Greetings


So, here we are again at the start of a new term. This year we have nine fabulous year 13 students studying MIA, and two fantastic year 14s, I wish them you all the best for the coming year.

So far the year 13s have been learning a little about the history of film, we have just completed a case study on the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and are working at cutting out first film. Everyone seems to be getting to grips with using the macs which is great, remember you are more than welcome to use my room when you are free or after school.

Year 14s have started the year studying Orsen Welles' Citizen Kane, 'the best movie ever made' according to many. Their practical work sees them starting the term by storyboarding their own 'News on the March', looking forward to seeing those on Friday.

Result!


Just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS to the Moving Image Arts students who all did brilliantly well is their AS exam. None of you got below a D and two of you got an A, whoa!!! I am proud of you all.

Special mention goes to Matt who leaves us to go and study Film and TV production at Edgehill, we wish you all the best. I also want to wish Cahal Og good luck in his new career, hopefully he won't give up on his animation experiments, the world needs more 'Bold Donkey'!

I also want to welcome back Lee, Stuart and Callum who worked really hard last year and are hopefully ready for all that A2 involves.
