WORK ON FILM AND POSTER TO DEADLINES APPROACHING

The deadline for the first draft of the poster has now passed.
The new deadlines are below - see your film and poster booklets for more details.

Deadline 2: POSTER

Editing of short film continues to deadline, plus blogged decisions and explanations (see booklet on main task)
At least 3 real poster analysed per student, using the 5 areas applied in lessons, and linked to your own process and ideas wherever possible.
Poster design continues in photoshop and indesign

Friday 18th March: short film final deadline (see main task booklet)
Sunday 20th March: first group draft of poster to appear on blog (1 per group)


Final FILM Deadline Four: FILM Editing
Final edit completed, with no further time being allocated

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
- audience feedback on the finished film (use the areas listed for questions in unit G325 to help you focus on questions to your audience) – gathered via the blog, social networking sites and other means, and recorded on the blog
- the finished film uploaded via youtube to the blog
- further research and planning for the 2 Ancillary Tasks (see later advice on this)

Friday 18th March

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.
