Class Trailer

1) How does Class meet the conventions of a TV drama series

 From the trailer I can tell that Class is going to be dramatic and science fiction and there is going to be some sci-fi and horror. Its kind of a mix between conventions.

2) What conventions of the science-fiction genre can you find in the Class trailer? List as many as you can and use NCIS to help you.

 Narritive

 Aliens
Time Travel
Space Travel

Characters

New species
Scientists
Monsters

Iconograhies

Labs
Future Weapons
Different colours

Setting

Spooky future worlds
Different time
Different specimens



3) What other genres are suggested by the trailer (e.g. horror)? Is Class an example of a modern hybrid-genre show?

Class is a old genre that uses 'future weapons' and things that we have now where they didn't have it before.
4) Class is a spin-off from Doctor Who. At what point does the character of the Doctor appear in the trailer?

 Doctor Who first appears at the start of the Class trailer.

5) Who do you think the target audience for Class is? Is this a typical target audience for the science-fiction genre? Give reasons for your answer.

 I think it is aimed around 12-25 year olds, for people who have some spare time to watch tv and as there was only 5 channels so they did not have much of a selection.

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.

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...
