Happy New Year!

Welcome back to A Level Media - we hope you had a brilliant holiday and are refreshed and ready for a very busy term ahead.

You'll be writing Critical Investigation final drafts and making your linked productions over the next few weeks. In fact, you'll be writing your production brief next week and starting a 30-second recreation task to refresh those practical skills from last year. It's a lot to do and remember the Spring Term is a short, sharp 12-week term!

On the exam side, you'll be doing an in-depth case study on an aspect of new and digital media that you're particularly interested in to add to the work we've done on News. Before that, we'll be looking at the other side of the exam - Identities in the Media. This will bring in the riots, post-colonial theory, feminism and how we represent ourselves in modern media. We've got a brilliant conference at the BFI on the New and Digital Media coming up in a couple of weeks too.

Remember: you've got a MEST3 Section B assessment on Friday (New and Digital Media essay) so make sure you are revising EVERYTHING you've learned last term.

There's an A grade waiting for you if you're willing to put the work in - good luck!
