Digi blue recording and video editing:
This half term we have been investigating the different features involved in producing adverts. We then planned, wrote, produced and edited our own adverts for our own products based on what our group thought was the most important feature E.g. Action and music, a strong tag line (every little helps),a story, humour, persuasive language etc. Click below and see what you think...
