TELEVISION DRAMA - CATCH-UP

I have noticed from blogs a level of inconsistency in your work which needs to be addressed.

This is what you all need on the TV Drama page:


  • Christmas holiday notes on TWO TV dramas including Eastenders.
  • Reflective notes on the media languages we have learnt about, please use the notes you made in class and consolidate this on your blog.
  • Detailed analytical notes from our viewing of the opening of FIVE DAYS - you should have the notes on the language you focussed on AND make an attempt to comment on the other four.
  • Your HW analysis of your chosen TV drama, see list on previous post.
  • Notes and analysis of Byker Grove, White Girl and The Bill from Tuesday.
I am arranging a Compulsory Catch-up session for next Wednesday after school for those of you who do NOT have this completed by Tuesday's lesson.

PLEASE ALSO REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A RESOURCE FOR YOU, SO WRITE IN A DISCIPLINED, ACCURATE AND THOUGHTFUL WAY USING THE TERMINOLOGY THAT YOU KNOW.

SPRING TERM - DAY 1

Please remember to have completed the Homework set at the end of last term.

You need to set up a new page on your blog entitled TV DRAMA and place your homework on this page.

Remember: you were to watch TWO dramas one of which was Eastenders and analyse the conventions of the dramas:

Length, storyline, characters, period, settings/locations, genre, ensemble cast or star vehicle, dramatic hooks, ongoing or one off, advertising breaks or not and their position, narrative style: linea (in story order), circular (often leaving characters where they began), eliptical (moving backwards and forwards in time using flashbacks and other devices).

Have a go.

PS. All equipment borrowed must be returned Tuesday.
