Red Dwarf. Some parody (the ship's computer); pastiche of SF in the sense of using very recognisable iconography, settings and characters. Mostly sitcom. References to prison and war movies.
Is also hard SF as does consider what it means to be human.

Finished Yasmin. Plan 'How do characters' values influence their behaviour in the films you have studied? For Friday.

Cancelled.

Discussion on parody and pastiche. Whilst both have a text/genre behind the prime text, parody exaggerates to mainly poke fun but pastiche, in the style of, is more likely to celebrate.
Extracts from Blazing Saddles and Star Wars - a pastiche of Sat. matinee (like Flash Gordon)

Great to be back!

Very few actually handed in their evaluations; this was a mistake. Deadline Friday.
All paperwork for units 2 & 3 should be with me so I can start going through it.

went through what was required in the evaluation. Suggested fleshing out definition of audience in aims & rationale by charactersing your film as similar to... and finding out how popular that was using the Lumiere database. Remember, the production is only worth 60%.
Want the 21 Grams essay (see 4 March post) 8 April; leave The Return, we'll pick up on it after Broken Blossoms.
13MS
Deadline today. Well done to everyone who's finished their video; take a bow... Hmm. That's no one then.
Still many are nearly finished and the quality is heartening. Amazing moment when Mr Otway admitted he was feeling under pressure for the first time... ever!
12FS
Returned 'not bad' micros but a number of students sensibly to decided to have another bash over Easter. Drafts in first day back.
HAVE A GOOD BREAK; THAT'S 'BREAK' NOT 'HOLIDAY'!

Run through of News 24 unseen expressing bemusement about those who hadn't including news values DESPITE BEING TIPPED OFF THAT THEY WOULD BE NECESSARY. The 'horse to water' cliche was spent and speculation surrounded whether some students would die of thirst.
Further recommendations for revision focusing on understanding what the key concepts consisted of.
13MS
Finished off OU programme on Gangsters but it appeared to have confused more than enlightened. We'll return to parody after Easter.
Revision recommended: focus on how notes fit in with spec's bullet points.

Unit 2 should've been in today but I'd actually dated it the 18th which let a lot of you off the hook. Mr Aminzadeh was honest/dumb enough to admit he didn't know it was due; deadlines! deadlines! Know them!
12FS
Practiced an FS2 Q about supporting the British Film Industry. Some excellent contributions. Bring all your notes in on Thursday.
13App
Run through what's required for unit 5; check your paperwork and look at the assessment criteria: ask yourself, 'is there evidence so that Lacey can credit me?' If there isn't; find it!
12MS
Production lesson. Don't assume you'll be able to get a school camcorder over Easter!
