D Day!

The deadline has arrived! You have until 3pm today to update your blog - beyond this point you should not edit, amend or add anything unless I come to you and advise you to do so in person.

You need to create a final blog post called 'Post Evaluation Production'. In this post you need to be clear about what you have done to improve your work and why. Do a mini evaluative paragraph about your final products.

Good luck and make sure if we arrange time to meet at the start of next week you are available.

Evaluation

Deadline: Wednesday 6th April

Progress Check

Please can you look at your progress so far and address any incomplete tasks by Thursday 19th March. This includes a full length, complete draft of your trailer and your poster and magazine cover too. 

Homework/ Expectations

Your February feedback will be emailed to you by Monday 9th February - I will ask Mr Love to remind you of this on Monday. Please can you read this and upload it to your blog with your comments. 

You must have the following things on your blog by Thursday 12th March:

- ALL Research and Planning tasks completed and changes made (using feedback sheets)
- A first edit of your trailer with a detailed post about how you reached this point and what you will do to complete/ improve this
- A first draft (completed) of your ancillary texts.

DVD Cover

Following on from your half term homework you need to start thinking about creating a DVD cover for your film. This may appear 'easy' but it my mind is the hardest of the three ancillary texts to produce. There are a lot of details on a DVD cover and if you miss them/ fail to pay attention to them, it is quite tricky to attain a Level 3/4 (a C grade or above).



Have a look at the post below to get started. It is vital that you do not use the same image on your ancillary texts. This show a limited effort and technical capability (and more to the point laziness on your part!)
