TIMELINE THROUGH JUNE/JULY

Given the high level of work you've produced through the year, we aim to see quite a variety of work completed before breaking up for the summer in July. The work is roughly split into two stages:

1. the Collector's Edition DVD (sleeves, posters, reviews etc) to be burned onto DVD and screened/displayed at the end of next week (Fri 26th periods 1+2 for 12A; Weds 24th period 1 + Fri 26th P3 for 12C)
2. aim to explore the 3 short film options at the start of the week beginning Mon 29th - and screen the completed films on the last 2 days of lessons (Thurs 16th + Fri 17th)

If you want to get ahead of the game you could start now on the magazine feature, and begin jotting down ideas for the CD/DVD sleeve (artists/tracks; reviews; stills from your film; billing block; BBFC cert + explanatory block; title font; production co logo; narrative blurb; tagline etc), and looking for a film poster to Photoshop your head onto (the Reservoir Dogs pic will be available to use if you haven't any preference) - this, this and this give you the general idea.
I'll post soon on the 3 film options, but we'll discuss these in more detail in 2 weeks time before signing each of you up to one of these 3 film projects - for now focus on the Collector's Edition DVD, featuring some or all of:

• DVD sleeve
• CD OST sleeve
• teaser trailer
• teaser/main poster/s
• radio/TV review
• magazine interview with yourselves as 'emerging young filmmakers'
• audio commentary
• [+ Photoshopped version of an existing film poster, where you might be replacing the head of Quentin Tarantino, Hugh Grant or Rene Zellwegger, for example]
