Yes, they should all be accessible at their original URLs as we moved the entire articles directory to the new site. If you want to find an article that doesn't appear in the navigation, the best bet is to Google 'mediaed' and the article title, topic or author.... http://www.mediaed.org.uk/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,78/func,view/id,25/catid,10/ Teach secondary and tend to promote storyboarding to encourage forward planning, consider carefully importance of camera angles, timing, transitions etc. However practice can be demotivating if student is convinced she/he is not 'artistic'. One way around this is to encourage use of digital photography to storyboard. WJEC Film Studies (FS1 unit) accept this technique. Added benefit that student now starting to 'see' like a film maker, i.e. through a viewfinder.... http://www.mediaed.org.uk/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,78/func,view/id,24/catid,21/ Is it possible to access the articles that were posted on the old mediaed site?

They seem to be regarded as essential, whatever kind of film the children are making. They are probably used in Media Studies because they provide evidence of pre-production, even when the students are making the kind of films for which storyboards would not be used in the industry.
