Create a revision blog

I think this is brilliant idea to help you organise your thoughts and my posts into your own revision blog.  I get LOADS of grief/advise on how to arrange the course blog, unfortunately because of a bug I am unable to create a link list to the theorists (live with it).  In this lesson you are to create your own blog and arrange it the way you want.  You can:

• add the theorists to the correct sections
• add your own notes
• add images
• copy my links

Ideally you should end up with 3 sections:

• Question 1a
• Question 1b
• Media In The Online Age

Question 1A

In this question you need to address the years of the course and what you have learnt.

You may be asked to talk about one of the following areas:

• Digital technology
• Post production
• Research and planning
• Creativity
• Conventions of real media

Make a list of all the ways you have used each of these areas in the making of both your courseworks. In the exam you also need to evaluate these so you should also note down any issues you found during your coursework and how you overcame them.  You also need to show progression so you should show how you did things better in A2 over AS.

Some of the areas of the questions can overlap, for example; in a question about Digital technology, you will discuss the fact that you used digital cameras to record your film, but you will also say that you used 'google forms' to complete research.  You will talk about 'google forms' in a research and planning question too.
