Planning posts - checking your progress Oct 16th SJA

www:

• The planning posts on 'Initial Ideas' and job roles show effort and some imaiginative use of ICT to present and communicate ideas.
• The use of short iMovie to communicate your 'initial ideas' is really effective. I think you also did something similiar for your post on 'Image Annotation' - but there seems to be a copyright bar on this now - so you will have to come back and re-think how to present your ideas.
• I thought your practice CD cover on photoshop looked really good - you selected an excellent photograph that seemed really suited to the idea of 'artist' and similiar representations in this genre. The font choice also worked really well with the simplicity of your image, as did the sepia effect. Nice work on this.

ebi:

• I am quite concerned at how many posts are missing from 'Planning' so far Brittany? I thought you had been busy working on this??
• You obviously need to come back to the post on 'Technical tutorials' - and upload your greeenscreen / final cut work to this.
• Lyrics post has the lyrics, but nothing else?? You need to sit down with Charlotte and a print out of the lyrics and really thoroughly annotate every line to show your thoughts and ideas (where do you plan to shoot scenes? How will you communicate the narrative? Specific camera shots / ideas you want to incorporate?) Posts on 'Song Details', 'Lyrics' and 'Concept' all need more work.
• Where is your photoshop work for the advert planning / ideas? This needs to be there. You also need to provide written explanation about your ideas / thinking behind the image of Jade you used for the CD cover design practice task. Please don't just upload an image without any explanation Charlotte.

Planning progress so far: IN (Improvement Needed) - you know you have work to catch up on Brittany. I know it will end up looking amazing, but try to stay on top of it to avoid putting yourself through all the grief of last minute rushing. To reach the top of Level 4 (which is what you are certainly aiming for) you really need to show creativity, innovation, imagination and ICT technical flair for every post. The 'Planning' section of your blog really should provide you with loads of opportunities to demonstrate all of these things.
