TV Drama Update

There are lots of other media blogs out there that you may find useful to look at, namely because they contain ready-made youtube clips that you could analyse for extra revision. They often also contain other student's responses to these clips which you can compare to your own, to see whether you going in-depth enough in your responses.

I look forward to seeing all of your Life On Mars essays by Wednesday. Well done Tasha and Sophie for already submitting yours!

This will be our last week on TV Drama before moving onto Section B. That doesn't mean that you should stop watching TV Drama or that we won't do any more exam prep for it!!

TV Drama you should be watching:

Being Human (BBC3 Sundays 9pm)

Upstairs Downstairs

Happy New Year Media Students! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas break. However it is back to the grindstone for us, so may I remind you that I expect to see some work on Upstairs Downstairs appearing on your blogs soon.

We will spend some time working on period dramas over the next couple of weeks.

Some to watch are:

Brideshead Revisited

Pride & Prejudice

Tess of the D'Ubervilles

Downton Abbey

Upstairs Downstairs

Because period drama has been very popular recently, it could well pop up in the exam. . . . .
