Students were set the task of making 4 short sequences using the same scenario which was borrowed from Matt Madden’s book ‘99 Ways to Tell a Story’. Students picked a director, a film, a film movement and a genre from pots and then had to make the same scenario using the different styles. Time was given over to some research into the relevant areas and then students made the sequences. There will be a more detailed outline of this activity in the new MEA journal to be published later this year. Here is the link http://longroad99ways.tumblr.com/.

There are example questions for each of the 3 sections of the FM4 exam on the website. To find them use the picture buttons at the top of the page. You should read the questions and think about how you would respond to them. What examples would you use? What key points would you make? How would you structure your arguement?

There will be another workshop on Tuesday 15th June in G23 from 2-4pm. This will be the last chance before the exam to speak to a member of the Film team before the exam.

There will be sessions running to help students with Exam work on Wednesdays @ 1.45 – 2.15pm in G14 and on Fridays @ 11.00 – 11.45 in the LRC. I am sorry there are not more but this is due to staffing issues. If you require specific help please speak directly to your class teacher. Thanks.

Don’t forget that on Thursday 1st April your work is being screened at the Arts Picturehouse from 9-12. Please make sure you attend.

Thanks

We are currently in New York with 19 AS Film Students and about to watch The Prowler at the fantastic Film Forum. We have been across the Brooklyn Bridge and into Greenwich Village for lunch. This evening it looks like an extra screening at the Angelika Film Center of City Island due to poor visibility . So far, so good.
