REMEMBER - YOU HAVE 2 DEADLINES BY THE END OF TOMORROW!

POSTER - BY TOMORROW (FRIDAY NIGHT) YOU SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN THE FINAL 2 DESIGNS TO TAKE THROUGH TO COMPLETION, AND TAKEN THESE TO A MORE ADVANCED DRAFT STATE, USING REAL IMAGES FOR EXAMPLE.

REVIEW - YOU NEED TO HAVE DONE ALL OF THE RESEARCH INTO 'LITTLE WHITE LIES' - THESE ARE LAYOUT CONVENTIONS AND AUDIENCE PROFILE. THERE IS ONE INDIVIDUAL DEADLINE, AND THERE ARE 3 GROUP DEADLINES.

YOU CAN USE THE FOLLOWING POINTS IN YOUR BLOG TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU HAVE CHOSEN 'LITTLE WHITE LIES' FOR YOUR REVIEW (BUT YOU MUST NOT SIMPLY COPY AND PASTE - GET SOME EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE POINTS):

• LWLs editorial staff are interested in independent, non-mainstream film makers, as well as the usual mainstream movies, reflected in the copy overall, but also in reviews
• there is an interest in the magazine in experimental and alternative styles of film making, often found in short films
• the magazine reports on the nominees and winners of international film festivals - often the first place a short film is showcased
• the magazine targets a student audience (perhaps also specifically students in subjects such as Media, Film, Cultural Studies) , and this is useful for us as many of your films target an audience of your age (students) with film knowledge
• the magazine has strong links with the Picturehouse chain of cinemas, which screens short films every day as part of the main film programme (virgin media shorts)
• no other film magazine carries reviews of short films, instead, usually focussing on very mainstream films (you can provide evidence of this)

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ BOTH BOOKLETS ON THE ANCILLARY TASKS CAREFULLY AND DON' T MISS REMAINING DEADLINES.
THERE ARE ONLY 2 AND A HALF WEEKS NOW TO THE FINAL PORTFOLIO DEADLINE!
