Blog feedback and learner response

 WWW: A fantastic start to GCSE Media Studies – you are completely up-to-date on your blog tasks and you have shown originality and flair in your responses. I really enjoyed reading your Black Swan analysis – that is the standard we need in all tasks.

EBI: The main thing to work on is the depth and detail of your written work on the blog using more media terminology and using PETA paragraph structure. Your Denotation and Connotation blog task could be more extensive in its analysis. It is fantastic that you are ahead compared to the others in the class, but that extra bit of detail will give you that edge and potentially higher grade.

LR: Create a new blogpost on your Media blog called ‘Blog feedback and Learner Response’. Copy and paste this WWW/EBI feedback into your blogpost then complete the LR tasks/questions below.

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?

Learner Response

During my first month of Media Studies, I feel like I have made a good start and improved my understanding of media.

I think my strongest piece of work is my Black Swan analysis because I used media terminology and explained the meanings behind the different features. I also showed originality in my answers.

My weakest piece of work is my Denotation and Connotation task because I could have explained my ideas in more detail instead of just describing what I could see.

For the rest of the course, I want to improve my use of media terminology and get better at using PETA paragraphs. I also need to explain how different media techniques affect the audience and what they suggest. This will help me make my analysis more detailed and hopefully achieve a higher grade.

Denotation and Connotation

The Wateraid print advert communicates meaning to an audience through the use of a symbolic media code. The symbol of the child being sad is being used to draw audience attention to the anchorage text . The use of the phrase "Dig toilets Not graves" could connote that this famine is ruining peoples lives. The producer’s message could be to communicate that this is quite devastating and their advertisement techniques are quite convincing.

Key Concepts:Film Poster

Image
Film name:The Black Swan Film Poster Analysis – Black Swan The Black Swan film poster uses language, institution, audience and representation to show the dark and psychological side of the film. Language: The main image shows Nina’s face with a black-and-white design, which creates a mysterious and unsettling feeling. Her pale face contrasts with the dark makeup around her eyes, suggesting that there are two sides to her character. The title “Black Swan” is written in a simple but dramatic font, making it stand out. The black colour links to the idea of the Black Swan and suggests darkness, danger and transformation. Industry : The film was produced and distributed by companies such as Fox Searchlight Pictures. The poster is designed to make the film look like a serious psychological thriller rather than just a ballet film. The use of a professional, dark style helps communicate the genre and makes the film appear more intense and mature. Audience : The poster is mainly aimed at...
