Last theory assignments!!!

The link for the last two Film Studies assignments is on the theory tab.
We have some topics still to cover in theory classes, but there should also be time to watch some films!

I believe there are only two people who have already completed these module units last year (and gained maximum grade) - but speak to me if you are unsure.

Questionnaire for Yr1 group

They have asked if you would complete this audience questionnaire.  There is an email address at the bottom of the page - could you forward the completed form to this please?

Joel will be adding the questionnaire in a comment below.

Any questions, ask Joel!

G-Man Video

"I'm looking at showing the "lamestream News" organizations dodging the real questions, reporting on issues that don't really matter. Would be good to show "shadowy figures in the background as puppeteers and the media as puppets.

Could also show the people (puppets sitting in darkness/expressionless....)

We then see "anonymous" ZeN peeps gathering news from obscure sites that have 100% authenticated information

The promo could also show kids writing/taking pics via phones & texting info all from around the globe then it lands on ZeN's desk who then re-distribute the info in it's various forms via our website (ZeN411.co.uk),internet/workshop.

ZeN's aim is to "show people what they didn't know they didn't know"

Ps, "411 is directory inquiries in the USA"

G-Man will be in next Wednesday at 2pm to discuss the project

CIQ Wednesday 18th April

Please post here - will the group be able to beat 5 responses?

I've attached the brief for tomorrow PM so that you can have a look through it before you arrive.

You will need to bring a DVD in with you (if you forget or do not have one you can select one form the LRC) in order to complete the task - read the brief for guidance.

Please read through the brief before you arrive (if you read the blog) so that you are familiar with what you need to do - you might want to research some of the content before you arrive.

Act of Valor - shot on mk II

Just came across this interesting fact that 'Act of Valor' (which doesn't look, narratively, very interesting) was predominantly shot on 5D Mk II's:

"the camera is nothing less than a “game-changer” for motion-picture production"

check out the trailer - shows what the camera is capable of

Eden Monday

Information for the Eden individuals:

Chris sent an email on Thursday with the following information. Everyone to meet outside the college. We are leaving at 9am. I suggest we meet outside the main reception and then go and get the bus. Can we just make sure that everyone gets this message - spread the word, as not everyone reads the blog. See you Monday!

Heritage...

FAO Alex

Angela is chasing the Heritage film - could you burn it onto a disc and bring it to college on the Monday we leave for Eden? We will get you a replacement disc if you use your own

Anyone who sees this post can you forward the info to alex? thanks
