Blog Feedback - March

Year 12,

Some good progress in areas, but still a way to go for some of you. Please read my comments below and remember to post entries relating to the filming/production process - include stills/videos of you on the set.

Next review will be in two weeks' time.

REMINDER: The deadline for your finished film is our first lesson back after half term - THURSDAY 24th APRIL.

Rhiannon
As always, great job. The posts for the production process are excellent!
Dan
The production stills of the filming are great! Make sure you add that edit of the film Rhiannon has posted on hers. You still need to show some more evidence of research. Try using a mix of media formats as well.
 
Research:
-          Explain how your analysis has helped you identify the codes and conventions typical of your genre (how this has helped influence your script/ideas)
-          Inspiring films/directors
Production:
-          Storyboard
-          Film schedule

Great work – everything is up-to-date. I would like to see some stills/videos from your production days, with a diary-esque post to accompany it with what worked well/any problems you encountered.
Luke
The quality of your posts is excellent! The addition of the images really adds to the posts as it highlights in detail the elements you’re referring to. There’s still a lot to do, but I am happy that you are working on this at a good pace.
