Blog Feedback and Learner Response

WWW-Your Fruit Bowl is beautiful and shows a creative competence on Photoshop. I love the pastel colours. You have used some good media terminology in your denotation and connotation task on the Water Aid advert and made a decent start at analysing your own advert.

EBI-Your introductory post is too brief and not written in full sentences with carefully written, accurate English at all times. I like the analysis of

Sherlock but you need to embed the link and also be specific about which part of the clip you are referring to. Your Ender’s Game film poster analysis starts off well (referring to ‘production’ and ‘tag line’) but it is unfinished which is disappointing. Your level of analysis could be improved on the analysis of the Innocent Smoothie advert: look at the clouds in the setting and the image of the strawberry so you are picking out finer details to analyse.

LR: Improve the posts that are not in enough depth; go back to Macguffin posts for examples such as LIAR so you can see how in-depth the analysis needs to be at GCSE level. Then, reflect on your first month of Media.

I believe my strongest work is my Innocent smoothie advert analysis.
Before I improved it, I'd say the Ender's Game poster analysis.
I need to learn how to write accurate and detailed posts showing exactly what the task requires of me.
Research what I'm working on and ask my teacher questions or for help if I am stuck.
