Happy Easter Cinephiles


I hope you have a great break and the Easter bunny comes to each and every one of you. Just remember though that this is going to be a very busy holiday for you. Here's some advice DO NOT LEAVE ALL YOUR FILMING UNTIL THE LAST WEEK. If you are having technical troubles make sure you get in touch, there is NO excuse for not having your films (almost) completed by the time you get back. I can help you out equipment wise if you're having difficultes or offer moral support and advice if the whole thing starts to crumble.

Enjoy the hols, can't wait to see the finished products when you get back.

P.S. Just wanted to post this here for Lee, was watching it and thought you might like it. The white screen reminded me a bit of your ideas for the video. Enjoy.

One minute film countdown


Hi all, the blogs are looking pretty good at the moment, and almost everyone has finished their statement of intentions - so well done. At this stage you should be finishing research, drawing storyboards and starting work on your ONE minute film. Aim to have these finished for the end of the week. I have also uploaded more planning resources onto the MIA shared resources folder to help you get ready for the BIG SHOOT over Easter.

Meanwhile, don't forget to do some research on Jean Luc Godard for Thursday's theory class in which we will be finishing our work on cinema verite and Dogme and starting work on the French New Wave, yum!
