Today's tasks...

Hi guys,

I'm sorry I can't be there today. I I don't want to make any of you ill! I thought it best to give you something else to do today as I am not there to help you with filming. Rest assured that on Thursday we will be back into filming.

Today, you have lots to get done:

1. Finish any outstanding scripting, storyboarding, shooting scripts
2. Organise all props, coastumes, makeup, sets, actors etc for tomorrow's filming (you should be well and truly finished filming by Monday so get organised!)
3. Complete your blog setup and first blog entry (as described in the blog setup instructions on the Media website)
4. See the previous post on this blog about 'following'. (well done, David and Alice!)
5. Find each others' blogs and 'follow' them all.
6. Reflect on what you've learned so far and write your thoughts in a blog post. You may want to talk about problems you've had, interesting inspirations, making (and then changing) all of your plans, equipment failures, the practicalities of filming, working with group members who aren't always in attendance, etc. Keep it short and sweet - 300 words should be ample!

This is important practice for your Critical Evaluation - the 3rd part of your major task! It will also remind you of pitfalls to avoid and successful strategies to put in place when you're doing your major task.

I will be checking everyone's blog from my sickbed so get going!

Ms Hobbs
