End of Film Shoot
Tuesday is the last official day of your film shoot.
You have had 10 days with the cameras to film all the scenes relevant to your movie opening. This is ample time if you are well motivated and well organised.
However, if there have been problems and they do happen from time to time you will need to make the case for an extension and agree with me a new deadline.
There is also the possibility for you to come in and edit/shoot pick-up shots (additional material to enhance your film) on Thur/Fri of the half term.
YOU MUST BRING ALL EQUIPMENT WITH YOU TUESDAY TO BE SIGNED IN - EVEN IF YOU ARE HOPING TO BORROW IT AGAIN.
Also, I would like you to bring in all the magazines lent out a couple of week ago, again to ensure I kn ow who has what.
