Over the next three years you will create some amazing production work, learn a huge amount about analysing the media and end up with a GCSE in Media Studies. All you need to do is work hard and be creative!
Your first job is to start your GCSE Media blog and sign up to Google Classroom.
Once you have your blog URL, email it to your teacher. The URL is the address on the browser that ends with .blogspot.co.uk or similar. For example:
Mr Pall's blog: http://mediamacguffingcse.blogspot.co.uk/
IMPORTANT: It is absolutely essential you remember your log-in details for this blog - it is your Media work book for next three years. Make sure you do the following:

Watch this clip from acclaimed BBC drama series Doctor Who:
What aspects of this scene do you think an audience might enjoy? List at least three things and explain why the audience would enjoy each aspect.
Note: If the YouTube clip isn't working please let your Media teacher know. While you're waiting for the issue to be resolved, read up on this episode of Doctor Who on the brilliant IMDB website.

Finish these questions for homework if you don't manage to get through them in the lesson - due date on Google Classroom.
If you DO finish everything - well done! Spend some time looking through our Media blog, particularly at last year's Media student blogs. This will give you an idea of the fantastic work you will be producing over the next three years.
