1) I am
impressed that you have started trying to use Media language accurately – such
as picking out connotations and the effects of the camera shots in the editing
task you completed on Home Alone and the ‘Central Image’ in the Diary of a
Wimpy Kid poster. Please make sure that you put any media words you have used
in your blog in BOLD so that I can see where you have become confident using
these new terms.
2) You
have often got onto the extension tasks which shows commitment to the work.
Make sure you are completely up to date though before you publish something.
EBI
1) For
your LIAR task on Diary of a Wimpy Kid poster – you have written only one line
for each thing. Media Language (the L) includes all the visual images you can
see and the mise-en-scene in the poster (props, character, costume, setting) so
make sure you say something about each thing. Representation is about which
groups of people (gender, age, race) are on the poster. Can you change this now
that you are more confident in these areas? Use my example if you need to and
your notebook.
2) Please
upload the missing work for target audience. When discussing target audience,
see if you can be specific about DEMOGRAPHIC and PSYCHOGRAPHIC so that I can
tell you know the difference. Look at your notes whenever you are tackling a
blog task as that is what your media book is for!
3) Please
check your spellings and proof read your work for checking spelling and sense.
Some basic words are spelled incorrectly such as ‘Magazine’ and ‘Audience’ when
they are right there in your blog titles and you have copied them off the board
so please copy words correctly. Tip- write your blog posts on WORD documents
first and then copy and paste once you have spell checked.
Learner Response
1) Copy
and paste the above WWW and EBI into a new blog post entitled ‘Responding to
Blog Feedback’
2) Please
finish all work that is not finished and publish it.
3) Write
a paragraph telling me what you have found interesting so far in Media and what
has been your favourite task. What do you think you have done well in?
4) Write
a paragraph telling me what you have found difficult so far in Media and what
has been your least favourite task. What skills do you think you need to
practise?
5) Write
a new blog post entitled ‘My Photo Shoot shopping List’ where you write down
all the props and costume that you need for next week’s photo shoot. What
camera angles will you use and who is going to be your model? What pose will
they be in?
