Year 1 reflection

-

 1) Look at your tracker for Year 1 blogposts (this will have been emailed to you by your teacher either before the summer or this week). Make a list of any CSPs you haven't completed. We will cover these in lessons later in the year but you WILL need to complete the blog tasks before you take any exams. 

Zoella (However I have finished the blog task during July)

2) Which CSPs from Year 1 are you most confident on?

I am mostly confident in Magazine and Advertisement category as it was one the first topics we covered; I can also identify the different terminologies and analyse them in depth.

3) Which CSPs from Year 1 are you least confident on? 

The least confident topics that I find difficult is video games. Thsi is because I don't think I know a lot about Video Games and don't know how to approach the question when it appears in an assessment.

4) Your upcoming assessment will only be on CSPs from the first half of the year leading up to lockdown. Write a brief summary of the following CSPs to start your revision (Reveal magazine is done for you as ):

Doctor Strange: 

Doctor Strange is a Hollywood movie and is also classified as a blockbuster movie as well. It has a large amount of editing and promoted the film through the traditional way. For example, Imax, Poster, Teasers/Trailers. They also had a massive amount of budget put into the movie.

I, Daniel Blake: 

I,Daniel Blake is a low budget film that was very successful and used many other ways to promote the movie such as projection on the houses of commons, #WeAreAllDanielBlake. This movie was directed by Ken Loach.

Magazines - Reveal: a celebrity magazine aimed mainly at working-class women focusing on gossip, celebrity and motherhood for just 99p. Offers quite a traditional, stereotypical representation of women.

Magazines - Tatler: 

Tatler is a very expensive magazine aimed at higher class people. The word 'Talter' means celebrity gossip. There were stereotypes that reinforced luxury. However, most of the models on the cover are women suggesting the magazines are targetted at women, this shows women stereotypes.

Advertising: OMO: 

OMO shows that women are inferior than men. This reinforcing the women stereotype that wives/ women have to work for men/ husband.

Advertising: NHS Represent: 

NHS tried to influence people through a rapper and made a music video. In the video, she showed equality and a disablity stereotype as she clearly indicates a message that no matter who are and what job you you need to donate blood that need blood for them to survive. At the end of the video, it shows empty chairs illustrating that no one is willing to give blood. 

Advertising: Galaxy chocolate:

5) List five things (e.g. CSPs/topics/terminology) that you will revise before your upcoming assessment.

- Stereotypes

-Video games

-Zoella/Influencer

-Analysise terminoly (passive, Midstream...etc.)

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

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?

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
