The lesson began with a critical analysis of the following trailers with the focus being placed on the students ability to use media language in an appropriate manner. This then moved into a consideration of a Section A question relating to the construction of enigma codes.

Evaluate how the two trailers use enigma codes to encourage the target audience to watch the films.
The session then 'moved the conversation forward' [spew] to consider the IMPACT OF DIGITAL MEDIA. Class discussion considered the MEST3 Section B question:
'THE INTERNET IS A DEMOCRATIC SPACE WHERE WE ARE ALL FREE TO PARTICIPATE EQUALLY.'
