The students are in the depths of their main productions now, so it's a good time to give you an idea of the sort of work they're producing. Two weeks ago was their biggest task to date, and the options were either to cover an event, or to make a sock drama parody. Here're some of the results:
Covering an event
The first of these was very interesting, because it's hard to pin down. The music is very well chosen and something about the blend of natural sound gives it an air of childhood wonder to me. The second is a good demonstration of the use of titles to move a narrative along, and the final one was a very interesting and personal piece showing that sometimes handheld camera is just spot-on.
Sock puppet parody
This option provided some real play time, and these three show off different techniques for producing drama without the trouble and expense of hiring actors (although the voice acting was superb). The first two are remakes of scenes from feature films with a few twists (look out for the water skier in the second), while the third is a parody that uses the format of a daytime TV show to have some fun.
