blogging health check

It's good to see you are keeping a production diary and interesting to read your reflections - but try and be more precise and detailed. Part of what we are trying to do with encouraging you to blog so much, is to encourage you to plan properly. What exactly do you want to achieve in your next filming session? What do you need to do to make sure this happens? Try and be really clear about this and put it down in a blog entry. Try and say exactly what went wrong, if it didn't go the way you wanted? Lighting? A lack of footage? Shaky camera? The closer you can identify what exactly has happened the easier it will be to correct it - you should try and finish your posts with a solution to any problems you mentioned. If you don't know, come and see teachers/technicians when you are back in college and discuss it with us. You can record and blog your feedback. 

Your blog entries are currently a little on the brief side - try and add some photos of some video or use other types of ICT (Prezis, emaze etc) to liven them up a bit. Also, after each session, you could write a short individual note on exactly what you did. Also, you could post re. skills development - what exactly have you learnt so far? How have your skills dveloped? You can write all this up on the blog. 

Try and get your post count up also - I'd like you to see if you can get to 40 soon. As you are going away and won't be as connected with the process, it's important you get as much done as you can right now.
