Initial Assessment

You will need to do a short assessment in English. This is to gauge what level you are at, so we can see if you need any extra help.

So, you will need to get onto the system - if you are on a MAc, log in via RDC. Then -
Click on ‘Start’
then ‘all programmes’
then ‘online exams’
then ‘BKSB Initial Assessments’
then ‘Initial Assessment’
then ‘BKSB Initial Assessment’.

Log in with you name, and where it says 'Reference' put your student ID.
You will need to do the 'Dyslexia Checklist', and then onto 'Maths and English' assessments. Follow the links to 'Quick Checks' and then 'Self Assessment'.

Once you have completed the 'English' test, click on 'results' and print out a copy to give to me.

Please note, if something goes wrong I will ask you to do this in your own time - these results are important!

Lights, Camera, Action!

The first big task in Lights, Camera Action is to copy one of the following scenes. In case you don't have a hard drive just yet, here are the files so you can look at them at home.

Fargo - Bad reception
Fargo - Stressed
Fargo - Something Unsaid
For a Few Dollars More - When the music Stops
Hot Fuzz - Perfect Accent
Raiders of the lost Ark - Drinking Game
Shaun of the Dead - Girl in the garden
Sherlock Holmes - It's not a date.

Copying scenes or films is called Swedeing. You make every attempt to copy the elements of the film, but you do not have to be completely accurate - you can dress the set differently, even cast it differently. You just need to keep the dialogue the same, and copy the camera movement and framing as closely as you can.
