Reminder

Just to remind you all this is the pre-summer work;

 

• Research different blog sites and styles of blogs.
• This will not take long – you used blogs last year and know what you need - blogger/blogspot is very reliable, wix is a bit flash but temperamental, Wordpress doesn’t work on the Macs but is fine on other PCs. You can use the same platform or even the same blog as last year.
• If using the same blog address, archive your year 12 work Set up your blog and get the address to me – you have until the end of term to do this. 
• First entry: statement of intent; who you are, what you are doing, what you did for last year’s coursework, what you hope to achieve through the project? 
• Invite classmates to follow you – this will help you gather evidence of audience feedback 
• What do existing texts in your chosen area look like?
• What elements make up a typical example?
• Do some research and add it to your blog as a short post
• Come up with an idea: NOT just for a your main task, but for the whole package
• Post your initial thoughts on your blog – you can always change them later.

 

This all needs to be done before the summer - DEADLINE 19th July.

Thursday 6th July

I am not in today to teach you period 5. You do not have a cover teacher because I do not want you in a classroom. I would like you to go out and do some filming. Play around with techniques and shot types, think of a director/auteur and try to emulate their style. Most importantly, have fun with it.

I will look at what you have got next lesson.

Apologies for missing another lesson guys.
