Mac 1 - Saw this and thought of you...

Love the editing with the bike shots - thought this would be similar to what you lot were talking about during last lesson before half term - I could be really out of date with what you're currently aiming for but thought would share it with you anyway.

Thanks to Megan for this:

Vlogs - done!

You are all brilliant - first group EVER to get your first films all onto your blogs before the given deadline...

Am really really proud/impressed by your first 'vlogs' (thank you Cherice for reminding me that's what they're called) and after chatting with Letisha today, think they're actually better than written text on your blogs...

Obviously, you've still got to have text somewhere but I see your blogs absolutely littered with your vlogs - make sure you number them (some of you already have) so we can see an easy record of them.

Outstanding - well done to everyone!

The Usual Suspects

This is the opening scene to one of the best films ever made.

It starts with the end - something mentioned by Elisha in her indv archive - and therefore raises so many great questions, but at the same time, totally captivating the audience:

Individual Film Archives

Well done to Stella - who is the ONLY one to have recorded and uploaded her individual assessment of the last few weeks..

So when I say 'no one', I really mean, 'everyone apart from Stella':

IF I CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU!!!!!

Prelims - Congrats to Mac 3

... And the same to Charlotte and Caroline of Mac 3!!

Excellent editing, you two - looking forward to your outtakes.

Prelims - Congrats to Mac 1

... And the same applause to Mac 1, who've also finished their prelim:

Although am waiting with bated breath for your nasty, cruel outtakes...

Prelims - Congrats to Mac 4

First Prelim - edited and uploaded - AND, is first one at ECS to have a split screen shot!

Well done to Lois, Daisy, Sanan and Holly - problem is.... if your prelim's this good, where're you going to go from here to make your film even better?!?

The other groups - I want your prelims edited and uploaded to YouTube by Thursday - during Thur's lesson, we'll be editing all the footage you shot today (running around the graveyard, chasing policemen - that kind of thing) - looking at transitions, colours, audio detaching, pace of footage etc
