Teaching Media: Media Production in the Classroom
How do you get a class of 30 to learn the skills of building a thrilling story in pictures?
Emma Bull is an English and media teacher at Parkside Community College, a specialist Media Arts College in Cambridge. In this programme we follow her Year 8 class over the course of a day.
We see the class analyse, plan, shoot and edit short, tense sequences based on hospital dramas such as Casualty.
Emma uses a camera fed through an interactive whiteboard to model the rigorous planning required by editing in-camera. We see small groups of children working together in class and on location around the school to create some interesting short films.
We also hear from advanced skills teacher James Durran how practical media production motivates the students, supports moving image work at Key Stage 3, and develops transferable skills of analysis and collaboration.

Media production21 October 2007 - 08:32
What's really important about this programme is that it shows how media production work needs to be embedded in more extensive activity: watching and analysing other material of a similar type, reflecting on the practical work and considering how to do it better. Also the videos made are really short exercises, not a massive production that leaves everyone exhausted.
