Post this in a new blogpost on your Media blog called ‘Blog feedback and Learner Response’ then complete the LR tasks/questions below.

WWW: You’ve made a superb start in Media – three achievement points in your first four pieces of work is brilliant (and I don’t give achievement points out too easily!) Your Photoshop fruit bowl is creative and has a strong design to it and your connotation analysis of the Adidas advert is excellent (it’s always great to see much more detail on the connotation rather than the denotation). There’s a lot to build on here and we should definitely be aiming for that 7+ grade!

EBI: We will need to work on representation analysis – this will be covered around Christmas in the ‘Introduction to Media’ unit so we can return to it then. For the Brave film poster there’s lots we could say about the representation of women by having a strong girl as the star but we’ll come back to that later in the course. You also need to keep an eye on written English. You need to treat your blog as you would an exercise book – this means correct titles, using capital letters and writing in full sentences. In your first blog task there is a ‘u’ and lots of ‘i’ – cut this out!

LR: 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?

I have finished my EBI in my previous Blogs. I can improve my media analysis by looking at the image in depth and use inferenece to refer to what kind of target audience to media companies are trying ot aim for. In the first month of media, I find it really interesting. In my opinion, I actually that media had so many different reasons for why the do that for example they do a over the shoulder short to show a conversation a the character perspective, but I just thought they did it so the scene would look good. Now, whenever I watch something on Youtube I identify the techniques that I learnt and it is really annoying but I learn more. During the rest of the course, I would like to know how to edit Youtube videos and to shoot a video and post it.

Language and Representation

Language analysis:    1) Choose three key moments in the episode and write an  NCIS  analysis for those clips. You can use your notes from the screening in class.  Make specific, detailed references using media terminology (e.g. media language - camera shots, diegetic/non-diegetic sound, mise-en-scene etc.) An Unearthly Child scene analysis Narrative: Time travel and space travel. Character: Susan, female teacher, male teacher and the doctor Iconography: Futuristic, costume, lighting Setting: Junkyard, time machine 2) How does  Todorov's theory of equilibrium  apply to An Unearthly Child? First it starts of with an equilibrium which is were the teachers and Susan, the unearthly child, are first introduced. Then it build up to dramatic tension and suspicion about Susan’s personality and how she is abnormal comparing to the other students. Also, being classified as a  “genius” by Ian Chesterton. After following Susan, they investigating and the grandfather - also known as the doctor

One Direction History

Industry 1) How were One Direction formed and how is this reflected in the music video for History? They auditioned on X factor and came in the top three as they had a lot of talent. Through media they were proclaimed to be the most auccessful music group . 2) What is vertical integration? Vertical integration is where one conglomerate owns different companies in the same chain of production. 3) What is horizontal integration?  Horizontal integration is when one company buys other companies at the same chain of production 4) How has technological convergence changed the way audiences consume music videos? Has made a big difference in the music industry as apps have developed the more advanced the music videos are and the audience also see the music from a different perspective   5) As a manufactured band, what influence do Simon Cowell and the record company Syco (part of Sony) have over the content and release strategy of One Direction music videos?    A view may think that

Newspaper Essay

-
  ‘Differently newspapers address their audiences differently.’ How far is this true of The times and the daily mirror (close study products)? In my opinion, I strongly agree with this statements to large extent. Many newspapers, use the typography of serif to express the seriousness of their business and proposal of their contents on the front page, formal and definitely traditional. On the other hand, The Daily Mirror consists of sans serif to emphasise the informal and modern culture and perhaps give an interpretation of celebrity gossip. For example, The Times mainly focuses on the category of politics as their front page content. Preventing them to be like the Daily Mirror, they have much of a more appealing view of their front page as it has a high capacity of coverage consisting of text heavy longer articles. Nevertheless, the Mirror has a front page full of mastheads, headlines and images. The daily mirror deliberately endures their paper to behold the colour red to highly rein
