On the group blog by the deadline below:

- frequent posts explaining the editing process, aims, techniques, decisions, choices and any reasonable difficulties experienced with technologies. Use terms wherever appropriate

Don't Forget -

- that you each need to show evidence of having researched poster design yourselves. This means providing textual analysis of at least 3 posters - 1 could be one of those we looked at in class. Use the 5 areas from the exam question 1b to frame your analysis (representation, genre, narrative, film language, audience). Make notes under each of these headings.
This is in addition to the deadline today, but can be completed over the next few days, as you firm up your decisions.
