Blogger of the Week

Dear Bloggers, winner this week at A2 is Lizzy for updating her exam blog with some fantastic analysis of the representation of women and men in lifestyle magazines. It was worth that afternoon in WHSmith and all those perfume samples!

In Year 12, joint winners are Grace and Lauren M for blogging so enthusiastically and reaching 35 posts! A close runner-up is Isadora for posting a fantastic six times this week. Blog on!

Well done to Jess this week at A2 for re-jigging her whole blog to suit her new film idea. It's all coming together now! And also at AS to Lauren Beer, who posted no fewer than EIGHT times last night in a desperate (but successful) bid to win the chocolate this week. Blog on!

Well done to Lauren M for keeping up with the blogging tasks and posting great-quality information. And congratulations to CP for blogging the concept images for her characters. Keep up the good work, everyone. Coursework is worth 50% and your 20 marks for Research and Planning are easily won if you keep your blog posts up to date.

Career Options

Dear Bloggers,

If you're interested in a career in film or the creative industries, it's worth taking a look at Skillset at http://creativeskillset.org/who_we_help/young_creative_talent. They have lots of information, advice and training available, and a personality test you can take to see what sort of job might suit you.

Calling all film buffs...

Don't miss the new series of 'Cinema's Secret History' on BBC Radio 4 starting tomorrow (16th November) but of course available on BBC iPlayer. See the website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b083vsj4/episodes/guide. The first episode is about The Script Supervisor.

Congratulations to Lizzy for the second week running at A2 for keeping her exam blog up to date with a post on theorist Judith Butler.

And well done to Grace in Year 12, who did two really great PowerPoint presentations on Slideshare on key camera shots and conventions of romantic crime, plus an informative post on iconic sounds in the romantic crime genre. Great progress!

Midweek Blogger Prize

After a quiet half term holiday, the blogsophere has been buzzing this week, so much so that at A2 we have had to insert a one-off  Midweek Blogger Prize awarded jointly to Jess and Lizzy for creating new exam blogs and writing posts on Todorov, Propp, Levi-Strauss and Barthes after yesterday's lesson. Blogtastic!

Blogger of the Week

Welcome to the new half term, Bloggers. The blogsphere has been quite quiet over the half term holiday, but joint AS winners are Isadora and Kathryn, who both blogged a film review connected to their chosen genre. Blog it up, everyone!
