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 rushed- there is no detail in your denotation and connotation of the Water Aid advert or in your LIAR film poster analysis. Then, reflect on your first month of Media. What do you feel is your strongest piece of work so far? What is your weakest? What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop over the rest of the course? How can you improve the depth and detail of your media analysis?

LR: 

My strongest  point would be my denotation and Connotation

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

Key concepts (LIAR) and analysis of Film Poster

    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.

Mise-En-Scene Stranger Things Analysis In the 8 mins of Stranger Things I an saw that the setting was set in a basement and there 4 children playing games. This means they are friends and are having fun by playing with each other. The audience would feel that they are enjoying themselves. When they leave the house and its time for them to go you can see that it is night time and once the kids get onto their bikes you can see that the lights flicker. This could suggest that there might be a power cut or that there it is a symbol of something being out there. This might mean that there is danger out there and they might be in trouble. When at the end when one of the children run into a shed and reload a shotgun and have it out ready to shoot aiming at the door. This suggests he is grieve-stricken and scared. When the light flashes and the child disappears it might mean that he went into the light and it sucked him in. No grammar issues because I am using Grammarly :D
