Media Awards - Homework

First of all, make sure you attend as it's compulsory! If you don't have a ticket yet then see Mr Halsey asap as we've held back a number of £5 tickets (sorry, the cheaper ones have all gone!) for Y12 Media students so there are no excuses!

Then, watch the films carefully on the night, thinking about them from the perspective of what you've learned over the last half term - use the Y12 Videos 2015 YouTube playlist to remind you of their features...

  • Choose your two favourite Y12 productions;
  • Create a blog entry - on your MEST2 blog - in which you say what you think the best production was and why...
  • Write a detailed review for each of your two favourites making sure you comment on:
    • Film Language - mise-en-scene, cinematography, sound, editing;
    • MCCAT - Media language (again), Conventions, Creativity, Attention to detail, Technical Proficieny...These are the key criteria by which an A Level production is judged.
  • Remember to include as much media terminology as possible (and highlight it).
  • Produce a 200+ word summary entitled: "What Makes A Good Practical Production" (the speech you hear by a Y13 student will help with this).

Deadline - first lesson after half term.
