HOMEWORK: Students need to think about the focus of their CRITICAL INVESTIGATION and the nature of the LINKED PRODUCTION. On Thursday we will be creating visual material that can be used to produce simple print media. BRING SOME IDEAS. Perhaps we can produce some simple images to promote the sixth form. How could we promote the sixth form using a simple visual image? We only have each other and a backdrop so how can we shape meaning? We will be creating a series of portraits so think about how we can manipulate the imagery to shape a positive representation of the sixth form? Or Media Studies? Or create an image that explores ideas relating to internet security? The choice is yours.....BRING SOME IDEAS. We will have one hour to make our ideas become REAL. Should be a laugh. See you there. Bring a memory stick as you will be leaving the classroom with some JPGs.
