Work notes for finishing

I've been reading through your blogs as you approach the deadline and have noticed a few things you all still need to fix (well, most of you!).

LABELS - they MUST be on your blog, on posts and by adding a gadget.

1. This must be visible near the top of your page.
2. Labels can be detailed or represent 'overviews'. If you have lots of detailed labels, please add some 'overview' labels for the purpose of marking and examination.
3. Use the headings on the feedback sheet Mr P and I used last week to feedback to you - 'Audience Research' 'Opening Sequence Analysis' 'Costume' etc etc.
4. We (and the examiner) need to be able to find your work quickly.

If you can't remember how to add labels or have ANY problems, ask NOW so we can help you before the deadline and it's too late!

Please note with your video:

GET APPROVAL FOR YOUR OVERALL SEQUENCE BEFORE ADDING ANY MUSIC OR TITLES PLEASE

Marking - what we're looking for...

Here's a link the the pre-final mark sheet we use. It shows you how we are grouping ideas and areas together. When we mark we don't look at individual posts but 'areas' you should have covered.

Use this sheet to see what you should do and use the support/advice you have been given to make sure it's all done this week.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure your LABELS are working as this is how we and the examiners will search your content to give you marks. If stuff isn't labelled correctly it may not get included in the marking. Better to have too many labels than not enough!

Also make sure you can link between the main blog, your group blog and every individual blog in your group from EVERY blog you have.
