We're holding the fifth Media Studies Awards Ceremony in the new school hall next week where we'll be showcasing some of the outstanding video production work completed by AS Media Studies students over the last year…don't forget it's compulsory to attend if you take Media in the sixth form and it's definitely advisable if you do GCSE too.
This is our annual opportunity to celebrate the superb efforts of the fifty or more Year 12 students whose films will be shown. If you're one of those starring directors or actors then make sure you spread the word about how entertaining it'll be and encourage all your friends to come along. As the first event of its kind in the new school it's set to be a special evening.
Those who do attend will be treated to a succession of clips and short films (both fiction and documentary) representing the very best achievements of 2007, and the winning efforts will receive trophies and certificates from our guest speaker from the BBC.
They include: hard-hitting pieces on eating disorders, domestic violence and Islamophobia; a number of thoughtful investigations into a wide range of topics from the dangers of befriending people over the internet, to political problems in Kurdisatan, to graffiti art; natural history documentary and Bollywood film trailers; and the real-life account of one of our student's near-death experience.
The event takes place in the school hall on Tuesday 16 th October from 6.15-8.45 pm.
Whoever you are – if you have an interest in film or the issues being addressed – then please come along. But make sure you get a ticket - before they all go - as you won't get in without one!
