There's another here on single mothers in US media - these all give you an idea of the area of study although we're covering TV DRAMA only, not film magazines, adverts etc

The Geena Davis Institute does loads of research on women and girls, in and on the media.. worth visiting the whole site

Interesting web chat on the representation of race and class, referring to big brother (so not TV drama - but still interesting)

New Site from Mrs T

I've started a new site where I'm hosting the episodes you've missed. The link is HERE and on the right.

Please click it and let me know how it runs for you...just a word of warning, because the files are sometimes large - allow time for it to load. Plus the pages themselves are quite fancy in terms of code so allow a few moments before trying to click everything. to give you an idea, the borders around the images on the page should be white.

Let me know your comments and suggestions, especially if you have problems running the pages on a windows machine.

Cheers all !

Spooks Series 3, Episode 10

This is the opening of the next epsiode we're going to analyse. We're especially focussed on how we are positioned to sympathise with characters and not with others through camerawork and editing. We are also going to analyse camerawork and editing across the episode.


There are guides on the series and episode on Scribd - check the links

The episode is on m-drive and on Youtube (although it is broken down into 7 rough cuts - see videobar below right)

Skins - season 3 episode 1

This is our episode to look at in detail - you should be constructing detailed character studies using MES, Lighting, Colour, Editing, Camerawork and Sound to construct them. The episode is on the M-drive as are all the breakdown files.
