Blogger of the Week

A key way to raise your grade is to comment analytically on all your blog posts, or to show how other products may influence your own work. Shona has done this consistently and is therefore Blogger of the Week at A2. And at AS, well done to Georgia for keeping us up to date on the amendments to her planning as she goes along. Killer blogging!

How to make fake blood

Inspired by the OCR Media Studies Conference today...
This example is peanut butter, golden syrup and red food colouring. However, mid-grade green washing up liquid with red food colouring is equally effective (although not if you want to use it for bleeding from the mouth...).

Blogger of the week

This week the prize goes to Abbie who continues to regularly post each step of the planning process. Even better, bloggers, if you upload stills or clips of your filming as you go along, so we can follow the process as your video comes together.
