Friday 11th October 2013

 In today's Media Studies lesson, we started of the lesson by watching our one minute TV dramas that we had filmed for homework. Whilst watching these we were looking at the different camera angles, setting and props used in each TV drama. We had to come up with a storyline and work in groups of four to film these. Below you can see my groups school TV drama:
 
 
After we had watched these, we watched a scene of waterloo road. Whilst watching this we were split into four groups where we were each given a topic to write about. There was a choice of:
 
-Camera Angles
-Costume/Props
-Setting
-Sound
 
I had to write about costume. Therefore whilst watching the episode I had to write about what costume was used and why these were used. For example, a teacher was wearing a suit, he was wearing a suit to represent the fact he was a teacher and to make him look smart and stand out from the pupils and it is what you would expect from a teacher. Once we watched this a few times and got all of our notes, we got into groups and shared what we had found. I joined people who took notes on camera angles, setting  and sound. After we had finished writing our notes we had to put this into an essay. In our essay we had to write about all of the media techniques used in this episode and why they were used, is it to interest the audience etc?
 
Once we had completed the essay, we watched a one minute clip on the TV drama Downton Abbey and our homework was to write about the contrast in the TV drama.
