week 8 summary + what you’ll need for week 9

Hi team,

Hope everyone enjoyed the class with Alex on Monday. For those who missed it, we wrote capsule reviews of the 2014 Australian short film I’m You, Dickhead, which you can watch on Youtube here. Alex guided us through the process of note-taking while watching the film twice, and then we swapped reviews and discussed the different ways we responded to the process.

Next week is the opportunity you really don’t want to miss, where Alex will read examples of all your work and we’ll workshop them together. I’ve sent out an email with detailed instructions about this, but wanted to note the below here too, for consistency.

  1. Your 600 – 800 word review of one of the three films Alex has provided is due on Friday 15th. You need to send it to me via email, so that I can pass these onto Alex, so she can read them before we meet again on Monday.
  2. To make more time for this, I’ve extended the due date for PB3. Instead of being due this week, I’ve shifted it to Week 9 (Friday 22nd September). You can, of course, submit it earlier.
  3. And finally, as per email, I’ve cancelled our Wednesday morning class this week. But if anyone would like to meet with me on Thursday or Friday, please feel free to send me an email to make a time. I’m more than happy to meet one on one if you have questions, would like extra feedback etc.

Hope that’s not too confusing!
