Welcome to an exciting and challenging semester in Media. We will be exploring the world of the music video and developing our skills as both critics and creators of the art form. We will also investigate advertising in the media and have a go at creating a 30 second ad aimed at a specific audience; however, before we begin, it is really important that we get to know each other.
