Extra Revision Material for Audience and Institutions

As the exam approaches I will up load any resources that I find to this post.  Keep checking back to see if there is new stuff.  Other schools across the country will have done difference case studies so don't worry if you see things we have not done.  The topic is huge and all teachers will do things in different ways!

Wednesday 26th February

I am away in London today at a course so you will have to behave yourselves and get on with work.  Please sign the register and take to Debbie in the front office.

  1. In the last lesson with me you were in groups making a poster about our Case Study Films and the production cycle (Production/Distribution/Marketing/Exhibition). You have 20 mins maximum to finish this off and stick up on the wall in place of last year's ones.
  2. Evaluations have been marked and there are comments on your blogs.  Well done to Jack and Sarah who had an answer for every questions (please take a treat from the treat box!). You may spend the rest of this lesson working together on your Thriller film, making the improvements I have suggested.  You could also use the time to work on your evaluations, making the improvements I have suggested.
  3. The rest of you need to get one evaluation question finished in this lesson and have it on the blog by 4pm TODAY so I can mark it.  It is VERY disappointing that so many of you have failed to finish by the deadline set and your marks on GO reflect this.

Draft Evaluation due in on 29 Jan 

Must be on your blog! I am happy to read over scripts to check that what you plan to say is good. All class time must be on this task and you will still need to use studies and homework time in order to finish it. Remember that at this level you should be doing at least 3 hours a week OUTSIDE of class time!
