My Film - Progress Check

"Nicola, your blogging so far has been generally thorough, well written and expressed using appropriate terminology throughout - well done. However, it has slipped a little since you went into production, which I’m sure you’re aware of. So far there is little evidence of all the hard work you have done on your film opening. i would have expected to see your pitch, screenplay, storyboard, photography of your locations, and a production diary detailing how each shoot went. You should also be adding rough cuts and edits, so that there is a clear progression shown through your blog. I’m sure you’ll get on top of this and I understand that you have been away over christmas; I also know it’s easy to get carried away with the production itself, but just don’t neglect the evidence to go alongside it."
