Year 13 Media Studies Ongoing Progress

Week Beginning 30th January 2012
All pupils will sit a mock exam next Friday (10th February). You need to revisit al topics for 1A in effort to fully prepare for this exam. Remember, you must be sure of the different examples you will be referring to from your productions at AS and A2.
Week beginning 6th February 2012
For those of you who missed today's lesson (Which was a large number of you), you will need to further develop your understanding of representation and the issues evolving from this. Some examples of theories you need to develop your understanding of are:

• Dyer's Signs of character
• Media Stereotyping
• Representations and Absence
• Laura Mulvey - 'The male gaze / Psychoanalytical theory'

You must relate your AS or A2 production to theories which concern representation. For example, you may analyse the opening sequence that you created in year twelve and consider how the characters and setting are represented. You must refer to specific examples ot support your points and ideas.
