Teacher Feedback

Chantelle - your blog is really coming along, you have made some good posts relating to theory but don't forget to revisit those and write about how they relate to yor project? How does the Uses and Gratifications theory apply to your short film?

Don't forget to make a time scale for your plan of action so that you can actively check when you should have things completed.

Scout-Time

We need to know the locations that we are going to use in our film. All the locations need to reflect our main characters lifestyle and background. As she comes from quite a lower class background, the locations in which we film, need to reflect that. In particular, we are looking for quite grey buildings as this reflects the mood of the film.
