Review
MediaStage is software for modelling human behaviour.
Script-writing, casting, set building, propping, directing, lighting, audio-recording, editing and camera skills: the MediaStage virtual 3D performance tool (with GCSE activities by Heinemann and supported by Nesta Futurelab), delivers it all.
Students build and populate their sets, select their characters and arrange lighting and cameras using objects from the software library. Character movements, lighting and cameras are in their full control. Students can record or type in character dialogue and see it performed with automatic lip-synchronisation; control character movements, gestures and emotions; set camera positions and live edit; save and share performances.
MediaStage includes a comprehensive Teacher Support Pack with coursework activities suitable for AQA and WJEC examining bodies. There are also two GCSE student course books that model, illustrate and exemplify the skills that students need to acquire. |
