Comparison, which of these (professional) videos is better ? Which one has changed mise en scene more and has a range of cmaera anagles and locations. The obviously better one was filmed in E2 , the only difference is that you guys live around NW1!! You can make a video better than these.. some good camera shots in these though .. influences>??

What do you think of this new BEYONCE track? .. loads and loads of post production sslick editing effects but generally a very tasteful and stylish use of locations, costume, mise en scen etc.. could it inspire your projects ??Think about what we were syaing about creativity as well and how you need inspiration fomr all sorts of different sources.. a lot of the Beyonce video is influenced by

Welcome back Media Students and hope we have another successful year. Last year's yr11s absolutely smashed it and got amazing GCSE results (89% A* - C) so they are officially the greatest Media Studies year group of all time probably anywhere.. but I know that can be beaten current year 11s surely we can get 100% of students a C or above this year Also amazing A2 levels as well with everyone

Hey studying the Media is great, tahts obvious but getting paid to work in the Meida is even better surely? anyway i guess you guys have to get a job sometime so if you want a career doing something that is er.. cool ! then why not apply to this Channel 4 inspiration say. They want young creative people just like you. http://4talent.channel4.com/getstarted/kickstart/idlGo on it could be the start

So wikileaks have released loads of classified information to us through the press. Is this real journalism? Is this dangerous and should they be really giving people this kind of information ?This i s especially useful if you are studying A2 media studies and need to write an essay about Media Democracy.But even if you don't study media studies its still really useful.. and ... interesting !!

Ok so for any level of media studies to achieve and A you need to demonstrate creativity and flair. This is hard and requires...... independent thought. Or does it... why not steal someones ideas and change it .... just look at how James Cameron got his idea for Avatar.. its really just Pocahontas.. or whatever that Disney film was called...

What makes a good music video ?? What are you favourites? please let me know by commenting here as i am trying to collect and research interesting clips for a new scheme of work on music videos... I am tired of seeing the same old RnB videos with a guy writhing around in his 'ice' whilst a) cars go buy b) girls go by c) girls and cars go by, then all his mates jump around behind him pointing

I know i am always banging on about this.. but it really helps if your shots are well thought out and composed.. dont be afraid to use lots of closeups and use high and low angles for effect.. look at this clip of the Matrix (lego version) look how interesting this scene is using lots of closeups!! Yours should do this too if you film is all shot in medium long shot i will go crazy and your mark

We have been doing a lot of work about the topic of representations recently of all kinds of people but seeing as we will be doing more work in future around magazines and advertising i thought i would include this here... its a shocking image of a Ralph Lauren advert. The advert was an example of attempts to 'slim down' the model using photoshop although it looks totally out of proportion.. it

Right then i know i was telling you about how to secure your blog against comments and stuff and you probably know a lot about how to be safe online but i thought i would share these actually really creepy ads from America about how to be safe online... what do you think ??? are they a little much and do they sort of miss the point that people can still be bullied whether they are online or not..

Right then this is mainly to the year 11s... you need to get all your coursework in to Mr Sloan before the date in the poster (the 25th of February, the first lesson back after half term). Also thanks to the success of the internet shame campaign i did below with teh year 13s and putting their pictures on the internet to get back my equipment i might be tempted to put the faces of those people

Please check the relevant Blogs for updates but just generally, nearly all year groups (apart from year 10) are doing some film projects at the moments. This should already be common sense but just generally...1. No you are not allowed to put red paint on the walls, or anywhere it doesnt come off.. i have some fake blood if you need it.2.

Did any one watch this ??? I actually missed it, but it looks greAat and perfect for the year 11s who should be stealing and borrowing the ideas used throughout this kind of programme in their horror films. So was it scary? was it enjoyable ?? i have heard good things.. i have included the trailer below and a link to the channel 4 website for the 5 part series where you can watch all of the

Oh yes thats right Quentin Tarantino's classic gets the SCCS makeover.... of course we do it justice...err maybe!Ok so we are up against arguably Samuel L Jackson's finest acting perfomrance, an electric script and a milestone in movie history but thats no problem for the yr12 media studies class at South Camden.We attamepted to make this a shot for shot remake but we did have a few problems, ok

Well typical isnt it just i get used to blogs and setting up all these useful resources on here someone comes along to tell me taht blogging is going to be over taken by 'micro social-networking'! Whatever that is !I have used twitter for ages (see the twitter sidebar on this blog further down the page) but i have never really seen the use of it. However i think if all the media students had

So one of the greatest actors of all time died at the weekend.

Trust me this guy was siiiiick !!!Check out some of his finest moments below... and HERE is an article explaining why

As mentioned last week, we are going to watch a horror film as part of the preperation for your practical work. Dont worry it wont be terrifying but it is scary and one of the most brilliant films made in the last couple of years. I will keep it a bit of a secret i think but its definately something you dont want to miss and we should have a good laugh. But its only open to those of you who have

Why should you choose Media Studies ? Is it actually important?? Can you get a good job if you study it ?? Will you end up as a media studies teacher with 'dry' jokes and no friends ?? Or can you become rich and famous as a result of your media knowledge?Here are some reasons why we all should study it.........CLICK HERE

Above is a clip of the finale to ; The good, The Bad and The Ugly, (Sergio Leone, 1966). One of the greatest movies ever made... the seminal spaghetti western, universally loved, a musical score that has never been forgotten and a masterclass in editing...Below is our version: The good the bad and the Banana - the SCCS remake. Made in only 2 hours just this Monday, this version is a triumph

If you could choose what topics to cover in media studies then what would you like to do ? The best thing about this subject is that we all encounter it so much outside of school and it is always developing, the problem for me as a teacher sometimes though is not knowing which part of it to tap into to keep you guys the students interested. I thought that computer games work we did that teh year

Just to show you that the skills you learn in Media Studies are transferrable to the real world !! Why you can go from media studies ace to the Iranian defence publicity team in no time if you can use photoshop !! To be honest its just a reminder that all the photos you see in newspapers in every country are doctored and have been changed to some extent, yet people always see them as 'fact' if
