Nothing else booked so far. We can discuss borrowing of equipment over Christmas depending on how reliable and efficient your group has been so far. You would need to stay in touch with other groups to share equipment equitably and remember that you would be responsible for it at all times.

After Christmas, there will be further opportunities to shoot outside lessons but by then, it really should be a reshoot or additional footage if necessary.

Under no circumstance should you be off-site during Media lesson time unless previously agreed. A letter is being sent home this weekend to explain it all to parents / carers. There is a reply slip to bring back as well, bearing parental signature. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO GO ON A SHOOT OR BORROW EQUIPMENT IF YOU FAIL TO BRING BACK THE REPLY SLIP.

Finally, when borrowing any equipment, you must fill in and sign a yellow EQUIPMENT RELEASE FORM, available in the Media pod. When filming is completed, you must bring back the equipment and make sure the cameras are charged or left charging in the pod.

Aim to upload footage ASAP. Use the Log and Transfer function in Final Cut, making sure that you save your project first in the way you have been shown (change scratchdisk to your folder - see instructions in the pod if you have forgotten)
