Corporate Video Unit/Tomorrow

Paul has asked me to remind the group, and we will discuss this more on Friday, that some learners have yet to contribute to any filming for the Heritage Project and so if you are one of those learners you may want to speak to him regarding the Trent and Dove project asap

It is not enough to simply edit a video - Paul has stated that he is not prepared to mark you for editing the footage that others have filmed

There is still time to get involved...we don't want you to be the person who turns to us in July and says "if only..."


I don't want to go on so I shall leave it there...but just look at this fella above - he didn't film anything for his corporate video and it ruined his life


Tomorrow, tomorrow...I love you tomorrow

Remember - do not turn up in your best gear tomorrow as we will be filming outdoors and you are likely to get muddy (it is approaching winter too)...


I wouldn't want you to ruin your best gear...that means tops, trousers and shoes

p.s. no moaning either, thank you

CIQ Wednesday 2nd/3rd November

Post CIQ here please

Dead and Breakfast

Spooky event at Quad this Saturday

http://www.derbyquad.co.uk/whats-on/cinema-listings/pg84

Dead And Breakfast III - Night Terrors! (18)
Saturday 29th October from 10:30pm - 7:30am


Dead And Breakfast emerges from its year-long sleep to wreak havoc on unsuspecting night owls for a third successive year. Demons, Rednecks, Grand Gignol style murders, slasher mayhem and vicious vampires, this year has everything you could possibly want from a night of terrors.

Five films to fill you with fear throughout the night! The Evil Dead (18), Tenebrae (18), House (Hausu) (15), Tucker & Dale vs Evil (15) & From Dusk Till Dawn (18).


The Evil Dead (18)
USA 1981 85 mins
Dir: Sam Raimi


Raimi's debut has been overshadowed by the increasingly lighter horror fair that followed but this first Evil Dead really packs a punch. Five friends travel to an old wood cabin where they invoke flesh possessing demons. The movie that started first unleashed Ash (Bruce Campbell) on an unsuspecting world.


Tenebrae (18)
Italy 1982 110 mins
Dir: Dario Argento

Argento's follow up to the bizarre Inferno was a return to the horror / thriller that made his name. John Saxon (Nightmare On Elm Street, Enter The Dragon) plays a writer on a book tour of Rome who discovers someone is using his novels as inspiration for a series of murders. Shot through with Argento's trademark flair and style, this is a stylish slasher.


House (15)
(Hausu)
Japan 1977 88 mins
Dir: Nobuhiko Ohbayashi


An unforgettable mixture of bubblegum teen melodrama and grisly phantasmagoria, this deranged fairy tale is one of the wildest rides you will ever witness. Upset by her father's plans to remarry, Angel sets of to visit her aunt's isolated mansion with six of her school friends. A mental masterpiece!


Tucker & Dale Vs Evil (15)
USA 2010 89 mins
Dir: Eli Craig

Taking the classic storyline of demented rednecks hacking and slashing pretty college teens and spinning it on its head, Tucker & Dale Vs Evil is a funny and bloody romp through the West Virginian outback. Starring Alan Tudyk of Serenity, Tucker & Dale's holiday is about to get bloody!


From Dusk Til Dawn (15)
USA 1996 108 mins
Dir: Robert Rodriguez


The Gecko brothers are cutting a swath across the Texan backroads, kidnapping a family and just looking for a place to get a quiet beer. The bar they settle on is nice but the staff are a bit bitey! George Clooney, QT, Juliette Lewis, Harvey Keitel and a memorable appearance from both Salma Hayek and Cheech Marin.
