Handy Hints & Tips

1. Ensure that you have a range of drafts for both your video and ancillary texts. This MUST include a commentary of how you will improve the work. You could also include print screens of advanced skills you have developed in Photoshop since AS level.

2. For each post you should explain what your objective is. For example, why have you analysed this video, why have you set up this questionnaire and so on. The blog is a diary and should not just be treated as a place to submit your work.

3. Your posts must be in a coherent order. Start with initial analysis of existing video texts, move on onto the paper planning and audience research, then the organisation of the shoot (could be images) and then your video drafts with comments. Your final video will follow, then analysis of CD covers and adverts, original images your have taken and plan to use, photoshop skills, drafting and comments and then your final product.

4. You should carry out a final audience survey of your final products as this will assist you with both the evaluation and the exam preparation.

5. Be specific about your contribution throughout the work. It may seem clumsy to do so at times but it will help the moderator to understand the marks rewarded. If you are not specific you will not gain the marks.
