Blog feedback and learner response

 WWW: You’ve made such a brilliant start to A Level Media – well done! Your blog is fully up to date and your blog posts are detailed and thoughtful without exception. From the analysis of the film posters to your reflection on the mise-en-scene recreation this is exactly what I want to see in a top-level blog. Having the 10 introductory questions post on your coursework blog was a bonus (it only needed to be on the exam blog) and it allowed me to see your ambition to secure an A/A* grade. Well, I’d say you’ve made the perfect start so far – keep up the good work!

EBI: I’ll be honest, it’s hard to fault what you’ve done so far and you’re also contributing superbly in lessons too. One element I did notice was quite a few typos in your blog-posts – are you using a phone or tablet to complete the work? Most of them read like auto-correct errors rather than an issue with written English but it’s one we can keep an eye on.

LR: Create a blog posts on your Media 2 Coursework blog called ‘Blog feedback and learner response’, copy this feedback in and then 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? What is your strongest piece of work so far? What is your weakest? What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop before we start coursework at the end of Year 12?

Answer the questions below: 1) What does the article suggest regarding the traditional audience for foreign-language subtitled media? Fifteen years ago, if you'd mentioned to a colleague that you'd spent Saturday night glued to a subtitled European drama, you'd have been quietly declared pretentious, dull and, possibly, a little odd.Skip to today and foreign-language dramas aren't even on-trend, they're fully mainstream. Now we are as likely to discuss the latest Danish thriller over a morning flat white at our desks as we are a new season on HBO. 2) What does Walter Iuzzolino suggest is the key appeal of his 'Walter P...

Editing blog task

Your final analytical blog task is to find a film or television clip on YouTube that you feel has been edited in a distinctive way and write a 750 word analysis of the clip. Shawn of the dead (2004) 0:01 - 2:50  1800~ Words (Should be a good read) Starting with editing the scene that begins the sequence of events within this clip starts off with a few straight cuts create juxtaposition that establish the main character and links the eyesight of the protagonist ‘Shawn’ to a board on the wall which helps establish that what’s written on there is significant to him and specifically enables the audience to gain a grasp and some context behind Shawn as a character and then the its edited in a way in which the camera straight cuts to someone laying on the couch with Shawn in the back.
