A good 6 weeks into this process, there are too many blogs evidencing too little work/progress!!!.When the exam board come to verify the marking, they rely on your blog to see if your work deserves the mark it was given. The blog is intended as an up-to-date, essentially live record of what you've done/are planning to do, and the 20% for Research and Planning, as well as part of the marking on the production (60%) is at stake here.
According to much of what I'm seeing, many of you have not developed an individual idea, have not created an animatic, have not settled on a final idea, have not done any research into the codes and conventions etc etcYou also need to make sure your blog is named 'Forename Surname's A2 Production' (you can change this by clicking Customise). When I'm looking at your blog named 'Media work' I can't readily see whose it is.
Your blog MUST be set to accept followers. I need to be able to follow it, and if you're in a group so does your colleague.Check the time is set to GMT-London (it is set to an American time by default).
Try to make use of the ability to add link lists etc (customise - add a gadget).
When you're providing a link, use the link tool in the post editor to make this a clickable link when someone reads your blog.
Dumping Word docs into posts does not make for a good blog either, Mr CB! There should be few occasions when its necessary to include a doc uploaded to Scribd (screenplay, storyboards perhaps)
Every post should really have some graphical content; the updates to blogger mean that you can now customise the size and positioning of an image much more than you could last year.Most of you impressed with your blogs last year, so lets not drop the standard when it actually has to rise to meet the challenge of A2!!!
