OVERALL FEEDBACK:
ReplyDeleteGood work. Still a 'B' grade - it needs pushing on a bit. Ideas below will help.You are behind on your posts as your textual analysis of 3 opening sequences should be on here too.
1. Audiences - images/links?
2. Research Methods - explain how you can measure audience through new media
3. Representation - Covers more than just gender. You should be discussing their age, race, nationality, class/Status, disability (if they have on - could be a mental disability as well as physical)
4. Media Institutions - write about the implications of your graph - all items you add ie links, images, film clips must be referenced ie from this graph I learnt, from this clip I thought the following points were interesting, this link taught me ideas that I would like to use when making my own opening sequence these were....
5. Audience positioning - put these images into your post on Audience earlier on as they relate to that post and not this. Look at the last 6 slides in the 'Audience' powerpoint - this post is about different shots that position the audience - take images from a film that show examples of how the shots position the audience (as per PPT)
6. Convention of Sequence - Go to ASKLSMEDIADEPARTMENT.BLOGSPOT page and look at each post on opening sequences - can this help you create additional posts? - Look especially at the two folms embedded in one post that teaches you about opening title sequences. Put these on a new post of your own and do a write up explaining what you have learnt from them and who Kyle Cooper is.
