Deadline now closed

Thank you to all students who have completed their coursework.

I have looked at everyone's blogs and can now mark fairly and accurately across both groups.  Some blogs looked unpublished and I was unable to find finished sequences and evaluations. I have had to mark them as incomplete.

If this is through no fault of your own, please contact me no later than 8.30am on Tuesday so that I can give mr Gourley accurate marks and data.

Thanks
Mr Mayers

G321 - The Evaluation

For those of you who didn't feel it necessary to concentrate whilst I talked through this evaluation, please find the embedded powerpoint here:




Please note, you have three weeks in which to complete this evaluation.  It is worth 20 marks (20% - two grades) of your final coursework.

Do a bad job of your evaluation and it will make the rest of your coursework look bad.  Moderators usually look at the evaluations first, or after watching your final product.  If they are not convinced by either, then they will scrutinize your research and planning materials in more detail.

You will present your film openings and talk through your evaluation during the last week this term.

Construction and First Draft Completion

By the end of Friday 7th March I would like to see your first cut available to view online and published on your blog with some reflection.

You have been emailed ASSESSED PIECE 8 and ASSESSED PIECE 9 planning sheets and also given them in class to help you complete your coursework and get your blogs up to date.

There are a record number of Entries this June because there is no longer a January entry, therefore moderators will see a wide range of excellent practice.  Make yours stand out.  If you're too embarrassed to share your blog and video with friends and family, then you obviously haven't taken enough care and effort, so you need to fix this in the next three weeks.

Some useful links to keep you going:

There is some examiner commentary around on the website and you can see what they say about planning and research content and even look at some more blogs.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU ALL READ THIS!
