Group and Individual Blogs and what you should be blogging now

GROUP BLOGS

On your group blogs, write all the things about the production. It is a DIARY and a LOG rather than an academic exercise so unlike the posts you have been doing by now which have been largely set by us, you now need to blog you own progress through the production stages.

So for a Level 4 Individual Blog

1. Regular postings and updates, with no long gaps between them (unless these are explained)

2. Ongoing evidence of individual research, analysis, theory and ideas 

3. Ongoing evidence of development, change and progress including diary style summaries of your individual contribution to the project as a whole

4. Ongoing reflections/ thoughts/comments on the progress of the group project

5. Communication between you, the teachers and the group

6. Links to the main blog, the group members blogs, group blog

7. Labelling of posts, using a labels list

8. List of links to external websites you have found useful/inspirational

9. Availability of the correct tools for editing posts, browsing etc

10 Your own unique blog style to represent you as a media student/music consumer

So for a Level 4 Group Blog 

1. Regular postings and updates, with no long gaps between them (unless these are explained)

2. Ongoing evidence of group work as specified in the coursework tasks, relating to research, planning, production and follow up tasks including inspirational links, actor and location photos, inspirational videos and tracks, video clips of test shots, plans, schedules, shot lists, storyboards, shot logs, feedback etc

3. Ongoing evidence of development, change and progress including diary style summaries of your ongoing progress as a group

4. Proper headings to posts, and named posts, including group posts

5. Lots of communication between the various group members, with regular posts from all group members, including reactions/suggestions/new ideas/arrangements and so on

6. Links to the main blog, and the group members blogs

7. A link to the final music video, Digipack cover*, and Myspace* (Web page) or Advert* (*whichever you 2 chose)

8. Thorough labelling of posts, using a labels list. Use labels to identify who posted what. All posts should also be labelled as either research, planning, reflections, production, post-production or follow up. As well as identifying the various stages, use labels such as genre, audience, narrative, structure, form, style, branding etc to identify the concepts being covered in the post.

9. Availability of the correct tools for editing posts, browsing etc

10 Your own blog style/ blog name (your group number must still be obvious) to represent you as a group, including a happy group photo!
