Orkena's Media GCSE Blog

 WWW: A superb first assesment that is already at an impressively high grad. Excellent knowledge of  media terminoligy shown.  EBI: To push into 7-9 grades you need a bit more depth/detail on the high mark questions.For example  you couldve written an additional pg for Q9 and offered examples of charity adverts using children. Q1: 1/1 Q2: 1/1 Q3: 2/2 Q4: 2/2 Q5: 2/2 Q6: 3/3 Q7: 2/2 Q8: 2/4 I think i missed out marks in this Q because i didnt write everything i could. Q9: 4/8 I think i missed out marks because i didnt write enough and i didnt write in a lot of detail 3) NO 4) I  have multiple strong questions but my strongest is Q6 because it was 3 marks and I got everything I could get right 5) One of my weaker questions waqs obviously question 9 due to lack of detil and quantity 6) What i wrote: I think charities use pictures of children bacuse the consumers see children as weak and small which has connotations of them needing help because they're vulne...

  WWW: Wow – what an absolutely brilliant start to GCSE Media! It is such a pleasure to read your blog and the range of skills you are already displaying.

Camera shot 2 : at 2:17 you see there is a over the shoulder shot focusing on the camera screen infront of the woman sitting  Camera shot 3 : at 2:05 there is a close up on the boys face showing he is contenmt and happy with whats going on. Angle At 2:16 the medium shot is also a high angle shot because the characters eyes arent right in the middle of the screen and you can see them looking slightly up.This could have connotations that the people who they are on a call with are more powerful then them and could tell the audience that they are higher authority or powerful characters. One Aspect of camera movement that i noticed was PAN. The director chose to use pan because it allows the audience to see that now the caharcteers have started to move in the scene which shows they're getting ready for so...
