Blog Learner Response/Feedback

 First 10 Questions:

EBI- You need some more detail in your answers, for instance where you are talking about The Grinch you were supposed to write a whole paragraph talking about why the target audience would be interested / entertained and you have just said 'it is acceptable for all' with no detail about film. 'Child protected' is not correct - you mean Universal rating as in suitable for every age group. But you need to be specific about WHAT about this film interests families and children. 
Your font changes a lot - can you make sure it is consistent and the same colour and type? Literacy - you say that you want a grade 6-7 but you don't write in formal language with simple things like capital letters for film titles and correct punctuation! Proofread as there are a LOT of typos which just looks lazy! 
Mise-en-scene:
WWW: You are using some observation skills using all the aspects of CLAMPS 
EBI- You are not writing in nearly enough detail for GCSE level. When you are giving verbal feedback in class you are really detailed but you are not that way in your writing and it is disappointing. You are not saying anything about Clueless the film - you start by saying 'she' without even writing who 'she' is! Be formal and detailed. Have a look at some of the other blogs to see the level of detail that I want to see: https://kimmediagcse.blogspot.com/
Adverts- Denotation and Connotation:
WWW-You have analysed the Water Aid advert well, considering setting and camera shots, facial expression and other aspects of mise-en-scene so well done. 
For your advert (the game) you have picked up on the audience but that is all you have said. You need to look more carefully at each aspect. What is the product? What is the game about? 
EBI
For the two adverts, you have not really written a clear POINT where you say what the unique selling point or message from the producer for the consumer is of each product and then all the evidence you can find that connotes this message. 

Stranger Things Analysis:

WWW- You have chosen some good moments to focus on but, as with your other blog posts, it is not detailed enough. 
EBI- You have chosen only ONE aspect of the trailer such as 'the lights are flickering' and not said when in the trailer. Again, you say 'the setting is Mike's house' instead of looking at all the juxtaposed settings: it opens with the lab (why? Effect?) then cuts to suburban, normal house (why? Effect?) then cuts to the long, eerie road, then the sign for the lab and then Will's empty house in the mist...Make sure you are writing in a Point - Evidence - Effect on audience structure so that you have a clear point and then back it up using detail from the trailer. Be as specific as you can for instance think more about how the different characters are established e.g. how do we know Dustin is the funny one? That Mike is the Leader? That they are a bunch of misfits who are not conventionally 'popular' young people? 
LR:
1.Go back to the first ten questions. Can you please make the Grinch analysis into a proper paragraph and choose parts of the film (the narrative? The setting? The characters?) and say what it is about this film that 'many people' relate to, and which types of people specifically e.g. mostly female or male? Age? Done
2. Make the changes as above to the Stranger Things analysis. Write it as a Point-Evidence - Effect on audience structure and think more about the individual characters. Do this in Green font so I can see the changes.Done
3. Publish the film poster analysis. Done
4. Read ALL of your blog posts and check for spelling errors, missing letters, use capital letters for names of films and characters and at the start of each sentence. Literacy is important! Done
Thanks! And well done on an excellent start to the subject in your understanding of texts and the media - you just need to put more effort into the writing part on your Blog! 🙂

Audience Effects Theory

The most general codes and conventions within music videos include: The style (performance, concept, narrative) The camera. The editing techniques (transitions, fast, slow) 2) What is intertextuality? Media intertextuality, by definition, seeks and theorises links and connections between media texts and textualised social life while global media discourse analysis shows how the globalised political economy of late capitalism influences the content and format of a wide range of media products. 3) When did music videos first become a major part of the music industry?
