Tues 5 Feb

Yr12 Applied

Continuation of finishing stuff that should've been finished yesterday.



Yr12 Film

Discussed the 3D success of Hannah Montana: differentiated Hollywood product from Home Ent/Internet; premium pricing to increase revenue in a mature market; counter programming against SuperBowl.



Brief discussion on role of Film Council which should be researched to find out about how it supports, and what type of films it supports or 18 Feb.


Yr13 Film
Introduction to melodrama. Examples of its concerns and brief history; it is a bourgeois form that was once progressive (against the aristrocracy). Extract from Meet Me in St Louis - a subversive destruction of the family.

What makes Babel a melodrama?

Yr13 Media
Poorly done essay (mostly) so do it again for 20 Feb: 'Genres embody ideological values.' Discuss with reference with one genre. Those who did it should use different case studies.

Extracts from Day the Earth Stood Still and Silent Running.
