Inconsistencies between poster and film
It is possible that the title style that you used in your original film is now different to that used on your poster. Really, they should be the same style. You may need to go back to your film and alter the font style of your title if time permits, or atleast recognise this inconsistency on your blog
BLOG EVALUATION BY END OF EASTER HOLIDAY
Over Easter, you need to work on your individual evaluation of the entire portfolio for the blog. The deadline for the draft of this to appear on the blog is April 19th (first day back). In one of your lessons this week you will receive instructions for this which you must read yourselves very carefully before you start. You will need to have got some meaningful target audience feedback by the time you write it.

Sizing your film review for Little White Lies
As you are using In Design, you cna measure the dimensions of the magazine in order to accurately reflect the dimensions of the actual magazine. This will ensure that your font size accurately reflects the magazine. Ask Andy or Richard to help you. The dimensions of the magazine are 24.5 cm by 20 cm.

The final draft of your film poster
I can only feedback if the poster is uploaded on your blog.
Thus, I can't comment (Danny and Chris) at all if there is no poster on your blog. The rest of you, I have posted comments, although with some of you, you actually had older versions than I saw last week. Do ensure that you all have your completed version posted by the deadline. There is a time and date after which work cannot be accepted. We also want you to submit a Black and White version only (absolutely not colour - do not waste valuable resources). Do this as an A3 if possible. We will then be able to go to your blog for the colour version. Listen out for final instructions this week.

Feedback on the evaluations
having now marked these, a number of common factors are coming through about how you can improove these :-
1. Use your media language where appropriate - the terms associated with camerawork (angles and movement as well as shot distance), editing (how has continuity been achieved) , mise en scene (all 11 aspects) and sound. For instance, i don't think I came across the use of the word "Parallel" once to describe music matching events on screen. This distinguishes you from non media studies students, which is what you are. It also demonstrates high level skills of application.
2, Make comparisons to existing media products (seen on the film side of your course - Leigh, Loach etc)- "similar to particular scenes in films you have viewed" -this will be something to explore when you discuss your film poster. This is good practice becuase it makes links with your planning and research.
3. Refer to media theory and concepts where appropriate - for instance, some of you made references to issues about the representation of gender, audience demographics etc
4. Continually illustrate with particular scenes from your own work.
5. Be honest. Far too often, you have avoided discussing problems you had, or problems with your finished product. Don't bury your head in the sand! By admitting to these problems and, more importantly, by discussing how you overcame them or how you could have overcome them, you are demonstrating that you understand what a good product should look like and demonstrate.
6. In the section "on how successfully you have used digital technology" - be reflective and discuss what you have been able to do - How has final cut been an improvement, What have the blogs allowed you do this time round, what has garageband allowed you do?

Little White Lies Film Review
Your lessons this week have established :-
Target Audience
Layout
Language
as regards Little White Lies and Film Reviews written in this.
I would recommend that you blog selective elements of what we have done in class this week, embed links to the Magazine and Church of London, scan some reviews to illustrate layout and language.
You can then start on the exercise of writing your own review.
Stage one is to upload the basic design and the image that you intend to use.
Stage two is to start to write the article in the style of the magazine. This will require research and time!
In the meantime I will start to look at your poster's and leave comments on them for you to act on.
