Drawing on the previous lectures, you will also need to provide a discussion as to why you have chosen these particular films.

From Josh's week 6 lecture we wanted you to create a fictitious news report on 'ireport.com'....

You were to upload your 'news report' to the account set up for your tute...(ask around cause it was written up on the white board, the login will be newsuploader1@gmail.com or something similar...
Make sure you also upload the same video to your blog (include the news story/caption) just in case they delete your ireport submission.
The actual news item you film can be anything you like... just shoot it on your phone or camera and upload to both spots.

And Finally before the Due date of Friday Week 10 at 5.00pm

We ask that you add to your blog some form of art that you have created. It can be previously made and you just scan or photograph it and then upload.
But keep in mind Jason's lecture on using software and 'feeling' the way through. Try something new and see what you can make. We're looking for blogs that shine.

Max 3%

I think that leaves 4% for General execution, ease of navigation, Suitable text colours/font/size for headings and body (readable, clear).

These percentage values are maximum values for perfectly presented work with interesting extra research.



Have Fun..
