Blog feedback

WWW

1)            The storyboard shows a good range of camera shots and you have written what you have included in each one although you could add more about how this makes your audience feel eg establishing shots to show the setting and close ups to show the emotion of the person in the shot. You have simply stated what is in the shot you have chosen.

2)            Your audience profile sheet and fruit bowl task show that you have the potential to be good at Photoshop which is encouraging for your upcoming coursework.

EBI

1)            Please concentrate on making the work that goes on your blog your BEST possible work. That means not rushing it and taking your time and also finishing things off in Media after school or at home. You need to try and use more media language and you can only do this if you have your notebook open at all times when working on your blog so that you can remind yourself of what key words (such as demographic and connotation) mean.

2)            You are missing A GREAT DEAL of work from your blog – see above where I have highlighted what is missing or unfinished. This is simply not good enough and risks whether or not you should continue with GCSE Media Studies. I know that you had two blogs at one time so you might need to check they are all in the same place but there is a HIGE AMOUNT of missing work. Please publish anything that is in draft form so that I can see it. Anything that is not finished in class HAS to be finished for homework and posted up or you will be in Media detention every day until you are up to date. You will also be unable to participate in the Photo Shoot if you have not caught up.

Learner Response

4)            Write a paragraph telling me what you have found difficult so far in Media and what has been your least favourite task. What skills do you think you need to practise?

5)            Write a new blog post entitled ‘My Photo Shoot shopping List’ where you write down all the props and costume that you need for next week’s photo shoot. What camera angles will you use and who is going to be your model? What pose will they be in?
