    In this forum I want you to tell me:

    1. What it is you are most looking forward to doing in Media Studies this year, provide as much detail as possible, photos, links, explanations, clips etc

    2. Which assessment you enjoyed most last year and why

    3. What do you think of when we say the word Media Studies?

    4. What do you think of when you hear, Media Studies at MHJC? What are your expectations of the subject?

    Remember these answers will inform my planning for our next assessment, so make sure you give me as much information as possible to avoid disappointment!


  • 12 February - 18 February

    Pitching your idea is a little like writing a speech. Keep in mind that we will work together as a class and have about 7 different departments over looking each section of the film production.

    Your pitch could be for an advertisement, a trailer for a movie, public service announcement, very short film, or it could be a promotional clip that goes on the MHJC website.

    Next session you are all expected to present your idea/pitch to the class and we will vote on the most interesting and doable pitch.

    The story is about a man named Walter Mitty, who has extremely vivid daydreams that serve as an escape from his mundane real life. While Mitty is a fictional character, James Thurber said that he loosely based the character off of a friend from his own life named Walter Mithoff, who was prone to frequent daydreams.24


    Walter Mitty 



    The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a story about life, and how it is something to be seized and enjoyed, before it is too late. The message of the movie is that life is not something to be whiled away in abject misery, patiently counting off the days until death.
