For students embarking upon their major media project in Year 12, the best sources of advice are often students who have gone through the experience previously.
On Brett Lamb’s Lessonbucket website, he has interviewed a number of students who have created films that have been selected for Top Screen, an exhibition of high quality work from Victorian media students.
You can see all of these interviews on the Filmmaking Advice page of Lessonbucket.

You can also see a number of Top Screen films on the Opening Class Top Screen Playlists.
