The Cutting Edge (Movie Editing Documentary)

Create a Blog Task

Ladies and gentlemen,

The internet is a rapidly growing medium for communication and information. Therefore, it will be a frequently used tool in this class.

The Blog is a form of online journal – your task today is to create one. You will use it to post homework, communicate with each other, complete assignments, record your Media Journal and communicate with each other what you are learning in Media Studies.

The task is broken down as follows;

1) Go to http://www.blogger.com

2) Click on “Create a blog”

3) You will need to create an account. If you already have an account, you can go straight ahead and create a new blog.
NOTE: In a change from yesterday’s instructions – if you already have a media studies blog from last year, I would still like you to create a new blog. The purpose of this blog is different from last years.

4) Create a catchy title for your blog – a title which says something about you.

5) Modify/Design/Adapt your blog using any of the features available. If you would like to include a hit counter to see how many people have been on your blog, then search Google for a useable one.

6) Experiment with different styles, layouts, designs etc. Don’t just settle for the basics – make your blog look good.

7) Once you have finished your blog, comment on this post with your new Blog’s web address so that I can subscribe to it, and you can subscribe to each others.

8) Subscribe to each other’s blogs.

a. If you don’t manage to complete this task in class, please complete it for homework.

b. If there are any technical issues or access issues, please see the Technicians.

Good luck,

Mr. Harris

Previous Media Studies Films

Here are a selection of previous years' media studies films.
Some are the Media Production, some were class assignments;

The 'Sup Video Challenge

Download the "sup.avi" video file.

You can download clips from other movies by searching YouTube for them, then adding "Kiss" to the address, i.e. http://www.kissyoutube.com/...

Then use Windows Movie Maker (or any other Video Editing Software) to add the 'Sup Bear and create your own clip. Below is my version.
