Summer 2012: A2 Coursework Blogs (G324)

The students had a brief of creating a package centring on a music video but also including ancillary texts of a digipak album cover and a magazine ad for this - with the extensive Research + Planning, plus an Evaluation, all evidenced on the individual blogs hyperlinked below.

At the time of writing (September 2011), we're just starting this year's coursework, but you can view the rather superb productions from 2010-11 on our YouTube channel playlist, and see the various digipacks/ads in those students' multimedia-rich blogs. As with last year, a playlist will shortly appear featuring behind-the-scenes mini-docs, vodcasts, rough cuts etc of our 2011-12 A2 students' work.

2012 PLAYLIST:

UPDATE: Another hugely successful year, with the average coursework beating last year's 79% ... now exceeding 80% (the starting point for an A-grade!), and 74% of these students emerging with a final grade of A*-B. Our proud record of national recognition continues with two of the videos successfully entered into the Co-Op's National Young Filmmakers Festival, and screened before a large audience in November 2012. A feature-length documentary DVD, including all of the final videos, tracking these students through their two years of Media Studies is available!
