Blogger of the Week

Well done this week to Isadora, who is up to date with all her blog posts and used an interesting media - PowerPoint online - embedded in her blog for one of her posts. The competition was very tricky this week. At A2, it's Lizzy, who has completed a magnificent 42 posts and filmed some fabulous shots for her short film. Blog on, everyone!

Huge well done to Lauren B at AS this week for being the first to reach 20 blog posts and for blogging really well about our cameraman visit, foley sound and the Harry Potter Tour. And at A2, well done to Charlotte for getting to 40 blog posts (half way there!) and keeping us completely up to date with her planning decisions so far. Blog on!

Warner Bros Tour

Thank you to all those who made the Warner Bros Tour such a pleasure this week. Art, Business, ICT and Media students combined to learn all about Movie Marketing and actually handle the costumes and props used in the film - in a locked room for security!

Enjoy the video:

Final Blogger of the Week of this Academic Year!

Dear Bloggers

It has been a fantastic year for Media Studies at St Mary's, culminating in Jess's shortlisting for the Media Magazine Production Awards for her film opening. Well done, Jess, and we're off to the Awards tomorrow!

Also well done to Lizzy for achieving the last Blogger of the Week. Not only has she completed her Preliminary Task, but she has also created a separate blog for exam work and written a fab post on Laura Mulvey and the Male Gaze.

Have a great summer, everyone. Watch films and blog prolifically!
