Your mark

Hi Eddie,

I have been spending time going right back through your blog to check that you have completed all posts for Ressearch & Planning sections and that you are on target to reach your predicted grade. I can see that since the last time I checked, you have invested lots more time and effort to compelte the posts that were missing, and to make sure posts are visual. This is good to see and needs to continue. Remember, each hour of lesson time in A Level means that you should do another hours worth of work at home.

You were quite distracted on Friday and I felt that you were wasting time in part of the lesson with Shehabur. Your group needed you there working with them to edit the film Eddie. As your teachers, we are watcing and making note all the time about the levels of contributions EACH group member is making to the editing of their opening sequence. We have to do this, as obviously, this is whtat the exam board wants us to do. We have to be able to say that EVERY member of the group was actively involved in editing. We should not be seeing you roaming around the room talking to other group members. You should be sat down with Emma, Jade and Tom and thinking very carefully about how you can hit the mark scheme and edit a really professional looking film that will hit the mark scheme. If we see that group members have not made an equal contribution to the editing process, we have to mark accordingly. Basically, the members of the group that do all the editing, will obviously get the higher grades for the final film. Please keep this advice in mind Eddie in your lessons.

Here is your current mark for the blog (Research & Planning)

Current mark: 13/20
Level: 3
Grade: C

To improve:

Please go back through every post and thoroughly check all spelling, use of capital, punctuation, etc. Some writtin posts seems rushed. There are currently too many errors in your use of basic capital letters, spelling, even getting the correct name for movie titles (Double Indemnity). In A Level, it's got to be spot on. This is also part of the marking criteria and an easy aspect of your blog to improve and increase your grade.

Check that all posts have the correct lables (don't make up your own). Use the checklist we gave you to make sure all posts have the label we want.

Research - your 'Locations' posts has pics, but needs explanation
Wallander - still no contact sheet

Planning:
Shot list - use the correct school template I email to you about 3 weeks ago.
