Are you up to date to begin filming 31st January?


You'll notice that I'm now including the production checklist. At this stage we ALL should have moved onto production and have completed the research and planning stage. Well done George and Annabel for hitting deadlines. As for the rest of you...

27th January Are you up to date?

Get on with it!!

Magazine advert and CD Packaging audience testing

After you have finished your drafts/rough cuts please upload these for audience testing and get feedback to enable you to redraft for your real products.
As with your iMovie rough cut, post your Magazine advert and CD packaging on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or even youtube to get audience feedback.

Put a screenshot of the audience feedback and then evaluate what you need to change regarding your drafts/rough cuts in order to improve your final products.

CD and Magazine Layout

For this task you need to mock up a draft version/rough version of your magazine advert and your CD packaging using Photoshop and Pages/inDesign. Please use mock up photos using real images if possible. If you haven't got around to that stage yet, then use images from the internet.


Photoshop and Pages/InDesign Learning

You need to create two separate posts explaining what you have learnt using Photoshop and Pages or inDesign. Just like your post on iMovie, you need to add screenshots to outline what you have learnt and why you are using particular effects for your products.

Make sure that you watch:

What's next?

As soon as you have finished the research and planning stage, which will by the end of this week, we will move onto the production stage.
Remember this is where 60% of your marks come from!
I will expect to see evidence that you are working on production from next week.
