ASSIGNMENT 1

We are almost there.

You have worked really hard and there has been some excellent work completed so far. However, not everything has been finished to the standard we hoped for and we will look at making improvements to this in the new year.

First week back we will audit Assignment 1a and b to see what we have completed and what we don't. Anyone missing work will need to come to a catchup session on Wednesday 16th January after school.

TUESDAY 2ND OCTOBER

Well done everyone for your hard work today in Media. I was impressed with some of your editing and clearly some shots were successful. The next step for all of you which we will be looking at on Friday is evaluating your work.

So, in advance think about what your group did well, what you could have improved and how you might do things differently next time.

TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
Yr10 GCSE Media Wk4

For those of you who had some trouble with the homework and who DON'T want to get detention please can you look below and ensure that you have completed this by Friday.
  1. Find a photograph you like - either from the web or one of your own (must not have you in it)
  2. Make sure the photo is on your computer save ideally as a JPEG (thats a picture format) somewhere which is easy to find like the desk top
  3. Open up blogger and login
  4. Create a new POST
  5. CLick the Compose button top left (just under the title of you blog)
  6. Then click the image button - it is between the Link button and the Film button (which looks like a movie clapperboard)
  7. A new box will appear and you must elect the image you want to upload - choose the one you saved to the desk top and ADD SELECTED - it will then appear in your BLOG POST.
  8. Move it to where you want it and write about it.
I hope that is clear. It is really quite easy once you know how.
