Blog feedback and learner response

 

Dyari GCSE Media blog feedback – December 2022

WWW:

Dyari, it has been a pleasure having you in my lessons this term. You are very passionate about the subject and you offer very interesting ideas. I think you will particularly enjoy the close study products when we get to them, especially the video games unit. It was lovely hearing you say that this was your favourite subject this year. I hope this continues throughout the course.

EBI:

Just lacking detail in your blog posts that we need to work on. Just ensure that you have used your exercise book and the notes on Media Macguffin to ensure you are answering in plenty of detail. If we can add that extra bit of detail you will be able to achieve maybe exceed your target grade.

LR: 

Copy and paste this feedback into a new blogpost called ‘Blog feedback and learner response’. Then, set aside some time to go back and complete missing or unfinished work. Finally, as your learner response, write what you think the most difficult topic we’ve covered so far has been and why.

The hardest topic for me would probably be Denotation and Connotation. This is because I struggled a lot with my knowledge of media, not using as much words as I should and also struggling to properly describe the scene in detail with said words. I'm not fully satisfied with my work on it and I very much think I can do much better.

Advertising: Key Connotations

  1)  - The picture of the product and it's contents (Skittles) remind us of what this advert is promoting. - The packing for the sweets is in the middle, with it's slogan under it and loads of Skittles behind it. The Skittles in the background are arranged in a rainbow, referencing it's slogan, "Taste the rainbow". - The background is a cloudy sky, further emphasising the rainbow theme of the sweets. - It's slogan, "Taste the rainbow", refers to the many fruity flavours Skittles has, and how colourful they are. - It's colour scheme is bright red with the frequent use of rainbows; this makes Skittles much more recognisable, and sets up a brand identity. 2) The USP (unique selling point) is the fact that Skittles come in many colours and flavours, allowing you to have a different taste experience from other sweets/candy brands. Many people like Skittles for the many flavours and styles they have available (e.g. Sour Skittles, Tropical Skittles, et...

Gender representation in advertising

  1) 2) 3) In the 1950's/60's, women were often portrayed as inferior to men. They were often portrayed as being servants to their husbands, always working around the house and weak/not "manly". It was very common to see adverts featuring women who were cleaning or serving dinner. For example, the first ad I've shown is a tie ad where a women is serving her husband, with the tagline "show her it's a man's world". The second ad promotes a cleaning product, and it shows a woman with lots of dishes surrounding her, with the tagline "Get out of the kitchen sooner!". The last ad promotes mustard "for men", in which it's tagline is "Are you woman enough to buy a mustard for men?". 4) In the early/post-2000's, women were often sexualised/portrayed as beautiful in a lot of adverts. They were often sexualised in a lot of perfume/beauty product ads. A few examples include the ones I've shown above. The first ad isn...

His Dark Materials informs the audience with it's more diverse cast, educates them with their take on common issues, and also entertains them.
