They must include at least two on every framework above. Keep, photograph and add to blog.
  3. Activity – Using handout students can brainstorm possible topics. They must include at least two on every framework above. Keep, photograph and add to blog.
  4. Think powerpoint presentation, prezi etc. You must refer to the key items from the catalogue. This has to be explicit. Short credited quotations may be used and these are excluded from the word count.You do not have to give the presentation but as part of your preparation it could be good to do the presenation, record yourself and make sure that everything you want to say is in the script.
  5. Film can be any genre.What is a Screenplay? Hand out exampleWhat is an Extended Step Outline – emphasis that it has to be documentry
