This was a messy session as we had audio issues and a fire-alarm!! Students explained why their images represented their view of Beverley and the class discussed the representation of Beverley students in this BBC Look North segment:

YEAR 13 LESSON FOURTEEN [6th Nov 15]: Homework

Today's session was the first of our creative editing sessions. All the material is available on the Macs and the task is to produce a two minute film that encourages people to visit Hull and East Yorkshire.

HOMEWORK: Continue to review and edit material in the library. I expect students to be using independent study time to edit the film.

YEAR 13 LESSON THIRTEEN [3rd Nov 15]: Homework

This session discussed the nature of the creative task that we will begin in Friday's lesson. We examined the 2017 Hull City of Culture bif film and discussed the film created by the Dundee bid. The session moved on to discuss ideas for coursework and students were shown some work from last year.

HOMEWORK: Some students owe me homework. I expect it to be handed to me on Friday....Can you hear me Keira and Chloe????  Some students need to hand me the content of their filming. I need it before Friday as I want all content available to ALL students.
STUDENTS NEED TO RETURN BORROWED EQUIPMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

YEAR 12 LESSON THIRTEEN [2nd Nov 15]: Homework

The aim of today's session was to revisit the critical skills that will be required for the exam. The main resource was the film that was created for Hull's 2017 City of Culture bid. Click on link to access resource:

Class discussion considered possible content for the homework task that was placed on the blog last week. Class discussion was excellent and most students decided that they would like to 'bin' their response to the homework and have some time to produce a more appropriate media response.

HOMEWORK: Complete the questions that link to the City of Culture film [see last blog entry]. Students also need to email me a jpeg that captures their own representation of the town of Beverley. Students will be expected to explain to the class why their single image captures their own mediated representation of Beverley. BE ORIGINAL. Try and avoid cliche. I need all jpegs before the lesson as I need to place your images on the blog.
