The aim of this task was to develop the critical skills appropriate for MEST3 Section A in the exam. The question that students were asked to consider was:
How is the experience of War represented within these two texts?
Students were then asked to consider ideas for creating creative media.
HOMEWORK: Attempt the representation question and develop ideas for creative media. Next week we need to structure ideas in preparation for creating two/three films that explore issues relating to the impact of digital media. We need to develop narrative ideas before we begin filming so bring some ideas to the lesson next week. I will plan a 'conventional' lesson that I will deliver IF you lot fail to offer some decent ideas for the creative media. For example, if we are making a documentary, what are the questions that will navigate the viewer through the film? What questions should we ask and why? What are we trying to investigate? Give it some thought.
How great was it to see BR? GOOD LUCK BETH!! YOU ARE MISSED IN MEDIA WORLD. Hope you like the photo!
