No lesson - Tuesday 3rd May

Apologies - I've got to go to a meeting on Tuesday afternoon. Can't be avoided although I tried. I will make up the time and run as many revision and essay 'surgeries' as you want.

Meanwhile -there's lots of material in the previous post.

Have you seen a film or TV programme recently that seems to be heavily influenced by digital media? What would be the conventions of a programme like this? shortish length, fragmented non-linear narrative, post-modern playfulness, hybrid (convergent) genre, perhaps a techie, sci-fi-style mise en scene.
Do a textual analysis using RAILING concepts. Then answer this in a 300 word essay:
To what extent have NDM influenced the narrative, style and content of contemporary film and TV fiction?
