Risk, Money, Craft & Collaboration
Some of you have mentioned that you found the Coppola quote on themes inspirational....here is the article it was taken from
http://the99percent.com/articles/6973/Francis-Ford-Coppola-On-Risk-Money-Craft-Collaboration
"An essential element of any art is risk. If you don’t take a risk then how are you going to make something really beautiful, that hasn’t been seen before?"

Themes
You're currently writing your scripts but how many of you have considered your films theme???
"Eh? What's a theme????"
Themes are so important in film, television, novels, etc. etc. Get that right and you'll be okay....
I've shared this powerpoint on themes and subtext...it contains some fairly straightforward examples (Lord of the Rings, Twilight) but hopefully you will find it beneficial

"When you make a movie, always try to discover what the theme of the movie is in one or two words. Every time I made a film, I always knew what I thought the theme was, the core, in one word. In “The Godfather,” it was succession. In “The Conversation,” it was privacy. In “Apocalypse,” it was morality.... knowing the theme helps you make a decision when you’re not sure which way to go"
- Francis Ford Coppola

The Test!!!!! Aaaaaaarrrrggggggggghhhhh!!!!
Tomorrow is the big "test"
The film will be screened at 10am.
You will then have 13.15 - 15.00 and then 15.15 to 16.00 to write your response.
You will be expected to use other examples of single camera productions in your writing and also use images to enhance it - the internet can be used for these purposes. However, you are not to copy and paste essays/literature
You can take notes whilst watching the film and you can bring these notes into the classroom. You can bring published literature in. You can go to the library and get some books out if you want. However, no mobile phones or storage devices.
As it is an academic form of writing you will also need to make sure you reference your sources using Harvard Referencing. You can use this link regarding how to reference using Harvard:

You need to specifically focus on:
Narrative Structure: Non/Linear, Flashback, Non/Realist, Open/closed ending
Technical Aspects:Camera Techniques, Lighting, sound and editing
