All Groups - Note about Music

Quite a few of you now have used the excellent LGFL site that provides non-copyrighted sounds and music for your films.

You must ALL show on your blogs, screenshots of your decisions, sounds you discarded, reasons for why you chose what you chose.

If you don't, the examiner/moderator will mark you down - no negotiations, you'll just drop marks.

So archive EVERY little decision you made about the SOUNDS of your film.

Mac 2 - Don't Forget..

Katrina, Natasha, Lucy and Nada - your couch potato logo looks fantastic, but don't forget that you must archive your work on it on your blog.

Otherwise, it'll look like you've nicked it from somewhere (even though I know you didn't) and the examiner/moderator will need to see how you got to make the decisions you made about reflecting yourselves as lazy spuds.

Possibly, lots of screen shots of the other pics you took?? Or footage of you lot making them??

Prep for Premier Screening on 7th April..

Joely, and everyone else who wants it for their blogs - here's the audience feedback sheet that'll be on chairs for the 7th April evening (although do think this was the original draft that Ms Poulten produced and that the question, 'What do you think we could improve?' has been removed):Evaluation Sheets - AS and A2

Once they're all filled in, we'll distribute them to you as a group then it's up to you how you want to present the info on your blogs.. you could quote from them, collate all the comments and present as a graph/diagram - whatever you feel best fits your blog.

Don't forget, am not in on Friday so last minute tinkering must all be finished during that lesson as I really don't want to be going through major decisions on Monday - that lesson's for burning your films to your group's DVDs ready for Thursday and for feeling smug that it's all nearly over!

On Monday, we can start discussing how/when to film your Evaluation Q&As (which am THOROUGHLY looking forward to..)

Only 23 days..

Following on from today's lesson, am so pleased that ALL the groups are right on track for D-Day of April 7th.. Just a few icky bits to sort out on everyone's films.

Don't forget, we're all helping Andrea and Charlotte on Friday - and you two, make sure you've storyboarded, dialogued and anticipated all possible mishaps that might happen so it won't waste everyone's time but be quality, finished filming.

Also, as a group, you need to create/produce your Audience Feedback Forms that'll be used on April 7th. The sooner you do that, the better - is one less job for you to be thinking about.

Do give me a shout if I can help with anything in the build-up to finishing everything off!

Last Night's Cinema Trip

EXCELLENT turnout from the group - nice to see:

Katrina
Vali
Mollie
Millie
Yasemin
Heather
Lucy
Natasha
Andrea
Joely
Beste

and maybe it wasn't the best idea for all the scaredy-cats (and I include myself in that) to be sitting right at the front!

Got a couple of gripes about the film though - wasn't that impressed by the editing - what was the thing about the cats' names? Why did Father Lucas make such a deal out of that for Rosario to then name them all? Was waiting for some kind of link or scene - think maybe that and other stuff shouldn't have been left in..

And not too happy about the red-eyed mule..
