Attention Year 12!

I have looked over each of your blogs and i have some concerns...

Make sure all blog posts are completed and not left half-finished

Titles and Spelling
Please check spelling and ensure you give each post a clear detailed title.

Genre Research
Some of you have only 1 close analysis of a film opening sequence from your chosen genre...you need at least 5!

Variety of media
You need more than just written text, and if you upload a photo then label it and tell us why it is on your blog.

Links to production
You must make sure you are linking your genre research and audience research to your production plans.

Welldone to those of you who have done a great job of maintaining your blog. I expect that over Christmas you will all have up-to-date dazzling blogs!

So far you should have covered:

- Initial Genre Research
- Chosen FP Genre Research (analysis of 5 opening sequences)
- Initial Ideas for Opening Sequence
- Treatment
- Treatment Pitch
- Predicted Target Audience
- Audience Research (all of the methods used)
- Audience Research findings (analysis of results)
- Target Audience Profile
- Treatment (new drafts)
- Screenplay (all of the drafts)
