The 60 minute script

After having written the bible I decided to write an entire outline for the pilot episode, thinking it would be fine to do that episode, I spent a long time doing it and enjoyed the story I came out with immensely. As I began to do work on bringing it out in a proper script, today I got told I'm actually not allowed to do the pilot.

SO instead I am starting an outline of the eleventh episode in our series, but it is going to be tough as there is not so much story in this episode, but it is one that I have worked on and I think there is a lot of potential as it is a turning point within several characters lives in the series.

Sent out my CV and covering letter

After compiling quite a complete list of companies I decided to send off my covering letter in an email with the CV attached to all the companies I could get to. I also scoured the internet for internship ideas and availability and added those e-mails to the list and also added some other places of interest I found.

We were also told about an internship for 12 months with Working Title which I also wrote out and applied for, and also a couple separate schemes with the BBC and Channel Four.

I sent the e-mail out to about 12 people, I now await the responses.

Writing the CV

So, today I decided to spend the day working on my CV. I have already got a CV but I guess there's this whole MEdia School template we are supposed to follow or at least imitate so I merged the two and attempted to cut it down to be a page like they said it should be. However I have had quite a few jobs and it is difficult to cut them down and still explain what I did in them. But eventually I managed to get it somewhere near what I wanted, but I wasn't sure about it so I sent it to some members of staff at the media school and to my Step Mother who is very good at this kind of thing being a big head teacher and all. I also worked on my covering letter and sent her that.

As the final part of the Online Element of the Censorship and Regulation unit, I’ve been tasked with commenting on these photos as the Mothers Against Guns (MAG) would.
































We at MAG, although being of a large christian contingent, wish to help anyone affected by gun crime and hope only that the teachings of Christ will aid in helping people realise that gun crime and gun culture is wrong.

We believe that teaching children about safe sex should be completely up to the mother, however this has little to do with our organisation or our aims.

This picture neither encourages gun crime nor discourages it and as such we at MAG have no real opinion on it.

This image is an example of where news of violent crimes has become so-called "art" and as such puts the perpetrator in the same light as a celebrity. We do not agree with this, at least for young people to be witnessing it increases their likelihood to lose a moral compass and think that commiting crime is "cool".

MAG believes that the widespread reporting of violent crimes in the news is bad enough, but when kids are able to download violent videos off the internet on sites such as Youtube.com things become more complicated. Personally MAG thinks there should be stronger controls on such content, especially to children, mandatory use of nanny filters and the like when online.

MAG has no opinion about this poster.

Mag has no opinion on this picture as long as children will not be watching.

MAG supports charity work in poorer countries as well as in the UK and likes the idea of building awarenes, especially among young people.

Again, as long as children are not seeing this kind of image, MAG holds no offical view.

This video is again indicative of lower standards of censorship online and it leads MAG to be very worried that young people could be watching violent films and the disrespecting of women which is often considered part and parcel of todays rising gun culture.

MAG strongly disagrees with this new game, it breads a new level of disgusting violence aimed primarily for our children to play. It is this rising level of violent games that leads to young people being desensitized, which makes them more at risk of being drawn into Gun culture. We heavily protested this being released and are furious that the ban has been lifted on this poor excuse for a game. We hope that no children will ever play it.

Jerry Springer encourages violence on his shows and as such we dislike his syle and the way he bates young people especially into violent actions, we think he may also be inciting violence with his opera show. We hope that all mothers out there do not allow their children to watch such tripe and keep their children away from such violent shows. People do not really act like they do on the Jerry Springer show and children should be well aware that the shows "guest's" behaviours are unnacceptable in real society.

The series Bible

My group have let me down once again and I am left to pick up the pieces with Will. We seem to be the only ones who give a damn about this series and all the stories involved, I guess this is the difficulty in working with other writers, especially those that don't care too much for the idea.
I think this is my fault a little as I have taken this project onboard, with Will, and together we almost solely made it ours and made it something good.

MAG: Mothers against guns

The "Mothers against guns" group is an offshoot of a similarAmerican movement, set up by the mother of Damian Cope (shot and killed in 2002) Lucy Cope, and it aims to prevent more young people in Britain becoming victims of gun crime. The organisation calls for people to set up campaign groups in their communities, to help those affected by loss due to gun crime and to see an end to Britain's rising gun culture. Originally based in London it now has meetings and rallies all over the country all through the year.
The initiative uses high profile campaigns to highlight the dangers of gun crime, and to lobby the government to introduce harsher penalties for people convicted of gun-related crime. They wish the government to remove all types of guns (including toy guns) and the largest current campaigning issue for Mothers Against Guns is the wholesale ban of replica weapons.
They are pro-censorship in the sense they believe that new violent films and video games encourage gun crime among young people. They call for stricter methods of censorship regarding these matters, and often lobby for total bans on violent games such as the recent Manhunt 2 and they are especially against the use of "laser" guns in video games and in arcades because they "glorify gun violence".
