Leyton Media Oscars 2013

On Monday 10^th June 2013 Leyton Expressive Arts held its second Media Oscars event at local cinema Stratford Picturehouse. This red carpet event, which is now a firm favourite in the Leyton Season, is a celebration of the achievements of A2 and BTEC Extended Diploma Media leavers. Students and their guests dressed to impress for the evening, making their grand entrance on the red carpet whilst getting snapped by our resident photographer, Scott Goldsmith. They were then treated to a showreel with the very best of 2012/13 media work, and students were nominated in a wide range of categories from best director to best music video, best marketing campaign, best animated shorts and many more. Winners in each category won a coveted Leyton Oscar. The students were also treated to a reception with delicious Hollywood-themed nibbles and drinks.

For AS Media Students

We have now marked the final improvements to your coursework and will feed back our grades to you soon.  Do NOT try to make any changes to your blogs from now on, as these will NOT be marked.

A2 coursework- marking progress.. PLEASE READ

I have been through ALL your blogs today.  A couple of points...

First of all, there is some VERY impressive stuff there.  Some of your blogs are a genuine pleasure to mark.  Some really nice marks are coming through already. I am impressed and proud :-)

Second- there are an unacceptably large number of students who have still not uploaded part or all of their evaluations. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.  Frankly, there are too many of you for me to inbox you. I am assessing your time management, and I have detailed notes on what is missing at this stage.  I strongly suggest that if this applies to you, you inbox me on medialeyton@gmail.com OR vanessa.clyne@leyton.ac.uk

Third- there are three of you for whom I cannot access your blog at all.  I will speak to you individually next week, but again if you are aware this applies to you, INBOX ME to avoid being penalised.  You can check whether your URL works by clicking on the link on the A2 Media page on this website.

And finally- remember that for 7A1 and 7A6, there are NO Media classes on Monday as I am on a visit.  Class as usual on Tuesday.  Those of you who are coming on the visit, meet at 10.45 at Boots Chemist, Waterloo overground station on Monday.  See you then
