(I get an email notification when you do this and I will be able to check your work!)

SECTION B:

1. Select a film produced by Twentieth Century Fox for exhibition in the UK (www.foxmovies.com)

2. Research the many different ways it is brought to the attention of an audience through the use of other media companies associated with Fox and News Corporation. Remember, bad publicity is often as useful as good publicity.

3: Also consider what additional tie-ins are used to promote the film, for example, links with fast-food chains, toy companies, mobile phone companies and/ or computer game manufacturers. Post all your research on your blog.

4. Prepare a visually creative 3 minute powerpoint presentaton about your findings to present to the class.

5: Save your slides as images (You press cmd/shift/3 to take a print screen on a Mac computer)  - CROP them and upload to your blog post

 6: Once you have finished - write another "Completed" as a comment to this post!

Under no circumstances is any of this work to be left undone - If you get stuck, FIND a WAY around it! I expect that this work is all completed by the end of your Lesson Today!  If I do not get two "Completed" from you, and do not see the quality results on your blogs, I'm afraid you will have some serious explaining to do - in CCC
