SQN Mixing is my job on set and thus I have been doing some research to figure out the best way to do this.
IDEAL POSITION:
The ideal position for the SQN sound control wheel is between 10-12 O'clock as this gives limited amount of background chatter and noise with an optimum amount of clear direct sound.
BUTTONS:
Gang switch OFF!
Limiter (WHITE) switched to Manual mode (This controls peaks and gives a smooth roll off)
Attenuator (UNDER WHEEL) Off

Excellent night last night at The Cube Cinema, Bristol. With students from FdA Film & Media Arts Production presenting their work as part of BlueScreen. Jimmy and I also showed our own shorts.
Great to see their films up on the big screen, with a packed audience and brilliant for the students to showcase their work alongside other film makers from the region. The quality and range of films is always impressive.
We plan to take even more films to the next events: March 25th and May 20th. Helps spread word amongst Film community about our course and film makers.
Short film shot entirely handheld on the Canon C100 camera. Involves zero dialogue to progress the plotting. Sorry about the sound issues.

This post is a collection of responses, by artists, philosophers and political theorists after the horrific attacks in Paris last week.
'No one can have anything but the profoundest condemnation for the attacks on the Paris offices of the satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo. There can be no justification for the attack. It should be possible to satirise or to criticise ideas without this being something that can result in death or injury. There must, however, be a response to it that does not lead either to an increase in future terrorist attacks or in a rise in attacks on Muslims.' Lindsey German 07 January 2015 Read More.

'To many Muslims, any image of the prophet Muhammad is sacrilegious, but the ban has not always been absolute and there is a small but rich tradition of devotional Islamic art going back more than seven centuries that does depict God’s messenger.' writes Emma Graham-Harrison. Drawing the prophet: Islam’s hidden history of Muhammad images. The Observer, Saturday 10 January 2015 22.16 GMT
The Mohammed Image Archive site explains that "Medieval Muslim artists often created paintings and illuminated manuscripts depicting Mohammed in full. Other artists of the era drew Mohammed, but left his face blank so as to technically comply with a sporadically enforced Islamic ban on depicting the Prophet."
"The inspiration for this Archive came from the global controversy over the publication of Mohammed cartoons in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, and the need for a comprehensive and even-handed look at the wide variety of Mohammed depictions in Islamic and Western societies from the Middle Ages until today. It will remain online as a resource for those interested in freedom of expression." Link

Amongst the most ludicrous of media responses was this: "Terrorism expert Steven Emerson claimed on US news channel Fox News that non-Muslims do not go to Birmingham, which he said had become a “totally Muslim” city." "His claims drew immediate criticism and ridicule under a hashtag mocking the channel’s comments, with many taking the opportunity to unearth inaccurate reports on Fox News.
