Media Studies Conference
Our Year 13 Media A Level students enjoyed a great day at a conference on Wednesday this week. A leading speaker on Youth, Media and Identity gave the students a fascinating history of youth subcultures and concepts of 'We Media' as part of a morning of lectures, with Mr Seal as a last minute stand-in in place of a poorly Chief Examiner. The afternoon included a screening of the wonderful 2011 film Submarine, followed by a presentation and Q&A with the film's producer, Ally Gipps of Warp Films, who gave our students a great insight into getting into the film industry. The event, which was the first A Level Media Studies Conference in the region, was organised through a collaboration between CNS Media department and Cinema City, with students from several different schools in attendance and we're looking forward to running another conference in 2013. A great event.
