***AS Foundation Portfolio coursework deadline*** Wednesday 21st January 2015

This is a reminder that the deadline for the coursework is this Wednesday 21st January at 4.30.  All of the tasks 1-12 should be on your blog, along with work in progress and reflections on your progress throughout the project.  All tasks should be very clearly labelled. Use the assignment brief on moodle (AS Media>Assignments and Assessments>Foundation Portfolio assignment 201415) to check that you have all tasks on the blog, and they are of a quality you are happy with.

If you feel there is a strong and valid reason why you cannot meet Wednesday's deadline, you MUST speak to your class teacher BEFORE Wednesday's deadline to discuss the possibility of an extension. DO NOT make any edits to your blog after this time or date as we will start to assess, and this could invalidate marks not just for you, but for all students.

We look forward to seeing your finished blogs!

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.
