EVALUATION WORK

Over the next few lessons, you will have 1 lesson on writing your evaluation with some advice in a handout. You can't start the evaluation until you've finished editing, but as soon as you have, you should start the draft and divide the parts of it up amongst the group.
Your deadline for the draft evaluation will be midnight, Friday April 8th. You must meet this deadline to be sure of getting advice and feedback from your supervisor. If it is late, you may not get any help with improving it!

FINAL EDITING DEADLINE APPROACHING!

The Final Deadline for your film to be fully edited (vision, titling and sound) and burnt to a disc is Friday 1st April (this Friday). It is essential that you meet this deadline to avoid losing marks for planning.

TITLES AND CREDIT ANALYSES

EACH OF YOU MUST COMPLETE THIS OVER THE NEXT WEEK, AND CERTAINLY BEFORE YOU START CONSTRUCTING YOUR OWN. INSTRUCTIONS APPEAR BELOW, BUT YOU SHOULD ALSO HAVE DONE SOME WORK IN A LESSON ON THIS:

On your blog, you should now post a discussion of 3 title sequences of your own choice - try to use thrillers from either TV Drama or Film. Links to possible sequences can be found on the side bar to the right.

Ensure that you consider how the film title, graphics, music, and placement, all work in the overall construction of the sequence. Do they contribute anything to the meaning about character, mood, atmosphere or any aspect of narrative.

DEADLINE TODAY!

ALL RUSHES (UNEDITED FILM) MUST BE ON THE MAC NETWORK BY THE END OF TODAY. YOUR SUPERVISOR WILL GIVE YOU THE GO-AHEAD TO EDIT AFTER THAT.

Don't Forget To....

You should all be well on the way to completing your filming now: DEADLINE FRIDAY MARCH 11TH (1 WEEK TOMORROW).
Don't forget good blogging technique - make sure that you are recording each day of the filming process, discussing successes, failures, changes and choices made in detail. Always support these discussions with evidence from particular shots in your film, preferably illustrated using screen grabs, or perhaps pics from your phone taken on the shoot. Make certain that plenty of material is shot for each scene, repeating each shot several times, and allowing a few seconds each side of the shot for editing.
