This week in media studies

Here's a rundown of what's going on in Summer II week 2, AKA 11th-15th June 2018. 

Rough cut deadline: final lesson this week


You will be required to submit a 30 second rough cut to your teacher. This will be viewed by the class. Rough means rough. We're not expecting a finished product. But make sure you export the 30 best seconds of your production. The feedback you receive for this cut will influence the critical final two weeks of your music video production. 

ARU trip - still places available!


There are still places available on the ARU trip. Please give your slips in directly to Michael or Jack, and not the shop as previously asked. We strongly recommend you take the opportunity to attend this trip, as you will get hands on practical and theoretical experience of media at undergraduate level. It will also greatly help you with the media A-level, so come along even if uni's not on your horizon at the moment.

Perfect shot activity


Please screen-cap a shot which is indicative of your video's excellent quality. You choose the shot, but think carefully about how this shot will capture the imagination of your target audience. If Michael is your teacher, please submit via the submissions folder. If Jack is your teacher, ask him how to submit it.

Follow this path to submit your 'perfect shot'


Mock results


Your mocks will be returned on the first lesson of the week commencing Monday 18th June. You will find feedback on the blog. Some of you will have to resit one or more questions. In general, resits will be completed as homework. Please see them as a valuable opportunity to increase your ability in media studies.
