Blog feedback and learner response

-

 

WWW: A fairly solid start to the course and your blog reflects this too. I admire your honesty about how much screen time you are currently using but I also understand your reasons as to why. Well done for highlighting that you need to read more news content to be more aware of what is happening around the world e.g. political issues


Next steps:

  1. Fix your MIGRAIN: Index so far blog post as the Reception theory blog URL has not been linked to it correctly

  2. Ensure that you are putting enough detail to each blog post e.g. writing in fuller sentences and providing enough information for each question


Learner response: Correct the above and then answer the questions below:


Reflect on your work in A Level Media so far:

What is your strongest piece of work?  I think that my work on Narrative worksheet is my strongest work.

What is your weakest?  I think my weakest work is Reception theory.

What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop over the rest of the course? To go in to deeper depth on the work and to ensure i am constantly writing in full sentences.

  Part 1) Applying Reception theory to adverts Look back at the adverts you have been analysing in  last week's lessons on Reading an Image and media codes  (RBK 50 Cent and one of your choice).  1) What are the preferred, negotiated and oppositional readings for the RBK 50 Cent advert? Preferred-a very famous and popular person with a brand he likes and advocates for negotiated- only those from a similar background can wear reebok oppositional- promoting criminal activity 2)  What are the preferred, negotiated and oppositional readings for the advert of your own choice that you analysed for last week's work? preferred- there burger is made from natural ingredients negotiated - its disgusting to see mouldy food on their advert oppositional - its been 28 days and no ones having a burger for that long Remember to  highlight  or  bold  any media terminology you are using.
