END OF TERM REVIEW
Please complete the survey below.
In addition, if you want to continue with Media Studies next term you MUST ensure that the following work has been completed.
Assignment 1a (2 x analysis of magazine front cover)
Assignment 1b (1 x your own original magazine front cover with annotations)
Both of these elements of Assignment 1 need to focus on how they appeal to the target audience/readership.
From the work that I have seen, it is clear that some of you have worked very hard and are achieving a high level but some others are not reaching the level expected and may have to have another go at the assignments.
In addition, you should have completed the analysis of the Levis Print advert and the Coca Cola moving image advert as well as reflections on the seat belt advert we watched and your own choice of advert. These pieces of work will be leveled shortly.
Other home learning to be finished: representation collage, The Game film, storyboard for advert competition.
If you have not completed these various elements we will need to discuss your progress.

THIS WEEK'S CLASS
Due to my absence this Wednesday, I am setting you a task to do as a piece of independent learning.
Last week we looked at the coke advert in detail and you came up with some excellent answers and started to use the media language.
This week I would like you to look at a different advert - two print ads for the same brand.
LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PRINT ADVERT AND ANALYSE IT.
Ensure that you are using media language:
representation, target audience, institution
denotation, connotation, mise en scene, logo, slogan, trademark, brand, direct address
Think deeply about why the logo is the way it is and how the product is shown. Think carefully about what message the brand is offering us and why.

SECURITY!
Due to our internet security policy we have to make some changes to the blog and who we allow to read it. Please could you change your security settings for your own blogs in the following way.
Go to SETTINGS - PERMISSIONS and change the READERS to ONLY PEOPLE I INVITE.
The add me to that: tholloway (at the usual Brentford school email address)
You may also add each other but no one from outside of the class.
THIS IS IMPORTANT AND SHOULD BE DONE IMMEDIATELY.

COKE ADVERT
Write up your analysis using the terminology we learnt in the lesson.
Aim for 250-400 words.
REMEMBER - your focus of attention is how the product is represented to the audience and what messages are being conveyed to the audience through the advert. Try to use media language including shot sizes, design.
