Blog Feedback and LR

 WWW: This is a mixed picture so far – although you have completed three of the four tasks I feel that a step up in terms of attention to detail and organisation is required for A Level study. On the positive side, the Jaws poster was an interesting choice of text (not exactly a film still but you still commented on aspects of mise-en-scene) and the Scream/Baywatch contrast is well selected. The challenge now is to make sure written analysis has the depth and detail to open up the top grades at A Level.

EBI: Your poster analysis is missing – this was the first piece of work in the whole year and I have reminded you about this once already so I’m not sure why it isn’t posted. Organisation and spending sufficient time on homework is critical to success at Post-16. Similarly, you have a piece of work posted on this blog that should be on your Exam blog. This is reasonably common at the start of the course but you do need to put it right. Finally, the level of detail in your mise-en-scene LR task is disappointing – you haven’t typed up my comments word-for-word as it specified and your own reflections are very brief. This suggests to me that you are not placing enough importance and value in the feedback and reflection process which ultimately will limit your final grade in the subject.

LR: Complete any missing or unfinished work and post it to your blog.

Then, create a blogpost on your Media 2 Coursework blog called ‘Blog feedback and learner response’, copy this feedback in and complete the following learner response.

Reflect on your first month of Film & TV Language. What aspect of Film & TV language have you most enjoyed studying? I enjoy the video production aspect of it the most because I get to express my creative and vibrant nature.

What is your strongest piece of work so far? My strongest piece of work was my training montage video because I had a variety of angles and there was a deep message behind the video.

 What is your weakest? My weakest piece of work would be my 1st blog task I did so far because I was still getting the hang on it.

 What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop before we start coursework at the end of Year 12?  I need to develop more knowledge about editing and camerawork so I can make my coursework more lively and enjoyable for people to watch.

Mise en scene analysis

Image
  1) Find a distinctive   still image   and write an analysis of the mise-en-scene. Use each of the aspects you've learned in the lesson. The lighning is very bright and vibrant to emphasise the danger upon the human at the top and it is much darker in the bottom to show the ominous nature of the shark.The setting is in the ocean which conveys the normal area for a shark to attack in. The actor is placed directly above to the shark to foreshadow the upcoming doom they are about to face. The actor is shown to be in a swimming motion and is desperate to escape. 2) Find  TWO  film or TV extracts on YouTube from different genres (e.g. horror, sci-fi, costume drama). Embed them in your blogpost and write a comparison of the mise-en-scene in each.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3lSvJ5RXKA -Scream. The actor is wearing a very casual clothing to express the normality of  the household setting.The main prop being used is the mobile phone to call the stranger. The prop of popcorn is used

400 words for script for page 4

The wait has finally ended ladies and gentlemen! We are pleased to welcome director Bob Smith into our home studio for a short interview about his new crime drama "Mercenary" interviewed by the one and only Mark Steve. MS: It's a pleasure to meet you Bob, tell us about your new crime drama release featuring on Netflix. BS: Nice to meet you Steve! Yes, I'm thrilled to be here today so the name "Mercenary" is actually a synonym for the word "hit-man" which sounds much less exciting and exhilarating to the audience. Mercenary isn't like your typical action drama like Top Boy. The show is trying to highlight that even these stone-cold killers experience emotional trauma and draws onto the dark nature of that industry.  MS: That sounds interesting! Never heard anything like that before. I view that as you adding a twist onto the crime drama specially after viewing that spectacular trailer that has the audience all hyped up behind.
