Haven't seen you all for a while but I hope you've been busy over half-term, if not filming then at least refining your ideas and plans. I was at an exam board meeting today and saw lots of great student work that I hope you'll all match and surpass. What really excited me - and Mr. Gibbs worries about such excitement - was seeing how easily you could all be keeping track of your ideas and planning by using a blog. This is actually going to be a requirement in future years but for now you can have a look at what the students at Long Road College in Cambridge are doing right now. You can also look at some of their thrillers, or at least rough cuts, by looking through the different pages. I strongly recommend you take a look at this in your down time. We won't have time to go through it in class given your hectic production schedules.

I meant 'helpful'.
I think i agree with Mr.Gibbs. Thanks though, it is helpful.

Links are embedded in the title of every post on the blog, so just click on the title of the post to go to the Long Road blog. Animatics are animated versions of storyboards - where you film the storyboard and edit it to run for the time of the actual film. They are used in the industry to test that the shots work together and with sound.
Mr Meade, just to remind you to bring in a corkscrew. Thank you.

other than the big lebowski what other opening sequeneces did we watch
We looked specifically at the opening of Mean Streets and Blue Velvet in addition to The Big Lebowski. Mr. Gibbs showed his class the opening to Dexter, which, although a TV show, makes excellent use of iconography and humour. However,you should also have noted significant features of the openings to the thrillers we watched like The Dark Hours, The Birds and Momento.
