'MULTIMEDIA'???

The term multimedia is used frequently in discussing how/what to blog to get into the high marks band. You're partially marked on the 'level of care in the presentation' and 'use of ICT' within your blogs. What does this mean? Multimedia = a combination of images, hyperlinks, podcasts, videos, vodcasts, links lists and other blog tools, use of Facebook/YouTube et al for audience feedback/research/marketing etc. Level of care means taking time to appropriately illustrate posts, find useful hyperlinks to include [generally make a phrase into a hyperlink; don't just type 'here is a link:'!], and checking your links work, images have been properly embedded (always: save and upload, never copy/paste or drag in), posts don't have massive gaps/white space (if you place a lot of images in a post it can take some tweaking!). I try to apply these principles. Make your blogs at least as good as this one!

FINAL DEADLINES

I'll put these up in F6 for your reference should you forget, but they are as follows:

(COMPLETE) ROUGH CUT, BLOG FULLY UPDATED:
- MONDAY, 7TH DECEMBER

DRAFT ANCILLARY TEXTS, RESEARCH COMPLETE:
- WEDNESDAY, 9TH DECEMBER

FINAL FILM, BURNED ON DVD + UPLOADED ON BLOG:
- MONDAY, 14TH DECEMBER

DRAFT EVALUATION, HANDED IN + ON BLOG:
- THURSDAY, 17TH DECEMBER

FINAL BLOG, EVALUATION:
- TUESDAY, 5TH JANUARY

Thats a lot to squeeze in, which is why last friday was the preferred date for finalising shooting. I'll review the blog requirements and photocopy a complete checklist shortly, but its vital, to safeguard your marks for Research and Planning, that you can evidence:
  • thorough research into the codes and conventions of the format (SF/TT; film mags; posters) and genre/s ... with frequent, detailed and specific references to actual media texts
  • frequent audience feedback
  • use of a variety of new media (podcasts, YouTube etc)
  • meticulous, detailed planning prior to shooting: storyboards, screenplays, shotlists, drafts, production schedule - you need to upload some footage that you shot but rejected; as you're designing poster/mag, keep saving (as draft 1 etc) to show evidence of the changes you made
  • additional points were made previously
  • even if you only set aside a couple of hours to do what you can, I'd suggest you scour back through as much of this blog - and the British Cinema blog - as you can, as you'll find a lot of info, resources and analysis that you can use for your blogs!!!
