SIS TV was first launched in 2004 as an after school activity and initially became a hobby-horse for the then 7T. (Now 11T1 & 11T2!) Check out the logo designed by Lucy Li in 2007, which is probably in need of a 2009 face-lift, as part of this relaunched project. Some former projects can still be found
here whilst more up to date SIS TV productions can be found on this wiki under the
Sweded Movies page.
In all honesty it hasn't been a huge success, mainly because it has never been linked to the curriculum...until now! My vision for SIS TV necessitates the construction of many channels, just like an usual TV institution. Like most TV institutions, there are many opportunities for synergy with other media forms (the internet, magazines etc) and both Y10 (
pre-production and production coursework task) and Y11 (
News in print and electronic media exam topic)
SIS TV Channels:
SIS News (Incorporating chat show formats?)
SIS SportSIS Community Channel (Working with local companies to develop media based projects)
SIS Primary Channel (Aimed at primary school students)
SIS Knowledge (Documentary channel)
SIS Entertainment(General Entertainment channel)

this innovative film which really impressed me and which makes use of advertising conventions.
