Hi class,
Check out this clip from Downtown Abbey.
I want you to watch it through from 1.36 mins to the end (please note, this will be longer than the average clip you'll get in an exam but for the purposes of practise, it's a great clip).
FRIDAY:
Create a blog post with the title, "Downton Abbey Representation Practise" with your notes
Questions;
1. Who (out of the 7 core representation areas of society) are being represented in this clip?
(you can choose more than 1 category if you feel it's relevant)
2. How are they represented to us? (what messages are we told about these groups? What are they like? What are their lives like? What are we encouraged / pursuaded to think about them?)
3. Split a planning page up into 4 squares and include your 4 technical elements. Go through the clip from 1.36 and collect EVIDENCE (or examples) of where each technical area created meaning. Use correct terminology AND details of the example you're referring to (you can't just say 'there's lots of close-up's") You will need to watch the clip through 3 - 4 times, like you would in an exam, to get the notes you need.
MONDAY
