November Blog Feedback

-

 


WWW: Well done for a solid start to the course and for your blog work so far. Your first blog post and media consumption are both honest and reflective. I commend you for allowing your parents to expose you to a variety of different films (great signs of a fantastic Media Studies student).  

Next steps:

  1. Ensure that you meet deadlines - the last two blogs were posted after the due date

  2. In order to achieve top grades you need to be completing A/A* extension tasks in blogs e.g the narrative blog task


Learner response: Correct the above and then answer the questions below:


Reflect on your work in A Level Media so far:

What is your strongest piece of work? 

I think my best/strongest piece of work is the latest one: Audience Theory 1.

What is your weakest? 

I think that my weakest works were the first two: Media Quiz and My Media Consumption

What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop over the rest of the course?

I need to work on managing to hand in word on time and I need to start doing the extension tasks.

Media Quiz - first 10 questions

-
 1.) I chose A-level since I enjoyed literature and the act of analysing different texts. I assumed that media would be the same thing only with different kinds of media like movies and magazines.  2.) I did not take media as a GCSE and I did attend Greenford high school last year.  3.)  4.) B or above 5.) After A-levels id like to continue to peruse in product design. 6.) I think the biggest media story of 2025 was the superman movie since it had a lot of good reviews and a lot of watchers. 7.) I mostly use newspapers and random pop up adds to see what current affairs have been like.  8.) The last film I watched was the Phantom of the opera sequel "love never dies" it wasn't very good but I still sat through it.  9.) My favourite TV series is Attack on Titan.  10.) I spend about 6-7 hours a day on my phone. I think thats a bit too high.

My media consumption

-
 Newspapers: 1.) I'll usually read whatever newspaper has been left on a bus or train seat.  2.) I usually flip to the part with the word cross of the part of the newspaper that's being advertised on the front page.  3.) I never read the spots section, I've never found an interest in it.  4.) I tend to read the stories about something new that's been discovered or the part of the paper where all the shocking things are written like car crashes and stuff of that kind.  5.) No 6.) I sometimes click on random articles that have come up on my recommended page, its not usually the same company though. I just click on whatever seems interesting when I've got nothing to do.  Magazines: 1.) I like to read the advertisement section or the part where you learn to do new things since I find it interesting.  2.) I never read the "Celebrity gossip" part since I can never remember any of their names.  Television: 1.) Very little, if I do it's for a movie so abo...

English (by Tarun Thind): PART 1: 1.) Throughout the entire movie the two characters are shown to be young delinquent teenagers who do little but cause trouble. However once you finish the film you find out that both the boys are deaf, so the "fights" that they had gotten into was due to them not being able to hear what others had to say and they took their hostile and angry actions as threats. You also are able to see that the two boys have a generous and somewhat caring personas, they steal bananas and give them to a homeless man who they had terrorised previously. So it't not the most charitable thing in the world but its the most generous things the boys are show doing in the movie.  2.) At the end of the film the two characters and revealed to be deaf. De Saussure's belief that signs are polysemic was one that believed that signs and their meanings are derived from societies general interpretation of it. Throughout the movie, as a West London audience, we assumed...
