Blog feedback and learner response

WWW: A comprehensive blog that shows you are building on what you've learned in GCSE Media. Good to see regular use of media language - just make sure you are highlighting it in every post.

EBI: My main worry is the depth and detail to your analysis. Across most of your posts, analysis is in the form of bullet points and only one or two sentences. A Level demands much more and if you are to match your fantastic GCSE result you will need to offer a lot more. Write in paragraphs and make sure each paragraph only focuses on one aspect of the text - this will force you to write in much more detail and offer a variety of interpretations (critical for A Level).

LR: Reflect on your first month of AS Media. What 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?

My strongest piece of work so far would be the 'Beats by Dre' advert analysis and investigating the dominant and oppositional readings within that advert. My weakest piece of work would be the parallel and contrapuntal photo collage analysis - I could've gone into much more depth by exploring different stereotypes and interpretations for the theme of the images. For the rest of the course, I will focus on writing more detailed answers (by writing in paragraphs), especially on my blog posts in order to provide a variety of interpretations.
