The Task

For the Advanced Portfolio, you will be required to work in a group of 2 or 3, on a portfolio of work that uses two or more media.  You will produce a main text, using video, and two ancillary texts, using print.  For the short film option, you will work on

• An original short film in its entirety, which may be live action or animated or a combination of both (maximum 5 minutes). 

This will be accompanied by

• a poster for the film
• a film magazine review page featuring the film

You will produce the video artefact first of all.

Alongside your production work, you will also be producing a blog in which you regularly reflect on your progress, and which will be used for the presentation and submission of the coursework project.  You will be required to blog at least twice a week and those students achieving higher grades will blog more often.
