Introduction To Media

1) Which part of the course are you looking forward to most?

I am looking forward towards everything but mainly Film  Trailers/ Film Posters

2) What knowledge and skills do you hope to learn in Media?

 I am hoping to learn everything I need to know to become good at media so that I can succeed in my GSCE.

3) What grade are you realistically hoping to achieve in Media?

I am hoping to achieve a grade 8 or push the limits and try and  get a grade 9 which would be amazing
4) What was the last TV programme or film you watched?

The last time I watched a film it was the 'Meg'


5) Why do you think that TV programme or film appealed to an audience?

 I feel that the 'Meg' had a good audience because of the official film poster and  the trailer and they put a good bit of everything that would make someone want to watch the film even more.

6) What technology have you used to access the media in the last 24 hours? (Radio, TV, phone etc.)

 I have used a phone PS4 and to communicate to other people and to socialize with other people and friends

7) What device do you use most to access the media?

  I feel that I mostly use a phone because its always there I use it for everything to listen music,play games and socialize with friends. It is also very helpful as I am always learning from technology and it is making me like media and everything about technology.

  9) Why was the casting of Jodie Whittaker a significant moment in the history of Doctor Who?

The casting bit made it more interesting as she made it more emotional and realistic and as if someone really did just vanish or die.

10) What
aspects of this scene do you think an audience might enjoy? List at least three things and explain why the audience would enjoy each aspect. 

The way the man transformed into a man was very interesting and made it look like it was normal.

It was very interesting when there were explosions and when they were moving around as if there was an earthquake. This makes the scene look more dramatic and the effects were very good making it look like there was a lot of problems or there would be a explosion.

When the man was telling the doctor what and what not to do because it makes you think what if the doctor will break one of those rules or what would happen next and it basically gets you thinking of what will happen later.

1) What is the preferred reading of a media text? The Preferred reading would see the audience siding with the character of Harry - all youths are thugs, mindless and only do bad things. 2) What is the oppositional reading of a media text? The Oppositional reader would say things like there is a reason behind the way the youths act, that they feel sorry for them rather than the people they are terrorizing.  3) How does the Harry Brown trailer position the audience to respond to the teenage characters in the film? Harry Brown positioned youths as very bad and that they are thugs. (all) This would make the audience see that all young adults are not good people and that they do contemptible things. 4) Why might young people reject this reading and construct an oppositional reading of the trailer? The Oppostional reader would disagree and say no, not all youths are contemptible and do wrong things like drugs. 5) Write a 200 word analysis of the McDonald's...

    Language The title shows us that this is the second John Wick film which will attract new people to watch the film. The background of this film helps us show what is going to happen in the film. I can see a lot of people aiming their guns at the protagonist which can suggest that there is a lot of people wanting to kill the main character. This may bring a lot of people to watch this and the film industry would make a lot of money just because of the film poster.                                                 Industries The film was produced by Basil Lwanyk and Keanu Reeces. Both very popular and famous producers. The film John Wick 2 was a successful film and was a good film which would mean that they made a lot of money from it.  He is a Canadian actor that is aged 54 and has been in the films    Bill and Ted  fran...

Blog feedback and learner response

WWW- You have started to use denotation and connotation accurately in your analysis of your own advert, thinking about the wider intended message for the audience but this still needs to be developed in more depth for GCSE level. You have started to analyse the Doctor Who clip well. Fruit bowl is nicely designed. EBI- There are two major aspects you need to work on to accelerate your progress in Media. Firstly, your written English MUST improve significantly. There are far too many errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar in your work so far, such as in your analysis of the Water Aid advert. It is vital in EVERY piece of writing you produce that capital letters and full stops are used accurately. Secondly, you must add much more depth to your media analysis, for instance when you analyse your own advert: think of setting, props, font and copy. LR: You must proof read your work carefully and add more analysis to each one of your tasks so far as they all seem a bit rushe...
