Feedback on Research & Planning

Hi Amy,

I have just been right back through all posts in your blog to check to see whether you have responded to the last set of feedback and advice I gave you about how and where your posts need to improve. I can see that you have made some good effort to improve posts on Brick and Wallander. This is good to see you investing time in improving your A Level grade - but more effort is needed before I mark the blog for a final time.

Your blog is disorganised, and you need to make sure you have set up all the correct labels and clearly titled each post as per the checklist we gave you (it's also on Frog) - You need to follow this checklist carefully. I really don't need to see any additional posts that we haven't set - stick to making sure you complete ALL of the posts we set out for you in the checklist - and completing them properly.

I will be marking the Research & planning sections for a FINAL time from monday 7th feb. So, you need to be busy between now and them completing the following:

Research Section:
Post 1 - check this is done and proffread
3 ? Missing
4 - read my comment about this - you spent a lesson with JIN going through the job roles in films - you need to take your notes and sort this post out properly
5-6 - Memento analysis is not up to standard to gain a C grade. It's brief and vague. Fix this
8 - brick - read my comment and make an effort to address this feedback to improve
14 - Conventions of your genre - make this a visual post by creating a collage of screen shots of a range of films from your genre. Use the BLOG to SHOW rather than tell about the conventions.
16 - Read my comments about this post
17 - Questionnaire - read my comments and upload the proper questionnaire
18 - Good to see you have done the graphs, but they don't really say much?? Explain HOW you intend to use the feedback.

Planning:
Too many posts missing (we have spent 3 weeks working on this now). I have a feeling that you are simply not investing enough time at home or in frees working on completing your blog posts.
You need to complete ALL planning posts by Monday 7th
Post 5 - Storyboards - I can see you have tried to upload - double check this as they are not appearing on your blog - you need to sort this out
8 - Shooting scedule - looks good so far - but I doubt that you only went out to shoot twice?
9-10 - Needs photos and also a description of Charlotte's character for post 10

The other posts I have not mentioned need to be completed also.

You and your group should have a lot of potential. You are all capable, and have come up with a great idea. The main advice I would suggest is that you are not working hard enough on your blog. it's your coursework Amy. Each hour in class should really generate an hours's worth of additional work either at home, or in free periods. You are not investing this at the moment, and it shows in your blog.
