Paper 1 Assessment Learner Response (October)

 

1)
WWW: Dyari - a strong response for Q7 on Black Widow. You know the CSPs well in this paper.
EBI: Not enough media theory/terminology to develop/extend responses.

2a) Typography - Upper case and bold, sans serif font used; connotations of importance and power
2b) Non-verbal codes - lighting signifies brand identity with logo being displayed as lights
2c) Photographic codes - Long shot signifies/shows power of the rugby player and his determination

3) Propp's character theory - Audrey Hepburn is the "heroine", the chauffeur is the "hero", the bus driver is the "donor" and the fruit cart is the "villain".
Torodov's equilibrium theory - Equilibrium is first established in the calm, and peaceful town. Disequilibrium is then shown by the fruit cart stalling Audrey Hepburn's bus. A new equilibrium is established once the chauffeur takes Audrey Hepburn on her journey.

4a) Serif font conveys formality and high class
4b) Use of green colour screen conveys that the magazine is fresh and new with white text to signify class and sophistication
4c) Emma Weymouth, the model on the cover, signifies the change in attitude over the years towards race and ethnicity representation in society

5a) The Marvel brand/MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
5b) Use of trailers to build up hype for the movie
5c) "Star Power"/actor interviews

6) I will:
1. Revise CSPs more
2. Study more media terminology
3. Look at model answers to see how I can improve on answering questions

His Dark Materials: Language and Representation blog tasks

  Language and close-textual analysis 1) Camerawork, editing and sound: The camera work in this episode is very dynamic.

It has been done in this way to presumably give more of a focus on their dialogue and actions in a more dramatic and serious sense, as it is a TV drama. Mise-en-scene: The scenarios shown in this episode are quite gloomy, historic and lonely. The city, which is the location where the majority of the episode takes place, is quite empty, abandoned and old looking. The characters here also look quite nervous and/or always on alert, considering the setting they're in. Narrative and genre: The episode focuses on a city in the sky in which its inhabitants either fled or had their souls stolen by "Spectres", which means the city is very empty and is only really filled with children/teens. The episode also focuses on other worldly creatu

Preliminary exercise feedback and learner response

  1)  WWW: You have displayed some excellent editing and technical skills throughout this preliminary exercise. In particular, the technical editing skills you demonstrated when changing the colour grading and producing match-on-action for the chase which was a requirement for the preliminary exercise brief.  EBI: The biggest improvement needs to be ensuring you film content outside of school to establish the fantasy genre and not limit yourself to filming at school; this will improve the overall quality of your coursework project. The other thing to work on is audio levels. The dialogue was difficult to hear at the end because of the soundtrack being too loud. Most of the feedback in class was complaining about the sound at the end. 2)  WWW: - I have edited the preliminary task very well. - I demonstrated key skills that are essential for the real coursework. - I have met the brief guidelines.
