Blog feedback and Learner response

 WWW: You have made an excellent start to GCSE Media – well done! Your fruit bowl is fantastic – you’ve really captured the Autumn palette beautifully.  Your blog is also fully up-to-date which is great to see and you’ve picked out some good aspects in the homework tasks so far. I like the level of detail you’re offering on mise-en-scene – particularly the first two paragraphs. Keep up the good work!  

EBI:  The key aspect to work on if we want to aim for the top grades is depth and detail throughout our written work – for example, the third paragraph for mise-en-scene. You also need to be careful you are writing about the meanings being communicated to the audience and not just describing what happens or telling the story (this is denotation rather than connotation).

The other area I would suggest working on is keeping an eye on your written English. Things like capital letters are important in written communication and getting them perfect in your blog is a great preparation for the later exams.

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?



LR:

I think that my strongest piece of work is my Stranger Things mise-en-scene work.

I think that my weakest piece of work is my Doctor Who camera work.

Over the rest of the course I feel like I need to work on my analysis skills and just my skills on going in more depth with my answers.

The benefits of horizontal integration are that the company makes more money as they have brought the other company so they have two streams of income.

In addition, if one company fails they have the other one to still make money. 5) Give  three  examples of media companies or brands that have used  synergy  to maximise their pr...

Doctor Who camerawork

 Camera shots: The Establishing shot/Wide shot at 0.52 successfully shows us the full room the old lady was in and shows us that we are in the 1960s. This shot was used to give us a perspective of what era we were in, as the furnishing and the candles are not something you would typically see in the 1980s to the 2000s. Also, this shows us the settings the others are in through the computer, with the blue and black colours showing us that it could be some sort of sci-fi show. The close-up shots from 1.10 to 1.20  establish that all the characters seem focused and determined. This emphasises the importance of what is going on, as we see close-ups of all of the characters' facial expressions. This communicates the intensity of the rest of the clip and implies to us that the whole show is going to be intense.   The over-the-shoulder shot at 3.19 portrays that this idea or plan they had is taking place. This shot is impactful on the audience because it shows us that this myste...

I, Daniel Blake is about a man who can't work due to an illness. He changes a single mothers live as well as her two children. 3) Who directed I, Daniel Blake and why is this important? Ken Loach directed I, Daniel Blake and it is important because since it is a small independent film they cannot use star power so rather they use director power.
