THIS is an example of an excellent AS blog. If you look at the range of technology employed you'll notice that we are encouraging you to do more than these students have. What technology can't do however is hide any lack of effort or knowledge. Planning (aka preproduction) is essential, you cannot take short cuts or assume it will all turn out fine in the end. Nothing has been left to chance, they check weather forecasts, create animatics, analyse other film openings, recreate other film openings, describe their target audience by creating profiles, produce rough cuts of their film and get feedback from their peers which informs future decisions, spend 12 HOURS filming in one day, work in their spare time over half term. I could go on.
There is no excuse for not having an exemplary blog, this is one area where all students can achieve top grades and where time is not an issue. EVERY member of TEAM FORD is expected to have a C grade blog at worst.
Finally this blog also demonstrates how all areas of the course are intertwined, their practical is clearly based on representation issues (specifically youth) as well as some of the theory you have covered (narrative).
