PLANNING: TRELLO

I have created a Trello account which is a very useful organizational online tool so that I know what I have done and what needs to be done. It helps me keep track of my work and what I am doing. 

Below is a screen shot of my Trello which I will update as I work.

SEPTEMBER CHECKLIST

PREP: Three tasks by Monday, please. You can use the class blog and those of previous students for guidance.

NEXT PREPS: (in case you wish to get ahead) Ensure that you have posted them on your blog.
set Monday (for Tuesday): Read up about Disney (one of the Big Six) and familiarize yourself with some of their products, in order to support your response to the exam question on the film industry that we discussed in class today.
set Tuesday (for Wednesday): Find out how to use Emaze and complete 4th analysis of a film opening, with illustration, using The Art of the Title site
set Wednesday (for Thursday): Now that you have researched how film opening sequences work, you can summarize your knowledge of this genre's codes and conventions. You sign up for Piktochart and organize your learning about film openings into a Piktochart. Title: Film Openings Codes & Conventions.

SIXTH FORM REVIEWS Your forthcoming grade will be based on

• your oral work

• written work such as The Night Manager and Hustle

• your blog work (see Trello list): we aim to complete September tasks by half term!

Today, create a Trello. Screenshot it and make a post on your blog. Title of post: PLANNING: TRELLO

Start to use the Trello and take another screenshot. Update the blogpost with the second screenshot.
