Good morning. I'm sorry but my back is still giving me a lot of grief and despite putting on a brave face yesterday, I was in a lot of pain by lunch and today I am suffering! However, because you are diligent and concientious students I know you will stay and do the work I set here. Please do, it's in your interests and I have made the effort to post this, this morning:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2007/may/01/gender.world
I would then like you to write a review of the film on your blog commenting on what you find interesting about the representations of men and women in the film and discussing what you think the future of horror is? Where does it go from here? What next and why?
I look forward to reading these this evening. Missing you already x
Year 13 Film

Year 13 Film
1. AS A MATTER OF URGENCY I NEED YOU TO PLEASE ADD A FRAME (BLACK WITH WHITE TEXT) BEFORE YOUR SHORT FILMS THAT GIVES THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION FOR THE EXAMINER:
1. SHORT FILM TITLE
2. CANDIDATE NAMES AND CANDIDATE NUMBERS
NOTHING FANCY-MANCY. JUST SIMPLE.
When complete, please tell Gerry and give him this information along with the computer you used and whether you used Final Cut or i-movie. Thank you. Burn a copy to DVD for you and DO NOT FILM OVER YOUR ROUGH FOOTAGE ON YOUR DV TAPES.
ALSO I NEED FS4 WORK FROM THE FOLLOWING:
GRANT - EVALUATION
DANIELLE- ALL PIECES
LANGFORD - EVALUATION
Can you e-mail me these at ninanoo@btinternet.com
NEXT IN CLASS AND HOMEWORK FOR NEXT THURSDAY:
1. Please read my most recent posting on Gendered Film 'Some Useful Notes on The Piano' and read the posting.
2. Complete the exercise is pairs and post your results on your blogs.
Now apply this Levi Strauss's theory of Binary Opposites to the other films we have seen. What do these play in the films?
What other binary oppositions can you identify in The Piano?
What binary oppositions can you identity in Tomb Raider and Thelma and Louise?
If time permits, I'd like you to watch 'Persepolis' but I think Alan loaned it over Easter and he may not have it with him. It might be in my cupboard which I think I left open yesterday. If it's not in there, could you ask Alan? Thank you.
Thank you for your anticipated hard work and I look forward to looking at the work on your blogs. I'm sorry to let you down and I'll see you soon.
Good luck. Have Fun. See you soon x
