Frankie, some thoughts on your project and blog so far;
The blog is a too cluttered with irrelevant ‘staff’ postings. Can you delete these so that followers of your blog can see your reflections only? AO 1 demands ‘clarity’.
Your blog is the vehicle for your Activity Log. It is important that you tell the story of the project. You need to include all details from today’s session, not just the...

Muntasir, some thoughts on your project and blog so far.
You have clearly posted your Project Proposal form. The main question though is not clear- you need to change this to something like, ” Can I make a film using ……..”. Whatever te wording, the proposal must be in the form of a question.
Can you include some more images n your blog/ They help to illustrate your work.

Tape Log
Firstly I interviewed one of my fellow classmates Craig, asking him his opinions on which world cup he prefers and also the world cup he follows. Like nearly everyone else Craig chose the football world cup. I asked him what he thinks about the world cup overall and which team he thinks will win it this year.

Some thoughts on your project and blog so far.
AO 1 Your Project Proposal document which you have completed, has not been included in your blog. You could scan the hard copy in to save time.
Activity log - your blog posts are clear but you could enhance clarity by giving them dates and titles that show how they fit into an overall plan.
More images to illustrate your text would liven up your...

Despite coming late to todays to todays lesson due to my exam back in school,I managed to complete the tasks set. I arrived to todays lesson at breaktime which meant I was steps behind from the work set before break. After break I was set a task which was to configure my documentary. I was fairly happy because it meant I was not behind from the work set earlier.

15th June last task
At the end of todays lesson, I and my group members were faced with an experiencing task of interviewing a member of staff of the school. This was a challenging task for me because I have never interviewed an adult and to be able to achieve this was a big confidence boost. I was the interviewer, Osasu was the Cameraman and Manuel was the sound operator.
Tuesday 15th June 2010
Half way through the lesson myself, Osasu and Manuel worked together as a group as we had to come up with at least three ideas each of what our documentary will be based on. I came up with three ideas which were ‘Looking at the different cultures and religion’, Looking at what people think of the World Cups (Rugby, Cricket, Football) and ‘Which types of movie genres people enjoy....

So we had a practice session in order to tutor ourselves on how a filming process begins and what parts are needed. We took part in an interview session where...

Monday 7th June 2010
In my first lesson back after the half term , I was told that I had moved onto a new project. A different project that is completely separate from my previous units. The project is a filming project aimed to match the same principles as to a documentary. As the lesson began I and my fellow pupils had the pleasure to introduce ourselves to our new teachers who will help us with our filming...
