Hello Sasha, Mr Moul here. As promised I have checked your online blog so I can provide an assessment of your year 10 media studies work. Checking your blog today was a pleasure. It is an excellent documentation of what you have studied and learnt last year and it will be a really useful resource when you come to revise for the examinations next year. Your home page is good and your diary pages are detailed and show how much work you have covered on a month to month basis. The language page is also very good; to improve this you could define the items on mise en scene and camerawork and possible show examples. Your theory pages are excellent. Once again to improve you could give examples for Propp’s characters and link Todorov’s narrative stages to a current film. The hypodermic needle page could do with some work. The most important point is that the audience is expected to be PASSIVE, whereas with the uses and gratifications theory the audience are ACTIVE. Using this terminology is important. All of your media pages are excellent, in fact the TV page goes beyond excellence, well done. The evidence of a student who excels at media studies is the amount of work they complete outside of the teaching in lessons and homework set. Your television page shows exactly this type of dedication, well done. My only comment, and it was hard to find anything to improve, was that there is no analysis of the Artic Monkeys music video, which Ms. Stephens has listed as having been covered. To summarise Sasha, this is an excellent blog and you should be very proud of what you have achieved over the past year. I would like to see this continue through to A level media and BTEC Television and Film in the sixth form, although I know your family’s employment situation is not clear as yet. Enjoy the rest of the holiday and I look forward to seeing you back at BSM in September. If you have any questions, please email me back. After reading this very detailed feedback I was given I wrote a list of things I need to improve on. One of which was add more of my photographs onto my blog, which I did under my photography tab I added a Gallery tab. I am still working on making the page more organised and uploading more images, it's a work in progress.
In addition I added example of both the Propp and Todorov theory using modern movies/films to show how the theory work. I also updated my syringe theory page and my Uses and Gratification page to highlight the differences between passive and active audience. On the syringe theory page I also added more information along side another example or a real life situation. Thankyou for the feedback, it really helped and I hope I did all that was asked

Sasha, your blog is always a pleasure to read: your photography is developing well as well as showing much more of your personality and experimentation. Your analysis is clear, well structured and uses terminology well, Journal entries are outstanding: detailed, consider all aspects of the course and set into developed sections. A real strength. EBI: try to develop your analysis of Class to include cinematography After getting this feedback on my blog all I looked over my Class analysis and tried to intertwine cinematography aspects of the show in my further work of the show when looking into the codes and conventions of the T.V show. I actually found this quite hard to do, as I haven't really properly watched the show myself in detail, this way having less knowledge of it. I'm not sure if i've got into enough detail in the cinematography field, and if I do I will be happy to watch an episode to get more information.
Clear blog- really creative. CD cover uploaded and well explained. Clear marketing and advertising analysis with confident media language. Own advert is clear- think about costume further to appeal to an audience- what is typical of these adverts? EBI: researched timeline missing (costs included but not breakdown of what when for Doctor Strange). Try to add more detail in your timeline (you are budget less but think about how much you anticipate it would cost). PS: please remove your telephone number form your blog (just for safety's sake!) My response to this was that I looked into the costume and why I had choose to leave her shoulders bare, you can see this presented under my Media, Music Video tab. I also had finished and posted the work about the Dr. Strange timeline which you can also find there and deleted my phone number from my contacts, oops.
Really good layout in your blog. the drop downs were really clear and i could find what needed to so that was really useful! You used your own templates rather than using the templates in the blog that was really good. Also the pictures you took were really good and used in this blog is fantastic. The media language in your work was effective, and you explained a post really well. the details and effort you put is amazing! you described the angles of the camera, what camera shot is was, so it was really good. all your work is done and everything is there in the drop downs, so that's completed and they are structured well. well done! The feedback I got from my peers was very positive and due to this I didn't have anything I could improve on.
