Screening…. . • In order to expand your skills and knowledge on how to produce productions we will have ‘viewing’ sessions throughout the year. • These viewings will link to your productions and focus on editing / camerawork / script development / character development / interview techniques / sound production / mise-en-scene etc. . • Each production we watch you will be required to make notes on the different aspects / skills and those who want to do well will then find out how it’s done in your own time. This forms part of your homework and self study time a week. • Make sure you have a tab for these viewings with notes and proof of skill development
