Advanced Portfolio Planning
Scriptwriting
You will need to write a script for your video. A script is not just based on dialogue. Instead it is a detailed description of every moment of your video from beginning to end.
You will need to present your script in the accepted industry format. To help you with this read the sections from Script Layout to Scene 3 on the link below. You will need to login using the MediaEdu login you have been given.
You may also find it useful to search for examples of professional scripts on the internet, and include a section of one as an example on your blog.
Storyboards
Tips on storyboarding can be found using the link below:
Your storyboard must look professional. You should use one frame for every shot in your video, and include information about shot type and length.
Shot List
You can create your shot list template. Use the example below to help you. On the shot list you should include information about the shot number, length, type, camera movement and angle, and a brief description of the action. Remember to include the working title of your production and the names of your group members.

A2 Question 1(a) Post Production
Unit G325, Section A, New Post Production Guidance, page 37:
Post production is a more ambiguous term for some media areas and thus examiners will credit
candidates’ ability to demonstrate their understanding of the term in relation to their own work through
whichever approach the centre encourages. For example, a centre may treat all manipulation of copy
and images as post production in print. For film a centre may consider post production to include
editing, sound and effects and for games design a centre may distinguish between production of the
game engine and post-production relating to sound and dialogue. The definitions of the term are at the
discretion of candidates/centres, but candidates are encouraged to explain their use of the term in
their answers in the examination to aid the examiner.
