Blog feedback and learner response

-

WWW: This is very concerning and to be honest the main positive we can take from this is that it’s still early in the course and you can turn this around. Ultimately, this is a harsh lesson in organisation and workload – currently, you’re not organised and you’re not putting in enough work. As we’ve made very clear, there is a lot of work to do at A Level and you need to commit at least five hours of homework per week to each subject/option block. My guess is that currently you’re not doing anywhere near this and that’s why the work is missing. Use this as an opportunity to catch up and keep up from now on.

EBI: Very simple here – you need to post the missing and unfinished work. For my side of the course there is only an unfinished Semiotics post – nothing else. It’s vital that you use this feedback to get organised, post work to the right blog, get everything up to date and then keep on top of the workload from now on. In the one piece of work you have posted, you need to improve your attention to detail as you have written ‘death’ instead of ‘deaf’ for the questions on the English short film.

LR: Complete any missing or unfinished work.

Then, create a blogpost on your Media 1 Exam blog called ‘Blog feedback and learner response’, copy this feedback in and then complete the following learner response:

Reflect on your work in A Level Media so far. 

What is your strongest piece of work? 

mise-en-scene recreation practical task

What is your weakest? 

my media consumption task

What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop over the rest of the course?

skills to analyse the different aspects of media such as `clamps`

finished Photoshop magazine cover

I have succeeded in the brief of creating a original magazine cover reflecting the 'wallpaper*' theme/aesthetic. I have made sure to include a range of font and colour in which will help to portray the message of youth fashion and style. Moreover i have made sure to include a unique and eye catching composition such as the poses/angles in the photo as well patterns to portray the connotation of youth and less maturity.

Advertising: Postcolonialism blog tasks

-
1) Look at the first page. What is colonialism - also known as  cultural imperialism?  ‘cultural imperialism’  or ‘colonialism’ – the belief that native  people were intellectually inferior,  and that white colonisers had a moral  right to subjugate the local populace  as they were ‘civilising’ them. 2) Now look at the second page. What is postcolonialism?  The process of decolonisation  gathered speed in the 20th Century  and with it, many of the attitudes associated with colonialism began to  be challenged. 3) How does Paul Gilroy suggest postcolonialism influences British culture? Paul  Gilroy in his 2005 book Postcolonial  Melancholia suggested that Britain had  not quite faced up to its colonial past,  that the national psyche had not quite  come to terms with no longer being  a global superpower, and this had resulted in the desire to still subjugate  those from different races, particularly  immigrants. 4) What is 'othering'? Othering is the phenomenon whereby  we identi

Magazine cover learner response

1) Add your finished magazine cover as a JPEG image. 2) Type up your feedback from your teacher. If you've received this by email, you can copy and paste it across - WWW and EBIs. You don't need to include a mark or grade if you don't want to. WWW: This is a satisfactory cover that does manage to replicate the unusual design of Wallpaper magazine. You’ve picked a quirky magazine that does things differently and your image and cover lines reflect this. However, I think overall this doesn’t quite hit the professional standards we’re aiming for in Year 13 so will prove to be a very good lesson for the coursework next year. EBI: I can see what you’re saying in the evaluation regarding composition but ultimately I don’t think your choice of image is right for a magazine cover – even a quirky one such as Wallpaper. Your face is just far too low on the cover to connect with the audience and means the product lacks impact – the audience won’t know where to look. The other key asp
