Media assessment 1: learner response

 Create a new blog post called 'Media assessment 1: Learner response' and complete the following tasks:


1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential).
Ensure you read Q's carefully to avoid losing careless marks. e.g. Q5 you did  not identify the camera shot / effect on audience.
Perhaps timing, not enough detail for final Q6.

2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Write down the mark you achieved for each question: 

Q1: 1 mark 
Q2: 1 mark
Q3: 7 marks
Q4: 2 marks
Q5: 3 marks
Q6: 3 marks

3) Identify one of your stronger questions. Why did you do better on this question? Use the mark scheme to help you with this.
I did the best on question 3 as I identified most of the advert features and what types of feelings the advert connotated using the colour red, using slogans etc.

4) Identify one of your weaker questions. Why did you score lower on this particular question? Use the mark scheme to help you with this.
Q5 & Q6 I scored lower as I didn't go into enough detail and didn't go into specifics about camera shots and what influence it had on the consumer.

5) Finally, write a new, detailed paragraph for Question 3 - the unseen text 12 mark question. Use the mark scheme to identify anticipated content you can add to your response and make sure you refer to the text and write in detail. 
Using a popular Celebrity such as Beyoncé connotates a sense of  power and superiority, this is reiterated as she's shot from a low camera angle, which makes her appear taller and more attractive as she stares down the camera. The use of darker and more intense reds connotates heat and intimacy, as the darker it is the more personal it feels and the red is linked to fire but also attraction.

Mise-en-scene: Stranger Things analysis

Image
Mise-en-scene is a vital aspect of media language and builds nicely on our work on denotation and connotation. Mise-en-scène is a French term meaning ‘Putting on Stage’.  It refers to the Media language used by the producer in their media product to communicate with their audience so…everything we see on screen. We can remember what this includes using the acronym CLAMPS: Costume Lighting Actor placement and movement Make-up Props Setting When we look at a clip, image or advert in Media Studies we need to be able to identify aspects of  mise-en-scene  and explain the effect it has on the audience.   Choose  THREE  aspects of mise-en-scene (e.g. costume, lighting and setting) and write a short paragraph for  each  about the  denotation  and  connotation  and what is communicated to the audience. Lighting: In the beginning the scene starts outside, at night, only being illuminated by sparse synthetic lighting. This becomes a runn...
