TV DRAMA STUDY DAY: Rich Mix Education on Tuesday 6 March 2012

We are going to Rich Mix Education at 35 Bethnall Green Road, London, to attend a study day on television drama. It is led by Pete Fraser, senior assessor for OCR AL Media Studies.

This event will take a close look at how the key elements of camerawork, editing, mise-en-scène and soundtrack construct representations of different social groups. The morning clip-based presentation will be followed by an industry-focused afternoon, where students will listen to the director of a successful TV drama explain how editing is a tool for story telling. The day will include a presentation by a composer to discuss the various ways in which sound contributes to meaning in television drama. After lunch we will have a screening of an episode of Sherlock which will be followed by a Q&A session with the editor Charlie Phillips.

We will meet at Burger King in Waterloo Station at 9.30am on Tuesday 6 March 2012. I will lead the trip and accompany you from Waterloo to Rich Mix Education on the tube. The study day ends at 3.30pm when students will make their own way home. I will be travelling back to Waterloo after the trip for those students who wish to travel back together.
