Plan for next two weeks

Please take note of the plan for the next two weeks of lessons.


There will be a more comprehensive term plan available soon which will involve a preliminary schedule for your practical productions as well as the MEST1 course breakdown.


On Friday as I said in class you will be engaged in a short practical exercise to be shot on video and edited in class. In addition I will be issuing you with the course handbook which cost about £3 to produce, so please look after it and take note that you will have to pay for any replacements.


Could I also recommend that you start keeping a file for Media as I will periodically issue you with hand-outs which it would be sensible to keep hold of for revision purposes. 


In preparation for Friday please watch some TV or films with the sound down and think about how (if at all) narrative is created.
