Can I ask all of you to update the blogs as I will be sending these off on Monday.  Please embed trailers and clips of the films you are considering.  I am absent tomorrow so continue with your documentary planning/shooting.  Next Thursday I want to take you all to the library to get some resources.  You will all need Sight and Sound reviews of your films the archive is in the library and some in the editing suite.

You should be going through all back copies of SS/Empire to help research
