 FEEDBACK

WWW: You’ve made an excellent start to A Level Media on the coursework side – well done! Your blog is fully up to date and your reflection on the mise-en-scene recreation is exactly what I want to see in an LR task. In particular, I like your description of getting better at editing and I assure you that the next few projects will continue that progress and development. Keep up the good work!

EBI: The main message here is simple – keep doing what you’re doing! The analytical work is obviously very important alongside the practical but you have done very well here too with some good analysis of the mise-en-scene in some well-chosen scenes and images. Depth and detail is critical to reach the top grades in Media so this is something to keep developing. 



RESPONSE

Reflect on your first month of Film & TV Language.


 What aspect of Film & TV language have you most enjoyed studying?

= The aspect of film and tv language I have most enjoyed studying has to be the concept of mis-en-scene because it has given me a broader idea on what the behind the scene detail work the director has to ensure looks good and what fits into the agenda of the product produced.


 What is your strongest piece of work so far? 

= My strongest piece of work so far has to be my mis-en-scene blog tasks because I analysed the tests in proper detail and completed to my fullest potential by working through the clamps format.


What is your weakest? 

= My weakness probably has to be more consistent when analysing the blog tasks.


What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop before we start coursework at the end of Year 12?

=I feel as if I just need to be again more consistent in answering questions meaning answer all of the them to the same equal answers as all the questions combined.

Postmodernism in music video: Blog tasks

  Media Magazine Theory Drop - Postmodernism 1) How does the article define postmodernism in the first page of the article? If modernism is beginning to question authority, then postmodernism is making fun of authority to its face. Postmodernism takes this concept of questioning traditional structures, representations  and expectations and pushes things a step further. 2) What did media theorist and Semiotician Roland Barthes suggest in his essay 'The Death of the Author'? In 1967 the French literary critic Roland Barthes released his essay The Death of the Author. In it, he challenged tradition when he said that a writer’s opinions, intentions or interpretation of their own work are no more valid than anyone else’s. To give a simple example, this means that just because Ridley Scott thinks Deckard is a replicant, doesn’t mean that you, the viewer, have to think  this if you don’t want to. Readers are  free to interpret a work however they choose, irrespective of what the cre

Summer project tasks 1) Research: TV crime drama extract analysis  How To Get Away With Murder: Narrative and genre In terms of the tv crime drama genre it is mainly viewed by the older generation however because the show involves a narrative of law students it gained a lot of attraction from college/law  students across the world, which skyrocketed the viewer age.  show starts off with an introduction to a criminal law course, throughout the seasons the audience is able to identify the irony between the law class and what they have to go through in order to actually get away with murder. The narrative is then communicated to the audience through varies flashbacks at the start of each season and working its way through to the very last episode of the said season to showcase the whole event in one piece rather than in fragments. By doing so audience are left into a cliffhanger each episode causing them to binge watch the show as the crime drama genre has always been some what a game the

The Specials - Ghost Town: Blog tasks

-
  Background and historical contexts 1)  Why does the writer link the song to cinematic soundtracks and music hall tradition? Formed in 1977 and arguably the most influential band of the UK’s  2 Tone Ska  scene, “Ghost Town”, a skewed ska oddity, was written by Jerry Dammers, The Specials’ keyboardist and released in June 1981. It was their last song before splitting up and reforming as The Special AKA and stayed at the top of the UK charts for three weeks. It’s an odd, eerie song, nodding to pop convention and sitting wilfully outside of it. It’s included, in passing, in Dorian Lynskey’s beautifully written book on protest songs,  “33 Revolutions Per Minute” , but unlike the band’s “Free Nelson Mandela” does not merit its own chapter. Perhaps because “Ghost Town” cannot be “placed”. It’s not explicitly against any one event. It does not exhort its listeners into any one particular political view. It is not part of any one social movement for change. It is, rather, a stealth protest s
