Found out our film teacher wasn't in today, first thing Mark and I did was contact her via email to find out if we would have to come in tomorrow as its our only lesson then. A few hours later we had big smiles on our faces as we could sleep in tomorrow if we wanted! I also spent most of this evening sorting out our road trip to Leeds as we have had our egg film shortlisted for one of our competitions! So far we have agreed to drive down and stay the night in a travel lodge and go back in the next day as Chris will be exhausted from the drive down there.
I also watched my second video tape: If.... which was Malcom Mcdowell's acting debut. It's pretty similar in tone to A Clockwork Orange, but it is almost more surreal because of the odd moments that you aren't really sure whether they are happening or not. That said, I did very much enjoy the film as most of the characters are some satirical take on someone else and do like the setting of the boarding school. The film's tag line 'A hand-grenade of a film' is a bit of an exaggeration, but probably apt for its time.
