This is so you have a written reference as to the requirements for the blog tasks.
First, look at the written feedback you got for Activity 2.3 in your coursebooks. This is meant to make you aware of how much more there is for us to write on.
Many of us highlighted fantastic examples of Ethical, Technological and Cultural representations... yet it is not enough to simply identify these!
When analysing a media text, you must:
1. Explain WHY it is significant as an ethical, technological and/or cultural representation; what does it tell you about our culture? If it is an older film text, how does that compare with the culture in the time that film was produced?
2. Run your observations through the filter of the four main areas of Key Media Concepts - Camera shots / angles / etc, Editing, Sound, and Mise-en-scène. (Although for this task, we're leaving out Editing and Camera)
3. Check what you've written against the marking scheme you've been given for Section A of your written examination. Have you met the listed criteria?
Second, with all that in mind, look at your classmates' blogs.
DUE FRIDAY 20th February:
Comment on at least three people's blogs, suggesting what you think they need to do to improve their posts.
Third, fix your entry.
DUE WEDNESDAY 25th February:
Use the comments from your fellow students to improve the quality of your post. This is the final edit before your post will be given a final assessment by the teacher.
As a final piece of advice, be keeping up-to-date notes about the process of planning your preliminary filming task! This is good practice for constructing your creative critical reflections!
Let me know if you have any questions. :)
