"Illustrious Energy" - post viewing film...

     Now that the film is finished... your task is to create an A4 poster – in WORD or PUBLISHER – containing the information you have collected from viewing the film. I.E. - those six focus questions you should have been gathering information on!


     You will need to go onto the internet and find some photos/images from the film – or ones of gold mining from Central Otago etc to put some graphic interest into your poster.

    Remember :

    * Your poster needs to have impact
    * Think about a border / colour / font / style / layout
    * Think about the visual and verbal elements. Details on the film...and some pictures to back that up.
