incredible film featuring amazing performances and hilarious. creative dialogue. Surely one of the greatest breakthrough independent mainstream cross over hits of all time.. i'll stop talking now..

    Just come and watch it, bring yourselves, bring a friend, but most of all bring some popcorn !

  • After our amazing trip to the BFI i know you all raring to go and jump into a pil;e of books and articles about the british film industry so i thought i would give you a few helpful links here.








    Remember this is a research and presentation of knowledge based task so teh person who knows the most and has the most interesting facts and case study examples will get the best grade. You get few marks for style and grammar etc so dont think you can rock up on the day and ace this. You actually need to know stuff.. this isnt Maths !

    (sorry maths department)

    Anyway here are some brilliant links to help you:

  • Ok here it is the amazing, brilliant, badly spelt collection of editing clips.

    Well done though , this is decent work for one lesson!



    Year 12 students try and exemplify all known editing techniques ... ex from Mr Sloan on Vimeo.

  • Thanks to all the class (minus 3 who missed out) who came to the year 12 study day at the British Film Institute last Friday for a study and preperation day for your upcoming exam on the British Film Industry. It was great to see you all asking questions infront of you peers and enjoying talking about the film industry and  listening so well to actual real people who work in the industry rather than just your teacher telling you about it.

    Im sure you had a great day. Hopefully you learnt a lot to get you thinking about your research projects on British vs Hollywood film.

    Here is a trailer for a film we will probably watch soon, its this year's 'fish tank' apparently:


  • So at the end of last term you guys completed a short mock exam style analysis, and generally it was very pleasing to see you all attempt it so well. For your first effort at this kind of exam you all did well. In today's lesson we will be analysing the clip in a bit more detail in order to get you thinking about the techniques involved and also going over exam technique.

    I had a go at screen capturing some analysis of the clip , but its a bit embarrassing so i will leave it for you guys to do this afternoon !
