FRIDAY'S LESSON UPDATE

Unfortunately I still can't be with you tomorrow.

However, it is not like you don't have enough to do!

Everything that I was expecting from you for Friday I will now be expecting on Tuesday. It does give you a little more time to prepare and get your acts together for the presentations of your production and to have REALLY GOOD storyboards, production plans and scripts.

Also, it allows you a little more time to ensure that your weebly sites are up to date and working properly. Help each other if you get stuck.

For examples of good script writing check out previous blogs and also take a look at Drew's Script-o-rama where you can find examples of hundred of screenplays for films old and new. Reading some pages will not do you any harm.

Keep watching and annotating and ALWAYS refer back to the MEST2 brief I gave you. This is your BIBLE (or other holy book if you will) and you must use the information contained in it. remember who the audience is, what they watch and why (research this), the budget, the means of funding and the planned distribution. Which specific cinemas would you choose around the country? How are you going to find out this kind of information?

Comment to let me know that you have read this and please pass on information to others regarding tomorrow's lessons.
