Join our Google Classroom!

So we are trying something a little different this year.... We will still use the blog for information sharing and our main port of call for everything media related, but all resources and worksheets will now be posted to Google Classroom (rather than Slideshare). Please sign up to our Year 13 class here:

Music Director Research

Hi all,

So in preparation for Year 13, I would like you to get your creative hats on again and produce a video essay. Video essays are a great way of showing everything you have fouind out about a particular thing in a creative and visual way (see below for a few examples)....

Your task is to research a music video director that you find inspirational and produce a 2-5 minute video essay about them and their work.

This will be due on the first lesson back in September where we will watch your videos as a class, but I have set it now to give you the entire last half term to use the equipment and software if you so wish.  This piece of work will form part of your research for your Year 13 coursework so please take your time with it. I hope your enjoy this task guys... I think it's a good one that you can really get your teeth into!

Ta Ta for now, Miss M!
