The Linked Production research and planning was due the week before Easter but several of you have not yet produced anything on your MEST4 coursework blog. The mark scheme for MEST4 is absolutely clear: production work must "approach professional standards". There is no chance of your work meeting this requirement if you do not research existing texts and plan meticulously.
If you haven't done so already, complete the following urgently by your next Media coursework lesson:
1) Confirm your production brief. You write this yourself but it's absolutely crucial this is clear, appropriate and achievable. You should have done this already - the original blogpost was here - but it may have changed as a result of your preliminary exercise.

Vogue style magazine exploring fashion, culture and photography. Published by Conde Nast. Aimed at a young adult audience( due to models ages). Some detailed righting but image focus (like vogue). Sleek and Elegant yet with something different and fresh. Signature difference in terms of content. Yet typical fashion format.
2) Research: detailed notes on at least THREE texts similar to what you are creating. What are the key conventions? What can you learn/borrow from the examples you have looked at?
Details of clothes
Photographers and editors
Branded typography
Some pages have more pictures others images
Editorial notes/ article
3) Project schedule: when will you shoot and edit this production? Make this a week-by-week schedule leading up to Easter. Key dates: we break up for Easter on Friday 31 March and the final deadline is Wednesday 19 April.
Week 1 (this week) - edit first set of photos
Week 2 - School location shoot and editing
Week 3- Professional photoshoot and editing
Week 4-Park (male) shooting and editing x2
Week 5- extra shots needed/editing
5) Sketching and drafting - for video-based productions this means astoryboard - sheets available in DF07 or you can print out your own AQA storyboard sheet. For print productions, this means detailed sketches of all your pages.
6) Shot list - use Microsoft Word or a template like this to help you. Remember, you need a shot list whether you are filming or carrying out a print photoshoot - professional quality original images are essential if you want to reach the top level.

7) Mise-en-scene: casting/model details, costume and make-up, props, lighting, location scouting for video productions etc. Use photographs to document and plan your mise-en-scene - using your phone is acceptable for this.
