• Moving on to ancillary tasks - you now have to work on your film posters and film magazine front covers. You need to decide who is going to work on which task and what roles you are going to take.

• Back to lessons the week beginning Monday 18th January 2010 so be prepared to analyse film posters with me and film magazines with Ms Burne next week.

• You also need to be thinking about these key evaluation questions all the time!

• To challenge the titles convetions I used the .com notation to ensure that people who go to see the film are aware of the marketing on the website.

• I was hoping to create elorabrate website but after talking to the teachers I realised a simple look would be better.So I uploaded a free website in order to make the teaser trailer more belieavable.

• Of course the new convention of using movienames.com or even “avatarthemovie.com is not new but I am aware of this and because it recognisable to me I am sure other film fans will search or try to find out using keywords from title of the trailer on google.
