WWW: It’s great that your blog is set up and you’ve posted all the work so far (aside from the fruit bowl due to absence) I really like the way you are already using media language in your denotation and connotation work – things like ‘reinforces brand recognition’. The challenge now is to push that on to the next level and aim for those really top grades.

 

EBI: Two areas to work on: attention to detail and depth of analysis. If you look at your first 10 questions, one of your answers just stops in the middle of a sentence. Secondly, your denotation and connotation work is good but I’d like to see that analysis paragraph much longer – really explore all the different possible meanings being communicated to the audience. 

LR: Create a new blogpost on your Media blog called ‘Blog feedback and Learner Response’. Copy and paste this WWW/EBI feedback into your blogpost then complete the LR tasks/questions below.

 

Reflect on your first month of Media. What do you feel is your strongest piece of work so far? What is your weakest? What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop over the rest of the course?

I think that my strongest piece of work so far is Denotation & Connotation (x2) and my weakest would be the Introductory (10 Questions) because I had no knowledge of Doctor Who so I had to research a few things and I could've done more. The skills or knowledge I need to develop would probably be analysing and explaining things better.

 Media: Galaxy 'Chauffeur' Advert - Blog Tasks 1) What key conventions of TV advertising can you find in the Galaxy advert? Narrative, use of music, slogan, celebrity 2) What is the key message the Galaxy advert is communicating about its chocolate? The slogan for the advert will help you with this question. The key message for this Galaxy advertisement is hinted at in the slogan, "Why have cotton when you can have silk?" Silk is a material that is more luxurious than cotton, and in the advertisement itself, we can visibly see that the woman eats the chocolate in the fancy car, which presents Galaxy as a luxury lifestyle. 3) Who is Audrey Hepburn and w hy did Galaxy select Audrey Hepburn for this advert?  Because she was a Hollywood film star in the 1950s and the advertisement setting was set in the 1950s, Audrey Hepburn had passed away; therefore, they used CGI and permission from the Hepburn family to make it happen, as they seemed to have wanted the advert to rely

 (1: Pick three aspects of camera movement in the Minority Report clip. Identify the type of camera movement and write about why the director chose to use that camera movement in the scene and what effect it has on the audience)   At 0:58 , the camera intentionally shakes to create a sense of chaos and disorientation. This technique makes the audience feel like they are right in the middle of the action by sharing the tension and adrenaline, which can make the chase more intense. The ariel shot at 1:46 , often taken from helicopters or drones, are used to provide a bird's-eye view of the chase. This type of camera movement gives the audience a broader perspective of the chase. At 2:21 , the camera shakes are more noticeable as the height increases, which undoubtedly indicates to the audience that a fall from here can be lethal (2: Pick two aspects of editing in the Minority Report clip and write about what effect it has on the audience) The pace of editing at the start of the scen
