A2 MEDIA STUDIES: THE FILM INDUSTRY

The Cornerhouse, Manchester (Photo credit: dullhunk)

We will begin by studying the film industry and so it is advisable for you to look in your study guides and doing some background research its history and the people who influence this powerful and popular medium.

I enclose some links on how to study.  Some of you may think this is unnecessary given your impressive grades but there is always room for improvement.

Technology Eh?

Summer is a time for rest and relaxation - NOT!  I sound like Borat! 

No.  It is of course a time for fiddling and experimenting with... new technology, well technology I might view as new but is probably seen as first generation to you good followers. So I'm using Blogger via a Google Nexus 7 to see if I can post from it. Fingers crossed. Oh why can't everything be simple quill and pen anymore? 

CONGRATULATIONS!

A MASSIVE well done to all my classes for your excellent results.  All your hard-work and dedication certainly paid off.  Congratulations!

Even Cliff wanted to add his best wishes!  The quality widget on Youtube clearly did not work!

STRETCH AND CHALLENGE

Giving the students the opportunity to create their own media blog modelled on this one, has proven extremely engaging. This has formed part of their homework as they can post their independent research onto their blog.  We all become followers of each other's blogs and share information, making  it an independent yet collaborative activity.
