In your folders you have a printout of the Foundation
Portfolio guide – please read though this. I have also previously emailed this
out with a password to download (you should be saving my emails in a ‘Mrs Raji’
folder in your email inbox!)
In your folders you also have a Foundation Portfolio tick
list (this goes with the guide) – before you can film anything you need to
complete research and planning tasks these are worth 20 marks and therefore 20%
of your grade. It’s very important that these are completed, the level to which
you complete these tasks will have an effect on how much out of 20 you get for completing
them.
MOST IMPORTANTLY WHEN
COMPLETING RESEARCH TASKS YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE LOOKING FOR INSPIRATION –
Think to yourself how can I use this research to create my opening title
sequence?
For Christmas homework you need to complete some research evidence.
Below I am going to provide you with specific tasks to help you complete some
of the Research Tasks. Also watch the YouTube videos.

Create a new post on your blog called ‘The Art

the conventions of the genre you want to work in. PLEASE SEE SLIDE 12 of your
guide on how to complete this task.
General research into title sequences (codes,
conventions, purpose)
you will need slide 13 of your guide to help you with
this. Conduct some mini research into title sequences (don’t stick to the genre
you want to work in!). Try and cover a mix of old and new, you notes can be
bullet pointed just refer to the bullet points on slide 13 when discussing your
chosen title sequences - look at the following links for inspiration. (Blog
post title ‘Title Sequence Research: [INSERT FILM NAME] – label ‘Reaserch) Do a new post
for each film.

For example they can be used as a prologue much
like the titles for The Incredible Hulk (2008) http://www.artofthetitle.com/2009/05/18/the-incredible-hulk/
