Statement of Intentions


Hi all, hope all the planning is going well. By this stage you should all have finished your treatments, scripts and research and be ready to start writing your statement of intentions. In my room I have samples of other students' work that you can have a look at for ideas. In addition I have also put some resources up on shared resources under MIA, this can be used to help you write your statement of intention. This should be finished by this time next week and in the mean time you should be getting ready to make your one minute films.

Lee and cahil og need to get their blog/ website address to me ASAP.

Hope you have all been checking out the oscar action as well, what did you think of the nominatations, the winners and the dresses?
