Bloggers of the week

…go this week at A2 to Abbie, who has an impressive 59 posts so far and is the most up-to-date with her blogging; and at AS to Emily, for keeping bang up to date with the tasks.

Please remember to add labels and label your blog posts appropriately. Ideal labels are: Camera Work, Editing, Mise En Scene, Audience Research, Planning, Construction, Sound, Research. These are all relevant to specific areas of your marking criteria and make it easy for a moderator to navigate your blog and see how much work you have done in each area. That means, label carefully, too, and don't add a label, say, to a nine-frame analysis to add that to audience research, when it's clearly not! This also means it's easy for you to see if you've neglected any areas in your planning, particularly audience research.

How to label your post

Here's how to do it: 1. Decide on your label 2. Click on the label icon at the top of the toolbar 3. Label your post You can also do this to past posts by going into design, ticking the box on the left to select posts, then selecting the label icon.

Problems uploading video?

We've all been having problems uploading video to our blogs. One thing I've not tried before worked today - filmed this on my iPad, then selected the option to email it. This compressed the video, I downloaded the email to my laptop, and it has uploaded quite easily. Worth a try, all of you, as another way to upload your videos to your blog.

Dating your blog posts

To keep the sense of a journey through your  coursework, you can edit and change the dates of your posts. Go to design - posts - edit post - click on the clock icon on the right hand side and a calendar appears; then you can choose a date on the calendar to replace your post at any previous date that fits in with your planning.
