Moderator - Links to the AS G321 and A2 G324 Media Blogs

Dear Moderator
We run a  combined 6th form college: The Vale Academy 44304 and Sir John Nelthorpe 44303. I have indicated which student belongs to which centre.


A2 G324 Advanced Production blogs.

There are two groups.  There are 4 candidates in total.
All students work: Final products & planning, construction and evaluation is on the blog however, discs have been burnt and sent containing better quality copies. For A2, the disc comprises the final music videos/ documentary & ancillary tasks: students also wanted to include the merchandise they created; though this was additional to the brief they enjoyed the creation of a promotional package so much they chose to make additional products. For AS, the final pages of the magazines are on a disc as well as the blogs. The disc contains jpgs of better quality.
