Blog feedback and LR

-

WWW: Your blog is fully up to date and your reflection on the mise-en-scene recreation is exactly what I want to see in an LR task. I completely agree regarding the attention to detail in terms of movement and expression and you’ve also summarised the importance of mise-en-scene effectively.

EBI: The area to focus your attention is the level of depth and detail to your analytical tasks. For both the film poster analysis and mise-en-scene tasks you rarely write more than a few sentences of analysis. For the top grades at A Level you will need to offer a lot more detail, exploring a range of meanings or perspectives and drilling down into the detail of the way media products are constructed. 

LR: Create a blogpost on your Media 2 Coursework blog called ‘Blog feedback and learner response’, copy this feedback in and then complete the following learner response.

Reflect on your first month of Film & TV Language. 

What aspect of Film & TV language have you most enjoyed studying?

I have enjoyed studying mise-en-scene as it is one of the most crucial elements to filmmaking

What is your strongest piece of work so far?

My mise en scene recreation

What is your weakest?

My film poster analysis

What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop before we start coursework at the end of Year 12?

I need to develop my detail in my blog tasks and I also need to learn how to analyse media products to a greater depth

Mise-en-scene

The actor is wearing clown makeup which could connote craziness and madness, which is reinforced by his bright coloured clothing. Bright colours have associations with the circus which links back to the actor's clown makeup. The actor is dancing in the middle of public as seen by the railings, stairs, the littered-street and the graffiti on the walls which also signals that the man has gone insane. Extract 1 The woman's home is dimly-lit to reinforce the film's theme of horror as darkness has connotations of the scary and unknown. The woman is wearing a casual outfit and is in her home. This signifies that scary things can happen to any ordinary person. There is a build-up of scary music to raise tension and keep the viewer on edge. The popcorn is used to add extra stakes and grip the viewer as they will want to know if it will explode or not. Extract 2 The man is training in different places to show his dedication and hard work. He is wearing sporty clothes and gym outfits
