Having looked at your blogs I am concerned that there is a lot of work missing for some of you. I have put together a checklist of what work we have covered and, therefore, what should be posted on your blog. You will need to catch up on this work before we move on.

Year 12 lesson - 4/11/14
Continuation of Audiences and Institutions using the previously posted powerpoint up to slide 23. Tasks for the lesson included researching a Media Company to see what aspects of Media it either owns or is involved with and a table comparing audiences from the 1960s to present day, thinking about how they have changed.
Ongoing task is based on slide 23, with a specific focus on film. You will need to build a case study around a major film company and an independent one and knowing how the film industry has changed over time will help develop your understanding.
Could you also make sure your notes for this week's lessons are posted before Monday 10th November so I can give them a quick look. Also, don't forget you should be working on your preliminary tasks or looking ahead to see what other coursework tasks you could be doing.

Item of Interest
I had an email regarding the following event which sounds quite interesting. Certainly if you were thinking of using your A level to go into film making it would be worth a look. It is in Cambridge which is a bit of a trek however if several of you wanted to go I'm sure you would be able to sort something out.
It is in the day time but for year 13 this is a Media Day so I would be happy to allow you the time to attend rather than coming in. Year 12s I don't know your timetable and therefore couldn't say whether you'd be able to get the permission needed to attend. If you are interested I'd suggest discussing with any teachers you may have on that day.

This is
the first thrilling adaptation of the bestselling Department Q crime novels by
Jussi Adler-Olsen. Carl Mørck (Kaas, The Killing) is a disgraced
detective who is reassigned to a basement-bound job filing cold cases in the
newly created Department Q. He is also allocated a new assistant, Assad
(Fares), a smart young cop. Always one to go against orders, Mørck throws them
headlong into the mystery of a politician’s disappearance five years
earlier. Believing the case to be unsolved, they embark on a dangerous
journey that will lead them into the dark underworld of
Copenhagen.
