Ok Hawk-Eye has completely changed tennis in the last year. In some tournaments players have 3 appeals which means they can appeal against a decision that has gone against them. If they get there appeal correct they keep there appeal and if there appeal is wrong they lose an appeal. simple. Hawk-eye allows the fans and competitors to see the flow of the ball and see where it landed. I have a clip from the Dubai quarter final match between Nadal and Youzhny. If Youzhny wins the point he gets the set, so its a crucial point.
Right, u have seen how hawk eye works. How could the human eye tell if that was in or out. thats why hawk eye has changed the face of tennis so we can have correct decisions. Personally i feel it has added tension and excitement to the game and as a viewer throughly enjoy the anticipation factor of the hawk eye.
Whats your opinion on hawk eye??? how do you feel it has changed the game?? and how has it affected you as a viewer watching the match on your television or at a live game. opinions plz!!!

I watched this game on t.v and that point was brilliant. gave me so much excitement. its added a new depth and excitement to the sport which personally adds to the quality and enjoyment to viewers. adds tension to the points and correct decisions are made. also shows the quality of the shot by the players which adds to the admiration of the quality of the match you are watching
i think it was a risk bringing in the hawkeye into tennis but i think it paid off since games which have the hawkeye technology adds to the tension and excitement experienced by viewers. again i think they have made the right decision in not letting players use it on every single call because that could break the flow of the tennis match.
Hi John,
meant to post something for you at the start of half term rather than the end. Even so, I'm sure you have had heaps to get on with. I understand Az, Lauren and co. have been keeping you in the loop. What great classmates you have!
Hope the leg is on the mend, in any case. Did you see the lovely Gerrard free kick today against the Arsenal? Pity we couldn't grab all three points...
Like the look of your CRS stuff so far. Hawk eye technology has undoubtedly revolutionised televised sport over the last few years. I love all the beehive, pitchmaps and wagonwheel stuff they use in the cricket. Stumpcam is great too. But then I am a bit of a armchair cricket nerd anyway.
Like the use of it in Tennis too - certainly ramps up the tension, especially on the important points. Anything that gets more tantrums and racquet smashing hissy fits going is an improvement in my book. Mens tennis has been lacking a bit of fire of late so if it gets them more stirred up (like Nadal in your clip)then great! I miss McEnroe and his outbursts (showing my age there)...
Having a limit to the challenges is a great idea otherwise the game would be way too stop start.
As for video tech in football...goal line camera would be great. It would certainly be fairer. Not for penalties, fouls, handball or anything else though. Would interrupt the flow too much.
An excellent resource you should know about is the media magazine archives. Someone may have passed on the URL and password to you already but here it is anyway...

Once logged in you can search the archived articles. I know there is a couple of media and sport articles in there but not sure how appropriate to your particular research. In any case there are some really useful Media Theory articles in there so get clicking!
Take care, rest up and get well soon!
Hope to see you back soon.
Hello again hop-a-long. Az tells me you might try coming in on monday? Starting with a half day might be an idea. Make sure you have some pain meds with you too. It must be really frustrating...
In terms of the British Cinema topic we look at a number of issues and debates that surround contemporary cinema. It's a synoptic unit so we cover all of the media studies key concepts.
Any kind of background reading into the British Film Industry would be useful.
We also look at some directors in more detail too. E.g. Shane Meadows (A Room for Romeo Brass, Dead Mans Shoes, This Is England). Doing some background research on Meadows would be a good start; as would watching some of his films.
We also study a film called 'Bullet Boy' by Saul Dibb.
We also look at Working Title as an example of a successful British production company.

You probably have enough to get do with your Psych, Advanced Production and CRS but I thought it might be useful if you are sitting around a lot!
See you soon and keep your spirits up!
