Blog feedback and learner response

WWW: An excellent blog with some impressive detail to your analysis. You are already using media language extensively and confidently - great to see considering you didn't study GCSE Media.

EBI: Use paragraphs to divide up your analyses - this will also help you write in even more depth about specific aspects of texts. I'd like to see a little more depth to your Institution lesson reflection. Finally, you need to change the newspapers you read! The Star? A Media student? Surely not!

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?

I feel as if my strongest piece of work so far is the analysing the mis-en-scene images because I found it easy to analyse the different aspects and make comparisons between different images. I find that my weakest point is analysing the lighting effects on images as I find it hard to expand my explanation of what the lighting effects mean. The different specific skills or knowledge I need to develop over the rest of the course are my media terminology and to expand my thinking in finding the meaning of effects with extracts as well as scene images.
