​ Y10 blog Feedback October 2024

 



WWW: A promising start to Media Studies – well done for completing mostly all your blog work! Your fruit bowl is creative and well designed and showcases your technical ability, good choice of image in the end. It is promising that you are aiming for a top Grade for your GCSE grade – let’s achieve this! Your camerawork blog post is detailed and analytical.

EBI: Ensure that you complete all questions for each blog post. For example the denotation and connotation blog post is missing the analysis of the Water Aid advert. Your mise-en-scene of the opening to the Stranger Things opening is too short. Could you also use the Snipping Tool to screenshot the images of the shots for the camerawork blog post.

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.

Please go back and add further detail to the camerawork blog post. 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 feel my biggest piece of strength was the Photoshop work. I feel that my weakest piece of skill or knowledge is mise-en-scene. The specific skills or knowledge i need know is to memorise all camera shots and angles.
