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
