Mr Hood's Lesson
I am not in your lesson this week, but I have arranged for you to be fully supported as you strive to complete your posters. Mrs Yates will supervise the class and Mr Clark will be available to download your iStockPhoto images and help you with any PhotoShop issues. Make the most of the time; I've told Mr Clark & Mrs Yates how well you normally work and I expect the same this week. Don't forget the following advice;
- Consider using a stroke to make your film title stand out.
- Don't forget a tagline.
- Base your credit block on a real example from an existing poster.
- Include original photography.
- Would a coloured overlay be appropriate? (like we did for the romantic practice poster). Think about the meanings of colours though. Dark blue could be used to suggest cold/isolation. Red could be used to suggest danger/love. This would probably be a final step and you would need to flatten your other layers first.
Mr Clark will also advise you on how to collect screenshots of your 'work in progress' that you can present in your portfolio as evidence of organised use of time and planning (both form part of the assessment criteria).
When Your Poster Is Finished
When your poster is finished you will need to collect some audience feedback. We have prepared a questionnaire that asks target audience members to assess your poster in terms of authenticity and creativity. You will need to collect between 7-10 responses each. The best responses will come from people who fit your target audience profile, so choose carefully. When you have finished your poster, ask us to print a copy for you to show people (or we'll take a screenshot and post on the blog). After showing friends/family/target audience members your poster, direct them to the following link;

The Evaluative Commentary
You need to start considering the Evaluative Commentary. I have produced a document to help you plan your essay and to make sure that you address every aspect of the success criteria. Mr Clark will explain how the document works and provide you with an A3 copy to write on. Take it home and complete it over half term so that you are prepared to tackle the Evaluative Commentary when we return to school. You can bring the completed planning document into the lesson. A planned response will always achieve higher marks than an 'improvised' response, so please take some time to prepare. You can download a copy of the document here too. The length of the Evaluative Commentary is likely to be between 1 & 2 pages of size 12 font writing. You will have 2 weeks (4 hours) to complete it.
Hours Missed
I am aware that many of you have hours 'in hand' due to absence. We will not be able to give you these hours back at the end of the scheduled time; you have to use it BEFORE the end. I was considering allowing you to come in during half term to make the hours up, probably on the Wednesday morning (27th May). If enough of you want to take this opportunity, we'll go ahead. Email me at hoo@gw-hs.org to let me know. I'll post the outcome!
