All dMEC staff are experienced trainers who have worked successfully
in Devon Curriculum Services (DCS), the LEA advisory branch, in
a range of contexts.
dMEC is working in partnership with Film Education to host a major
4 day residential conference on The Moving Image in the Digital
Age. The conference is aimed at pushing forward debates around
digital media and creativity in the classroom. Full detail of the
conference plus a booking form are available at:

Watch highlights of a visit made to the centre by 30 students
from Chulmleigh Community College to edit their GCSE Media
Studies practical work.
Students had previously filmed their material on Mini DV and
sent their tapes in to be digitised into the Centre's Vaio
laptops. Students were given a group tutorial on how to use
the editing software - Pinnacle Studio 8. They then proceeded
to edit their material adding titles, music and effects under
the watchful eye of their tutors, Colette McEnery-Lane and
Roger Crompton of dMEC. The resulting work was then transferred
to VHS tapes for submission to the exam board.
