WWW: I like your answers to the Media consumption audit – both in terms of the honesty of not really reading newspapers (though the Guardian website counts for that) but also the fact you watch some good TV and film and also listen to podcasts. This range of media consumption will really help you with the course – if you can add a little to it too you’ll be in great shape.

EBI: Two key areas to improve here: firstly, some of your work is missing or unfinished and it’s important to make sure you are organised and fully completing work. You’re actually missing the very first blog task – 10 questions – which I really like to read to get to know people. The questions are on this blogpost so make sure you create the blogpost and answer them: http://mediamacguffin12.blogspot.com/2023/09/welcome-to-level-media-studies.html


 What is your strongest piece of work? What is your weakest? What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop over the rest of the course?

My strongest piece of work has to be semiotic blog task. This is because I had a good understanding about icons, index and symbols which kinda build up my confidence in mr Halsey’s lesson  to answer more and to not think that my answers will always not be useful.

My weakest piece of work is definitely getting to know you,   Because I literally was stuck answering those questions as I don’t know myself.

I think the specific skills I need to develop is to work harder and to overachieve my predicted grades.

Blog task: Score advert and wider reading

-
  Blog task: Score advert and wider reading 1) How did advertising techniques change in the 1960s and how does the Score advert reflect this change? advertising agencies  in the 1960s relied less on market research and leaned more toward  creative instinct in planning their campaigns. “Eschewing portrayals  of elitism, authoritarianism, reverence for institutions and other  traditional beliefs, ads attempted to win over consumers with  humour, candour and, above all, irony.” The score advert demonstrates this through its patriarchal depiction of the man as being superior and dominant over the women in the advert while also reinforcing the contemporary beliefs of the time about colonisation and presenting it as a 'manly' and socially accepted portrayal of a man to be hunting and carried around in a foreign land. 2) What representations of women were found in post-war British advertising campaigns? campaigns that very effectively reinforced that idea that a w...
