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!)
