The deadline for your portfolio piece is Wednesday 31st March. This may sound like ages away but it isn't.
A deadline is just that - a DEAD LINE - if you don't meet it you are dead!
There is so much to do. don't be lulled into a false sense of security. You need to keep working every lesson and in your 'free' periods and at home.
There will always be problems - frozen computers, trips to New York, cats dying but this doesn't mean extensions. The deadline is the same for all students, no exceptions. We have the evaluations to complete after this and that is a complex task requiring application.
Get thinking and planning.

What you have to do by Monday 8th March
You have already analysed the covers of two weekly music magazines.
We have moved on to look at the specific ways in which monthly magazines target their audiences. We are examining how genre might affect style and looking at stereotypical conventions used in the construction of the magazine.
You should post:
An analysis of the cover of a monthly magazine (images on shared area)
A 100 word audience profile connected to a specific magazine
The answers to the questions on the handout - 'Inside the magazine'
I would recommend you use three different monthly magazines for these tasks (good overview).

DISAPPOINTMENT
I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I am with some of you! How can you consider Media as an A Level choice when you don't meet deadlines and complete the work in hand? I'm lost for words.

Preliminary Task
I want to see how well you work independently. You have until next Wednesday (10th) to complete your preliminary task. This is the cover and contents page of a school/college magazine (St Mark's).
The key is planning - don't just take snaps. Your images need to be linked to your cover lines and these in turn need to be selected for your target audience. (could be 6th form, Y11, whole school) all need to be carefully planned.
Remember to set up your shots - selecting mise en scene and framing the shot. You must include a medium close up of a student but the others are your choice.
think carefully about contents page. They can be bland if you don't plan.
You also need to complete all class and homework before the deadline.
