In our lesson we were designing our posters on West Side Story. After we had finish, we all came back together in our groups and shared our ideas around. From each poster we commented on how they can improve and what went well. In my poster, I had to work on the font and also the colour. The positive thing that went well was: the way I placed the pictures, text and also the Dunraven logo. While my group were carrying on with poster, Ms Taylor gave me another job to do. I had to plan out the lessons on what we will be doing until the end of this project.

Tuesday 3rd November
Tuesday 3rd of November
On Tuesday we were split in to two groups, the trailers, and the poster. I decided to work with the poster group, because I found it creative. I would have loved to work and also film, with the trailer group, but I wanted to give other people a chance to learn how to use a camcorder. This is because I have had many experiences with camcorders and different types of editing software. In our group there were 4 people, each of us had to come up with a brief poster design for West Side Story. Here are few of the ideas that we came up with in our group, explaining about what we should include in our poster.
· Background (bricks)
· Slogan
· Colours that we have to include in our poster (red, blue and yellow)
· Title
· Venue
· Pictures
· Different types of Font
At the end of the lesson, we presented our ideas to the class, explaining what an excellent poster must include. We also showed the class our sketches on the posters and had few feedbacks on how we can improve it.

I'm glad to see that you have started to organise your blog into one. You have also include many detailed responses. To improve, you need to complete missing work. Blog after everyone lesson and include images such as video link and photographs. Your blog does not reflect the hard work you have put into your poster. Get it in there.

Review on the short films we watched at the BFI.
I found the story interesting and a bit scary. It shows how people with a mental disorder behave. I also found it emotional, due to the fact that the husband did not recognise his wife.
The story was set in a house. The way how costumes were used in the film was productive, because when they show the husband in a young age, he is wearing casual clothes. But at the end when the director shows the husband at his real form, he is wearing his nightwear.
Sound, music and special effects are used to create a distressing and up beating atmosphere.
The person who I think is important is the husband, because the story line is based on himself and his illness.
I recommend that people should watch this film, because it shows, how a mental disorder person would act and also how members of the family have to respond towards their life.
The mark that I award to this short film is 10/10

Review on ‘Every good boy deserves favour’.
A dissident is locked up in an asylum. If he accepts that he was ill. He has been treated and is now cured, he will be released, but he refuses. Sharing his cell is a real lunatic, who believes himself to be surround by an orchestra. The dissident son begs his father to free himself with a lie. Tom stopparels devely funny play asks if denying the truth is a price worth paying for liberty.
