Eden Project April 2012
We only had a limited number of spaces on the trip, as it also involves photography and graphics learners. Consequently, we can only take 4 learners from the group with us.
Therefore, it has been decided that Amy, Charlie, Deborah and Elliot will be going on this particular project. We will speak to the four of you individually and discuss the trip further, later on this week. There are specific reasons why you have been selected to participate and I will discuss these with on Thursday.
Can you all please confirm that you are still interested in going.
I'm sorry that we were not able to take the whole group with us but we are restricted due to space on the minibus. If you have any concerns please speak directly to me.
I'm certain that as the academic year progresses there will be other opportunities for you all to participate outside of your classroom time (Manchester in June) in filming activities. New projects keep popping up and we will inform you when we have further opportunities.

Crushing Blows Shoot
Firstly, some info from me...
Thanks to all those who showed interest in getting involved with the Crushing Blows video shoot on Thursday. I took all the names and discussed them with Paul and Lindsay.
Both Paul and Lindsay felt that the student who has worked hardest, and will therefore be joining the crew, is...Alex Gilbert
Well done Alex! Will see you Thursday
Secondly:
Kate Atchison, who is producing the Crushing Blows music video, has written a note for those involved in the shoot...
"Hi Guys!
Before we embark on this project, I just wanted to suggest a few things that you may want to bring with you over the two days. And also give you some basic information about the locations.
Wednesday - Meet outside college at 7am
On the first day we will be filming at Pooles Cavern in Buxton (01298 26978). There is no reception for mobile phones in the caves so this would be the contact telephone number in case of an emergency. My mobile number is 07532 130309 and I will have my phone with me at all times as an alternative contact number.
The caves are 2 million years old and have many protected rare natural rock formations. For this reason we are very lucky to have been granted access to restricted areas of natural beauty and need to bear in mind that we should act in accordance with the strict health and safety policy of the cavern manager Alan.
The caves are quite drippy and so I would advise you to wear sturdy footwear such as boots/wellies with a good grip/ walking shoes and warm layers that you can add or take off depending on the temperature. At some points we will be 200ft underground and it is pretty cold when you are standing about, a waterproof coat/cagool would also be advised.
There is toilet facilities and a small café at the visitor centre but I would advise bringing a packed lunch, drinks and snacks for the day if possible.
We will be leaving the caves at approx 17:30.
Thursday - Meet outside college for 8am
The second day we will be filming in Baddesley Ensor. This is a small village near Atherstone, Warwickshire. There will be a number of scenes filmed here and the general wooded areas are very muddy so please bring waterproof footwear such as wellies. We are not going to be near any shops so you will need packed lunch, drinks and snacks. WARM WATERPROOF CLOTHES ESSENTIAL!!
We will be leaving the location approx 16:00 (could be later, however).
You have all been assigned roles for the two days, which may change due to unforeseen circumstances. We do ask that you embrace your individual responsibilities as we are very tight on time and need to make sure that we are working safely and productively at all times.
If anyone has any queries that Mark can’t answer please do not hesitate to contact me on my mobile. If you need to leave earlier than the times given you will need to be collected from the location.
Its going to be a fantastic experience for us all to collect some amazing footage and work with the band on a video that will be used to promote their European tour this April!
I look forward to working with you all.

Music Video - Crew Member Needed
Next week I am shooting another music video with Crushing Blows...
I need an extra crew member for the second day of shooting on the Thursday (2nd Feb).
If you are interested, place your name below. Once I have some names, myself, Paul and Lindsay will have a discussion regarding who we think should go...
Deborah and Amy have been asked already due to the amount of work that they have done on Heritage this term.
The video will be quite epic in scope - with much of it being shot in a cave (see below).
The narrative will have a fairy-tale-esque feel with a Red Riding Hood type lead character who the band will serenade...
This is the track: http://crushingblows.bandcamp.com/track/i-dream-of-becoming-a-girl
Day 2 will involve shooting external elements of the narrative. If you are interested in helping on the 2nd Feb, post below...
