Welcome

Welcome to the CBSC Media Awards nominations 2012. We would like YOUR input into the awards so we have put together a selection of what we consider to be the best of the work completed this year in GCSE and A-Level Media Studies classes.

The different categories are shown on the right hand side. Simply click on the category, look through the nominations and then as a tutor group, decide on your favourite one in each category. Mark your nominations on the nomination form sent round to your tutor group OR email me with your nominations in each category.

You could decide to look at a different category each morning that you have tutor time, OR you could do it all at once in extended tutor time. Some of the pieces of work are posters and some are videos so allow plenty of time to look at each!

We look forward to receiving your nominations!

Category: Film Opening Sequence

This A-Level topic asked students to work in groups and create the first 2 minutes of a new fiction film of their choice. The short sequence needed to be engaging and make the audience want to watch the rest of the film. Here are what we think are our top 3 videos.

PLEASE NOTE: All the film sequences below have a "horror / thriller" theme. However they are suitable for younger audiences and do not contain any graphic scenes, bad language etc.

Film Opening 1 = "Stranger" by Nathan Radley and Manoraj Sivantharajah

Film Opening 2 = "Malignant" by Tommy Bowdery, Luke Dixon, Hannah Woods and Michael Kirby

Film Opening 3 = "The Date" by Charlie Reynolds, Danielle Halsey, Jess McGuigan and Luke Stevens

Category: Music Videos

This A-Level topic asked students to work in groups and create the music video to a song of their choice. The video needed to be engaging, look professional and "sell" the band or the artist. Here are what we think are our top 4 videos.

PLEASE NOTE: Alhough some of the videos tackle adult themes of relationships, drinking etc, they are all handled in a sensitive way and are suitable for a younger audience and contain no graphic scenes or bad language.

Music Video 1 = "Fit But You Know It" by Jack Hargreave, Jack Morris and Tom Whelan

Music Video 2 = "Stay Awake" by Sam Dempster, Lucy Hyner, Sabrina Porter and James Fransham

Music Video 3 = Connor Sleet, Jacob Caria Preen, Ryan Almond and Bradley Russell
