looking good francis, a great start. be careful not to get too ambitious though, keep a tight rein on your focus area, as this project is time-limited.
have a go at some labels, video and links
dr p suggested i wait to buy your books until after thursday as he is sure the bfi will have them all and you could make a decision then about which are the best 3 for you or sonmething like that. the books come to £80 for all of them so obviously if you can narrow it down that would be great. does that sound ok? ms blackborow
