My LRs

Post this in a new blogpost on your Media blog and complete the LR tasks/questions below.

WWW: A very solid start to Media – well done! Your fruit bowl is stunning and the selection of camera shots and angles for the photo storyboard well chosen. You’ve told a good story and identified the shots correctly. Brotherhood is also a good choice for the film poster analysis.

EBI: The clear area to develop over the next year is your written Media analysis. If you look at the last couple of questions for your opening blog post (the 10 questions) then you’re really not telling me anything about Sherlock at all. As a Media student, you need to offer SO much more than this – you think that the main thing we learn about the characters is that the actors learn their lines well? I’m certain you can do better than this. It’s a similar picture for your film poster analysis: not enough depth and detail. Over time, you’ll have to be writing in much more detailed paragraphs that offer a lot more depth of analysis in terms of key conventions and audience. This means exploring the different possible interpretations that audiences may take from a media product and really answering the question you are given.

LR: 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?
