Prepare for assessment on MEST 1
Continue production diaries and post shoot plans so that you are ready for next term - storyboards, shot list, schedule. All should be on weebly by 5th of January.
Begin paper edit of trailer - think about titles, voice over, credits, fonts, industry information, codes and conventions - be prepared, your edit time will be short and this is work you can do before. In preparation re-read the brief for MEST2 it gives all of the necessary details regarding institutions and budget.
Watch some REALITY TV over the break and begin to think about the different varieties of reaity programming, which channel they are on and how the formats for each programme work.
Enjoy your break!

PRODUCTION
I am hoping to see all of you tomorrow at the beginning of Period 5 to report on your success during filming and to back-up the footage you have shot so far for your trailers. Please ensure that you are here at that time and that you bring all equipment with you.
Some of what I have seen from the groups who have reported in has been excellent. However, not everyone has followed my clear instructions.
On Tuesday I made a firm request for groups to contact me and report back on their progress, only two out of the four groups have done this with any consistency. The other two groups need to contact me urgently if they are to avoid generating letters home regarding they reliability and attendance.
I also need you all to update your weebly blogs with evaluations of the production experience so far and to explain the decisions you have made and the problems which you have confronted and how they have been solved. This is an important part of the evaluative process and needs to be done.
As you know the production window closes on Tuesday and I am expecting you all to have completed filming by the end of Period 4 that day. You will irrespective of any other needs report in Period 1 that day.

WEDNESDAY 9th PRODUCTION DAY
I have received no communications from any groups after yesterday's filming. Please rectify this.
It is also vital that you communicate asap to let me know where you are filming today so that I can come and observe.
I am also expecting some of you to come and find me today before 4pm to back-up your footage on the iMac, this is very important.

PRODUCTION ISSUES
It has come to my notice that a number of productions have been struggling during this two week production window with various issues including: illness, attendance, lateness, poor communication, disorganisation and poor planning.
To try and ensure that you all get back on track I need you all to come in tomorrow in your groups so look through your plans, see any footage you have shot (and upload it) and address the issues which have occurred.
It is not too late to fix things but in order to do this you MUST work as a team and that starts with personal responsibility and good communication.
Please email me ASAP to confirm that you will be coming.
