For the filmed sequence these materials should include:

• A recce report

• Evidence of casting considerations

• A shooting/editing log

These materials, with the exception of the script, can be presented in written and/or audio-visual formats as appropriate and should be contextualised with a clear justification for why the materials have been produced.

Twitter


I will be putting a gadget on the side of this to showcase the Twitter feed for the Media Department but I would like as many of you as possible to follow it as it will give you the information for lessons and changes to rooms or any updates to blogs that you will need to make.

I will also make sure that any trip info will be passed to you.
