LEARNERS RESPONSE ASSESSMENT 1:

Mr Halsey's feedback: 
WWW: 
This is a very strong first assessment with good knowledge and understanding shown across the four questions. There is also a clear potential to higher which is great to see- well-done!

EBI: 
  • Question 2 starts really well but needs a little more we will be discussing social and cultural contexts in class
  • Question 3 needs genre theory to push it to the top level. Economic contexts are important too.

One potential point:  Mark scheme 
Question 1: Todorov: disequilibrium suggested by gun; character eyeline looking off-screen suggests danger or threat; tagline references ‘survival’; no hint of new equilibrium.
Question 2: Both products hint at the role society can play in shaping people’s lives which reflects a key theme of British media and culture. In the Ill Manors poster, the tagline for the film literally alludes to this (“Some environments...”)
Question 3: Neale “repetition and difference” – allows producers to evolve genre but maintain audience; Abercrombie “television producers set out to exploit genre conventions... economic sense” ... “Genres permit the creation and maintenance of a loyal audience.”
Question 4: Negotiated readings: an understanding and appreciation that many audiences will adopt somewhere between the two extremes – an acceptance of urban or hip-hop culture without perhaps identifying personally.


One potential point:  Exemplar
Question 1: Including Todorov, Propps and Levi's theories 
Question 2: Discussing and talking about British culture and society views
Question 3: Bringing more theories such as Abercrombie and Naele
Question 4: Including an introduction and conclusion 


Media terminology:
  • Revise and include genre theory
  • Understand and justify social and cultural contexts
  • Reseach and revise economic contexts
  • Avoid repeating the same point 
  • Analyse and understand figures and quotes

Weakest question: QUESTION 2
  • To compare and explain both figures instead of explaining it one by one
  • To include my own knowledge of British value 
  • Write more about social and cultural contexts as more points can gain more marks
  • Include media terminology and examples
  • Talk about the structural society views as a part of 'social contexts'

FRONT COVER PRACTICAL PROJECT

Image
FRONT COVER PRACTICAL PROJECT: RESEARCH: For most of the magazines, they usually use quite a range of different fonts in the cover, Vogue uses a serif font and often includes overlapping of the main centre image. The cover with the centre image mainly uses cover lines and slogans about the celebrity all around the magazines. The colour scheme is very rigid in vogue posters as they use colours that compliment each other. The camera shot that is usually used for vogue posters is either a extreme close up or medium close up. The main cover line is usually at the bottom corner end of the cover and usually includes the name of the person in the centre image. The cover lines use the same font throughout the whole magazine. PLANNING: "refreshing the fashion" is going to be my main cover line because the image mainly focuses on the individuals face. The model will be one of my friends, costume and makeup is of their choice but not to plain, the lighting for the images will be from th

INTRODUCTION TO FEMINISM: BLOG TASKS!

-
  INTRODUCTION TO FEMINISM: Everyday Sexism Watch the Everyday Sexism TED talk from Laura Bates (linked above) and answer the following questions:  Why did Laura Bates start the Everyday Sexism project? she has started the project due to wanting to raise awareness of the subject of men and women being objectified on a daily basis.  How does the Everyday Sexism project link to the concept of post-feminism? Is feminism still required in western societies? The concept of post-feminism is related to the concept of daily sexism since it first raises awareness while also offering those who may be affected a platform to share their experiences so that others may understand what they may be going through. I believe feminism is necessary in western nations because, according to recent data, women are underpaid compared to males, and because of a recent incident.  Why was new technology essential to the success of the Everyday Sexism project? The accessibility of it being online gives people eno
