  •  
    Right then we are going to have to change our schedule of tasks due to the shocking apathy that has descended over this class and the work you have produced !

    No one has completed their photoshoots or masthead designs !!

    They must be up on your blogs when we return from Christmas ! Otherwise people are going to get kicked off the course

    You must have

    4 or 5 different masthead designs all evaluated and a clear favourite selected.

    3 or 4 different photoshoots in different locations with around 30 potential photos in total.
    Find a way to host them on you blog by using a photo hosting website like flickr / picassa or something else.


    Remember what we said about taking great photos ! This isn’t a passport or driver’s license photo. It’s a portrait!!!!



    Some websites for inspiration :

  • Well first of all well done every one for being on time and well behaved and all that last Friday. The trip to teh BFI Study Day on the Film Industry in preparation for your exam module was really useful and even though it was a lot of talking was a really valuable chance to hear people speak about the industry.

    Apart from Emma's running for teh bus nobody embarrassed themselves too much!

    Now you have no excuses not to know what the differences are between independant and mainstream cinema and also how to market a major blockbuster.

  • So in preparation for our trip tomorrow here are some really useful websites for film industry revision throughout the year......

    Dont forget these .. ever !
