Hope everyone’s enjoying Half term.
When we get back we will start Unit G321: Foundation Portfolio.
This consists of researching, planning and then producing
the opening credits to a new feature film.
Below is the details of all the documents and tasks that are
needed to be completed and the deadlines.
The first thing will be to put yourselves in groups for this
entire task. The maxinium group size is 4 and you will find it easier to be in
groups of 4 as there are a lot of tasks
to do, and the best way of doing it will be to divide tasks up equally.
