Feeding back on AS

I'd like you to discuss the following Qs/prompts (you can do this individually, in pairs, 3s or more) and then go up to JCs to record vox pops where you'll deliver your answers!

1. What have you learned since starting Media Studies?
2. Was it exactly what you expected, or have you been surprised in some ways by the work in Media?
3. What do you think you have gained from the subject (so far)?
4. What did you most enjoy? (you can of course provide multiple examples!)
5. Has the way you view or 'consume' the media been changed in any way?
6. (Assuming you would...) What reasons would you give someone thinking over their AS options to do Media?

WHEN RECORDING...

You will be recording a range of vox pops yourselves over the next few weeks, for the IFEST work and also if you're working on the documentary of the Music Vid Day. You want to make sure you avoid...

1. Reading prepared answers off paper
2. Looking down, rather than at the camera
3. Taking forever to form a sentence!
4. Having the camera operator's voice at the same time as the subject of the vox pop

Basically, whether you're filming or being filmed doing vox pops, the aim is for a sense of spontaneity. So, even if you or your subject has been given time to prepare an answer, keep any piece of paper not just out of shot but simply away - ask 1 question at a time, and give yourself, or your subject, time if needed to re-read their notes then put these away and shoot!
