WED 1ST FEB

ASS2a L4

WEDNESDAY 11TH JANUARY

Our lesson on Wednesday will take place as usual in C1.

This is the last lesson when I will be able to give you time to complete your Adverts.

As you know from next week these need to be complete so that we can enter them into the competition and so that you can begin your Assignment 2.

You will find on the Assignment 2 page a lot of resources regarding this and your home learning this week will be to read through these in preparation for next weeks lessons.

Finally, a reminder that if you have NOT completed either element of Assignment 1 please do so ASAP and ensure that I have them in a form which can be printed easily or better still print them yourself but make sure that your name is on them. Once again, if you want to improve these taking into account the exemplars on the Assignment 1 pages please do so. It is not too late to make a difference.

Once I have them all, I will be giving Media levels.

Finally, there will be more tutorials on Wednesday to ensure that you are all up to date and clear about how you are progressing.

WINTER TERM

First lesson of the term will be devoted to work on your adverts. Please come prepared with all props and costumes and expect to work independently for the duration of the class. Adverts need to be completed to submit by the 20th January.

Also, please remember that Assignment 1a should now be complete and delivered in the form shown on the ASSIGNMENT 1 page - remember that I have given you every detail about what should be included, denotation and connotations and don't forget the discuss audience. Word limit 500 words for both 1a and 1b - suggested 350 on a and 150 on b.

LAST LESSON OF THE TERM

REMINDER

Also ensure that you are up to date with the work listed in the previous post.

Those of you who have completed additional filming or editing, well done, you are learning to use the facilities and develop the right habits for success. Those of you who want to do this but haven't yet, please make some time to come to C1 either on Monday or Tuesday and you can work with the cameras or on the iMacs.

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.
