If you want a reference when you achieve your qualification it is crucial that you meet ALL deadlines.
If you are struggling please speak to your Lecturer in good time so we can support you.

I will be coming in for a couple of days during Half-term to work on personal projects so make use of this by coming in to develop your work.
Plan, organise, and work hard to chip away at those Tracking Grids.
We are almost there.

#bcotbuy With tumblr being bought by Yahoo I want to know if you think it matters who owns the media you like? What difference can it make?
Do you agree or disagree with Ricky? #bcotgervais
What Media offends you?

#bcotfitch What is your opinion of Abercrombie and Fitch’s ideology (ideas and values)?
What message does it signify to young people?
“We go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive, all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely.”
Is the Media guilty of causing some girls to be body fascist (opressive/ controlling/ not allowing alternatives) towards other girls? #bcotbody

e.g ‘You are too fat’. ‘You are too skinny’. ‘You need to eat something’
This is an example of what the Marxist Antonio Gramsci called ‘hegemonic pressure’ in which people do what those in charge/ power want them to do to re-establish the social order.
We will discuss this further in next weeks lecture.
What is your opinion of this sign #bcotmedia students? Do you agree with it? #bcotbody
the principal at my school made an announcement yesterday that the girls need to start covering up and then i found this in the hallway
Val Cullum has offered #bcotmedia students a great opportunity to film this year’s ‘Cullum Dance Academy’ show.
Here is the information from Val…
It will be held on Friday 19th & Saturday 20th July 2013 with a technical run through on Thursday 18th.
There are six sections in this year’s show, 3 themed 3 non themed.
The themed sections are:
Attention – Military style
Angels and Demons – Dark Gothic style
Las Vegas – Burlesque/showgirl style
The non themed section
In the Mix 1, 2, 3 - contains singing and various dance style including freestyle, street, ballet, Irish and contemporary.
We would like to give your students the opportunity to come along and film the show, from the tech run to the performance.
The tech run gives you the chance to see behind the scene, for the set up and running of the show. It involves lighting, staging and sound, it also gives you an understanding of filming a live theatre performance, how to connect filming equipment to the sound decks and setting the placement of the cameras for the best shots. You will also get to see the performance before the actual show to give you a better understanding of where the dancers/performers are placed on the stage.
Doing two shows gives the film crew a chance to record the first and pick up on any errors with light, staging etc, and then have the opportunity to re film on the following evening’s performance.
As soon as I have Times for the Tech run I will let you know.
Thanking you in advance
