WWW: Great to see some work – I assumed it would be a
technical issue rather than a failure to complete the tasks! You’ve clearly
engaged with the texts and have chosen some interesting films and images for
the mise-en-scene task. The challenge now is to take this positive start and
add the depth of analysis that will take you to the higher grades in Media.
EBI: Firstly, you are still missing a few bits of work
(unless I’ve missed them): Film Noir research and the lighting images are not
complete (some only have the questions under them). Obviously we’ve had blog
issues but I’d like you to sort this out by Friday.
My main concern is actually your written English – it is the main thing currently that will hold you back from an A-C grade in Media. Your spelling is poor – “Creed: From the charters attire” suggests a lack of attention to detail or proofreading. Similarly, you don’t always use capital letters which is unacceptable at this level. A Level study demands a level of literacy that your blog isn’t currently demonstrating – it’s absolutely crucial that you address this urgently. One area that will certainly help in this regard is reading high-quality journalism regularly. If you regularly read extended news stories from a respected news organisation such as the Guardian then you will find the accuracy of your own writing will start to improve.
LR: Firstly, make sure you catch up with the missing work by the end of this week. Then, for your LR, reflect on your first month of Film Language. 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?
