MISSING ELEMENTS OF THE FILMING DEADLINE

Some groups have not completed all of the tasks needed for the deadline last Friday.
For example, there are missing photos from the shoot, needed for poster drafts, and some missing audience feedback. These still need to be provided to avoid losing marks as individuals.

Final edit (vision and sound) completed, and filed in correct folder. 

On the group blog by the deadline below:

- Evaluative and illustrated discussion of editing (image and sound) decision making.
- Documentation of any image editing effects used and why
- Audience feedback used in editing decision making process.
- Evaluative and illustrated discussion about sound editing – dialogue, foleys and music (techniques used, sources used, reasoning behind decision making).
- Discussion of film titles and credits used (making parallels to real media texts).
