Description
This book for GCSE Media Studies examines the processes by which television programmes are constructed and interpreted. It is divided into four sections which explore the areas of fiction, news, advertising and community video. The emphasis throughout is on group talk, simulation and lively activities for students. Each section includes a day-long special project for student programme-makers, including advice for the camera-shy and the uninitiated. The text links with the Scottish Television series "Time to Think", which is also available on video.
