London Film Festival: "Night Bus" 15th October 2013

This trip is for the Level 2 Extended Certificate  and Year 1 L3 Extended Diploma Media students.  We are meeting at Rich Mix cinema in Shoreditch at 10 am prompt.  There are several ways to get there, please look at the link to the cinema's web page.  From Walthamstow or Hackney, you could get the 48 bus or the overground to Liverpool Street and it's a short walk. Use TFL Journey Planner if neither of these works for you, or speak to your teacher as it may be possible to travel with them.  For more information about the film, have a look at the London Film Festival website

London Film Festival- "National Diploma" Monday 13th October @ BFI Southbank

This visit is for 2nd year Media students (A2 and 2nd year Extended Diploma).  We will meet at 9.45 outside Burger King at Waterloo station, where we will then make our way down to the cinema on the South Bank.  Please DO NOT BE LATE.  There will be lots of us and we will leave you behind if you are not there.  Check on TFL journey planner before you go, and allow a bit of extra time.  If you are travelling by tube, you will need to follow signs for the overground station, and come up into the main station concourse, where you will see Burger King (right from the top of the escalator).  If you are NOT going to meet us at Burger King- and want to meet us at the cinema, please let me know before hand.  There are several cinemas at the BFI, so you will need to check with me where to go.

Auditions for A2 Media short films and music videos Thursday 2nd October

Performing Arts students have been invited to attend open auditions with you tomorrow lunchtime in the Drama Studio.  Please turn up punctually and decide what you want them to do- ie. lip synch a track, read some dialogue etc... It is your responsibility to work with the performers and inform them of what you will need. It will also be useful to have an idea of the timescale involved- ie. if you plan to film on a weekend and when.  Any questions, come to find Vanessa or Amy in A23.
