What the course media should do

We're at the stage now of setting lots of things up and are going into pre-production with the media. We've been talking about doing some partnership activities with UCMK and their media students which should be interesting for all. One of the main things I am currently thinking about to focus on is what kind of media should be in the course. There are a plethora of different tutorials on the web as Chris has already mentioned but we want the media in our course to really grapple with the truly different areas of film-making which is as much about working with people and organisations as it is about having the latest model of a particular camcorder.We think the media should approach the whole area of film-making holistically in the sense that you are constantly having to negotiate a multitude of things when you attempt to make a film: creative, editorial, technical and logistical. So we'd really appreciate any feedback about what you've seen out there that you think really works and what is the kind of balance you think we need to strike in terms of the teaching that is delivered through the media.
