Blog feedback and LR

WWW: This is a concerning picture after one month of Media. You have only completed one of the tasks required so far and while you’ve picked an excellent still image to analyse the video analysis does not offer much in terms of mise-en-scene. The best we can say here is that this is a valuable lesson in the level of organisation and workload required at A Level – now we need to step up, catch up and get everything posted on time. 


EBI: Your still image analysis is solid but for the video analysis you needed a lot more. Firstly, you need to embed the clips from YouTube or at least post links. Secondly, while using an original and a parody is an interesting take on this task it isn’t exactly what was set – I was looking for a contrast in mise-en-scene. Most importantly, the concern is the work that you are missing – the first activity analysing film posters and the video recreation. You have missed repeated deadlines and extensions for the video task and I still don’t have a final version I can watch and provide feedback on.


LR: Complete any missing or unfinished work and post it to your blog.

Reflect on your first month of Film & TV Language. What aspect of Film & TV language have you most enjoyed studying?  

i have enjoyed sound analysis the most, i liked the contrapuntal and parallel as it was quite funny catching the audiences reactions when the every bodies videos were played and it was quite funny to watch.

What is your strongest piece of work so far? What is your weakest? What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop before we start coursework at the end of Year 12?

i believe that my strongest was the contrapuntal and the parallel as i believe that it has been m best piece so far and i enjoyed it. i think my weakest was the mise en scene video recreation as i struggled with it quite abit.

Coursework: Summer Project 2023

1) Research: TV crime drama extract analysis  TV crime drama extract 1: Narrative and genre How is the narrative and the crime drama genre communicated to the audience?  TopBoy (opening scene) The montage of the British convention ;chicken shop chip boxes ,council estate, graffiti on walls ,the road market/shops. It is made clear from the start that the show is based off drug dealing ,as it opens with 2 drug addicts begging for free drugs then a drug supplier coming to discuss prices. TV crime drama  extract  2:   Mise-en-scene peaky blinders (there is God and there are the peaky blinders) What do you notice about the use of mise-en-scene to create meanings for the audience? Think CLAMPS. Mise en scene of the costuming of Nuns and the man and woman dressed in old clothing gives the sense of the narrative being set back to old times. The cigarette being held in her hand in a church then later pulling out a knife gives a sense that her character is dominant and powerful. The broken glass

TV: Capital - Marxism and Hegemony

  Task 1: Mail Online review of Capital 1) Re-read the  Mail Online review of  Capital . Why does it suggest that  Capital  features a left-wing ideology?  Capital was as stuffed full with fashionable causes as Jeremy Corbyn’s function dia ry. this suggest that captial is based on an left wing ideology 2) Choose  three  quotes from the review that are particularly critical of  Capital  and paste them into your blogpost. Do you agree with the criticisms? Why? Maybe that’s one more thing to be added to the list of politically incorrect crimes, things that we can never say and shouldn’t even think. Which, at the risk of understatement, would be a bit of a shame, really. - i disagree as i believe   this show was a fair representation of politics   Take a look at the trailer for new BBC One drama 'Capital' Loaded : 0% Progress : 0% 0:00 Previous Play Skip Mute Current Time 0:00 / Duration Time 0:40 Fullscreen Need Text You can be certain it wasn’t the plot that attracted the BBC dra

TV: Industry contexts

  Independent: British viewers can't get enough of foreign-language dramas 1) What does the article suggest regarding the traditional audience for foreign-language subtitled media? Fifteen years ago, if you'd mentioned to a colleague that you'd spent Saturday night glued to a subtitled European drama, you'd have been quietly declared pretentious, dull and, possibly, a little odd . Skip to today and foreign-language dramas aren't even on-trend, they're fully mainstream. Now we are as likely to discuss the latest Danish thriller over a morning flat white at our desks as we are a new season on HBO. 2) What does Walter Iuzzolino suggest is the key appeal of his 'Walter Presents' shows? Walter Presents is a unique proposition. Its flagship show Deutschland 83 will premiere on Channel 4 on 3 January, while other shows will appear on More4. The rest will be drip fed to us throughout 2016 via the All4 platform, where series will be consumed in the form of box s
