Callum, There are still a number of missing posts. Please use the class notes you have to complete the following:
ReplyDelete- still images from a thriller with comments on suiatbility of setting, costume, lighting , props etc.
- Upload your prelim task and evaluation
- analysis of two from No Country For Old Men, Se7en or Shutter Island
- analysis of the opening of your own choice of thriller film
If your blog is still unaccessible you must see either me or Mr Collier as a matter of urgency.
To echo Miss Yemc's comments this is not good enough Callum. You MUST catch up on the posts immediately 0- these were supposed to have been done by today. Also - there is no written evaluation of your prelim and I can't access the video you produced.
