WELCOME BACK MEDIA SHIPMATES. This has been a very gentle start to the A2 Media Studies course. We have discussed the IMPACT OF DIGITAL MEDIA and how the BBC have embraced the potential of the digital world. IT IS CRUCIAL THAT STUDENTS ARE AWARE OF HOW THE BBC USES DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY TO OFFER THE AUDIENCE A DECENT MEDIA SERVICE. We will be returning to the digital significance of the BBC in future lessons.
The main task offered to students is the challenge of creating a trailer to be used to advertise the 2014 Humber Street Sesh. The Macs have 20 minutes of raw footage that I captured at the 2013 Humber Street Sesh and the task is to shape this footage into a decent promotional film. Mark Page, the director of the Humber Street Sesh, has agreed to select the most impressive trailer and he has stated that, if the work is good, he may use the most impressive trailer to promote next year's event! No pressure then kids!
Here is a link to the documentary that I created in August that attempts to capture the spirit of the event and the personality of the inspirational Mr.Page. Click on link below:

The aim of this creative task is to re-introduce students to film editing and develop the skills that will be required to create A2 coursework. The work I saw today was very accomplished. KEEP IT UP.
Homework:
Despite the fact that classwork will be creative and practical for the next two sessions, it is important that students watch, digest, and comprehend the information being presented by the resources below. I expect ALL students to visit these resources:
