NEA 30 hours - March 2019
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- K: The requirements for each of the briefs set by OCR.
- U: How to approach the chosen brief, including writing the statement of intent.
- BAT: Choose a brief and start planning what to write in the statement of intent.
- CO: Use media terminology (all areas of the theoretical framework) in your written and verbal communication.
---------------------------------
TASK 2 - Create a new post, copy and paste the Learning Objectives onto it... You need to title the new post "NEA BRIEFS".
--------------------------------
TASK 3 - Read through the brief and select ONE... write a short paragraph as why you chose it. Make sure you include the following information in your explanation as well:
- What skills do you already have that can help you produce your chosen media texts?
- What skills do you intend to develop whilst working on your media texts?
Be specific about the skills - don't just write "Photoshop skills", make reference to specific skills from Photoshop that you either know or want to develop.
Make sure you choose your brief well, read ALL the information and requirements to make sure you fully understand what's required.
Further guidance:
- You must not reproduce an existing media product or brand.
- Group productions are not permitted but you can use your friends and others to act in, or appear in, the media production. In addition, unassessed learners and others may operate lighting, sound, recording and other equipment under your direction if required.
- To make it simple... these briefs are individual. You can use other people to help you but make sure you end up doing all the technical tasks (photography, filming, editing, etc). You're NOT required to be in-front of the camera in your own production.
I would like to make my NEA about breif 1. This because with the other briefs I don't have A lot of editing skills or video software. Furthermore, with that in mind I think that it would be easier to do the magazine than recording with bad
