Axillary Texts

As part of you project you need to create two Axillary texts to help market your group.  Below you will find a powerpoint which outlines the key conventions of dig packs, websites and magazine adverts.  It also has examples - you will need to download the ppt to make the hyperlinks works.  Please start planning your Axillary text.  You can do them as a group or as individuals but they need to clearly link to your music video and each other. There is an evaluation question based on this  -     How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
You also need to start looking at examples once you have chosen which two you are going to make.  You should look at 'real' example and past student work.  Try to look at least 3 'real' and 3 student examples for each text you are going to do.

Unsupervised Lesson 27 November

By the end of today you need to have handed in draft versions of your music video and axillary texts.
Please publish your draft videos on your blogs.  If you have produced a website there should be a link on your blog to it.  If you can also make sure that your dig pack and magazine adverts are on the blog too but Miss Trimnell might also need a printed version as well.
Please make sure that the work is clearly labeled!  If you have individual blogs the work needs to on them all.
Miss Trimnell will be following any missing work next week!

Work for Friday 2 Oct

Task One - Self Assessment of Research and Planning.

On the teacher desk you will find a copy of the Marking Criteria for Research and Planning.  Using this and the Blog Checklist (also on the teachers desk).  You need to look over you blog, tick off the jobs that you have done and give yourself a mark based on the marking criteria.  You are to do a post on your blog where you record the mark you have given yourself (and be honest because you know I will....) and justify that mark.  You can talk about the tasks you have done, how well you have done then but also consider what you have not done (but should have) and how you are going to improve. Remember that I am marking your research and planning soon so if you know there are jobs to do make sure they are done by next Friday.  The storyboard will be the focus after Friday but researching should be mostly complete!

Task Two - Axillary Text Research

As you are aware you need to product two axillary texts this year.  You get to choose from website, digipack and magazine advert.  As your second task you need to look at examples of past student axillary work. For each of the three possibilities I want you to find and look at least two examples. Obviously you will find examples on the old blogs and you can also look at examples from other school. When you are looking at these examples you need to consider the following:

• What conventions do you see (what elements do all website has in common for example)?
• How have colour, images, font (style and size), logo, etc been used? Are they used effectively?
• What is the layout like? Is it effectively
• What do you like?
• What do you think does not work?

Again this needs to be done as a post on your blog

I have also left comments on your blogs about your final idea.  Please read carefully what I have written and consider it well.

Blog Checkpoint

Below you will find a list of all the work that should already be on your blog.  Take and good, hard look at your work. is it time to pick up you game and spend more time working or do you need to start stretching and extending yourself by going beyond what the teacher is asking for - what other research and planning tasks could you be doing .......

Bored of Prezi

Want to try some new technologies on your blog?
Have a read of this article for some new ideas.
There are also lots of suggestion on the Home Tab of our blog - some you have never used! (eg Voicethread, Evernote, Prezent it, Sketchfu)
Try something new this week.  Think about which technologies would best suit what purpose - don't just use it cos 'it looks pretty' or is easy.  Some of the more challenging ones are BETTER eg Glogster.
