HOME LEARNING THIS WEEK

I have spoken to most of your regarding your recent test and we have discussed working levels and what you need to do to improve. I am please to say that of those I have met with none will be leaving the course at this stage. Those who still have to take the test and meet with me must ensure that this is done this week. You know who you are.

As you can see we are in the enviable position of having a lot of production resources available to us, both camera equipment and research/reading resources. It is very important if you are to progress that you make use of the later as much as the former.

FOR FRIDAY

READING

1. Ensure that you have read the chapter on Foundation Portfolio - Video Production in the ebook. See previous posts for link and login information. You will have a short test on this on Friday.
2. Also, please begin reading the Course Handbook which I provided you with today. As you are aware the cost for this is £5 if you lose it and it has to be replaced - you will need it and you are expected to bring it to every class.
3. Also read the article in the latest copy of Media Magazine - The Ps in Production. (login details in the previous post)

PRODUCTION

1. You are all expected to continue with your preparations for the film. I am expecting to review your progress on the productions next Tuesday along with your blogs and I want to find that you are all staying on top of the work and pulling your weight in your groups.
2. Please check out Dependent Films website and use some of the forms that they provide for your production. 
3. You should be planning location scouting/recce to find the most suitable places to film and taking photos of them, thinking about casting of characters from your friends or setting up auditions perhaps. All the while ensuring that the evidence for all of this goes on your blog (or a dedicated blog for your group which you all have access to.

Finally, please ensure that all your blogs are up to date with all work set since the beginning of term, I will be reviewing them all this weekend and early next week.
