HAPPY CHRISTMAS FROM TEAM MEDIA AND FILM


The Media and Film Department would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and success with all your studies in 2009. Thank you for all of your hard work this year so far. We are all really looking forward to seeing your Media and Film work develop next year as we move towards coursework completion in year 10 and 11, and exam preparation for those of you in Year 11. The mock exams are looking very positive and we are therefore also looking forward to sharing those grades with you in the New Year and having an opportunity to celebrate your achievements, and refine your work in order to realise your full potential in the all important forthcoming months. 

Enjoy your holidays and have a well deserved rest. See you in 2009!

Year 10 Media - Film Poster Project



I found this interesting little video about Film poster design and the concept of 'Floating Heads' that might help you with your Research and Planning for your own film poster production. The following links might also help you with research into film posters and how they create meaning for audiences. 

A super site but you will need to search the archives and links for the good stuff!

This excellent slideshow shows how film poster 'Typography' creates subtle meaning for audiences:
