Blogs

Found a great new site called Film Releases.com which has a lot of background on each of the films worth a look link .............here

You should now be posting what you have been reading on your blog this will for the basis of your catalogue. Even if you have not yet decided on your films start compiling a list any text you find may be useful or it will be useful for the Material Selected but not used ssection at the end of your catalogue.

When deciding on the usefulness of your films ensure that you look at the extras there is often some good stuff included.

This is not an essay so try and avoid long passages of text I want to see what you are looking at and reading so embed some clips and references.

Can you get your proposal back to me before next friday 8th July.

Lastly if you are going to miss any lessons due to filming then please let me know

Good luck and if you want to chat about this then you know where I am.

Research

So everyone has now got a blog. Please make sure you use it and of course keep an eye on my blog. Remember that your research question needs to be open enough to enable research but focused enough to be valuable and to allow a detailed investigation.
Make sure you read the exemplar material in the booklet do not try and do all of this work online you really need to get into the Library and start reading.

I would like you to submit your research question by week beginning Monday 4 July I want the question with your Focus Film specified and then your supporting two or three films. I will give out the paperwork for this next week.
