Roll up your sleeves, take a deep breath...

So, this week both AS and A2 have started their coursework. We will still be working on some film history and film theory in class but for the most part your time should be spent planning and making your films.

AS = First draft of your statement of intentions is due in Wed 4 Feb
Treatment is due Mon 2 Feb

A2 = First draft of your illustrated essay is due in Friday 6 Feb
Treatment is due in Fri 30 Jan

I look forward to seeing your blog links appeearing any day now...

MIA Mocks

Yup, it's that time of the year again. Here are the MIA mock exam dates and times:

AS MIA - Wednesday 21 January 10.30 -12.00

A2 MIA - Wednesday 28 January Session 1 = 1.00-2.30
(15min break)
Session 2 = 2.45-3.30

Can you let me know if you are in class at these times as I will need to speak to your teachers to get their permission for you to be out of their class. Also if you have your own headphones (inner ear, fancy ones) that you want to use bring them with you on the day.

Picture this...

Hi there, just a reminder to AS people that the next task in your creative journal revolves around a picture or painting that inspires you. Here are some photographers and artists you might want to check out:

Cindy Sherman Cindy!

Annie Leibovitz Annie!

David laChapelle ( WARNING - some of his stuff is a bit naughty, DO NOT LOOK IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED)Lachappelle!

Diane Arbus Diane!

As for artists there are probably too many to list so try a general website for this if you are lost for ideas.art!


It was great to see moving image arts graduate Matt return from Edgehill, he gave us an impromptu screening of Final Cut which was very impressive, he's going to send me a copy so you can all have a chance to see it.

By the way, chocolate biscuit for anyone who can correctly identify which film was inspired by the Hopper picture on this post.
