The whole of the session was aimed at developing student awareness of the demands of THE CROSS-MEDIA STUDY. Students were asked to consider the content of the e-media used to promote RESTREPO, PROJECT NIM, and EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP and consider how the content of these sites could be used to answer the question:
HOW DO THE AUDIENCE BENEFIT FROM THIS E-MEDIA?
The class were then asked to consider how the producer may benefit from this digital marketing.
The lesson moved into a consideration of how to define HYBRID-Documentary and the class watched a segment of Channel Four's THE SECRET MILLIONAIRE. This was the Martin Stamp episode located in Hull.
The class were asked to consider how media forms shape meaning in the Project Nim Trailer and were shown a segment from MAN ON WIRE. The same director created Project Nim and Man On Wire and the success and credible reputation of MOW is used to promote Project Nim.

HOMEWORK: Students are not expected to produce a written homework BUT I do expect students to conduct research that will inform the response to THE CROSS-MEDIA STUDY. Below is a link to ALL the e-media that will provide the foundation of the material for Section B of the exam. Click on link:

OBVIOUSLY, STUDENTS SHOULD ATTEMPT TO VIEW RESTREPO, PROJECT NIM and EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP over the winter break.
Have a fine break media freaks. Be Merry. Drink Sherry. Smack Terry.
Last year I made a CROSS-MEDIA podcast to be used as a revision tool for Year 12. We are not using the same texts, we are looking at Project Nim rather than Man On Wire, but this podcast will offer students an idea of what is expected from the Cross-Media Study and provides some essential contextual information relating to Documentary and Hybrid-Documentary. This podcast also documents my search for the Beverley Westwood Elk and deals with the condition known as the Jazz Trance. Enjoy:

I also created this revision podcast in 2011 to explore issues relating to Section A of the exam:
