- 5. Other tips Between posts, leave empty posts that are saved as drafts. This will allow you to add material later, if you miss something out, without changing the order of your posts or doing things out of sequence. CHECK SPELLING AND GRAMMAR AS YOU GO; THIS WILL SAVE YOU DOING IT LATER. DON’T RESEARCH UNREALSITIC IDEAS – IF THERE’S NO CHANCE YOU CAN USE THEM, THERE’S NO POINT ANALYSING THEM!
- 6. Research… This time, you have three things to research and analyse (video, cover, poster). Two approaches Take them in turn (start with covers, then posters, then videos). Reserch digipacks – a video and a cover/poster that goes with it. This will allow you to explore intertextuality. Also consider case studies of bands to explore their material and how it works/links together (case studies would be good as powerpoints…)
