Prelim Deadline

Well done to you all for completing your  prelim tasks.

I think some of you are having far too much fun editing your outtakes when you haven't completed your prelim edit SO.. can you please have both short films (prelim AND outtakes) finished, uploaded and posted onto all of your blogs by:

Friday 12th October.

Also, you should have vlogged about your Prelim - kind of like an evaluation vlog - so technically, that's 3 films I'd like on each blog by Friday 12th Oct.

You can have Wednesday 10th October lesson for editing.

We won't be having Friday's lesson as you've all got your ALIS tests 1&2 on Friday - and as I ought to be teaching Y12 (you), I offered to invigilate the test - so whilst you'll be wracking your brains on IQ like questions, I'll be sat checking all of your blogs.

Woe betide ANYONE who hasn't got both films posted onto their blogs by 9:00am on Friday 12th.

I'd like to issue all 5 groups with your recording equipment the following Wednesday lesson (17th) - but if you haven't met my prelim deadline, then your group WILL NOT receive their cameras etc.


Film Openings...

I'd like you to start focusing on film openings - now you're all engaged in the course and noticing different camera shots in adverts etc, I want you to turn your main focus to what type of genre of film you'd like to shoot - and inspiring openings already done.

Here's one of my favourites ever - it's a tad longer than the time allowed for yours but there you go:
