Broadway Cinema Nottingham
Can you comment below on who will be coming on the trip to Nottingham on Thursday please.
I was planning on meeting at the broadmarsh bus station near to the underpass towards the broadmarsh shopping centre at about 10.30am?
Will this be OK?
The film is 140 minutes long. The screening is at 3pm. I think it will finish about 5.45 - 6pm

The brief (on moodle) specifically lists the evidence toy need to submit. Make sure that you can provide some evidence for each of the italicised sub headings.

Furthermore, It looks as though the Inspire Film Festival is not running this year - Typical.

Assessment Task 5: Inspire Film Festival

It can be either a PowerPoint presentation, a discussion with visual imagery or a video pitch (Kick-starter style). Additionally, for your word press sites, you will need a paper based proposal/treatment (available on this blog) that is completed in full.

3 more shorts
Boy and Bicycle...directed by Ridley Scott and featuring his late
brother Tony. This was filmed whilst Ridley was still a student, so it's quite
interesting to see this in light of what he has achieved since.
Again, this was selected for the Cinema 16 British
Shorts DVD
Who's My Favourite Girl
Another British Short available on Cinema 16 British Shorts DVD.
Who's My Favourite Girl? from adrian mcdowall on Vimeo.
Brown Paper Bag
Another BAFTA winning short film
Brown Paper Bag from L'Coco Web Design Ltd on Vimeo.
Je t'aime John Wayne
A short film that pays homage to French New Wave cinema. Available on the Cinema 16 British Shorts DVD. Also it might be useful for the film studies work you are doing with John.

choosing. The presentation will commence with an uninterrupted screening and
you might then wish to go through the short film using the pause button. All
members of the group must speak and the presentation (after the screening)
should last for no longer than 10 minutes, so please make your points
succinctly."
Use the CINEMATOGRAPHY
worksheet, and these EDITING
