Goodluck with your first A-level Media essay!
Just remember, don't take anything for granted - question why Ridley Scott made the decisions he did. Then link these reasons to the theories you have learnt.

Next blogging task...
You should already have a post about why you choose to study Media Studies and a post with all the various camera shots and angles.
Your next task is to post the notes you made on the theories/concepts that we have looked at these past few weeks. This includes:
Barthes' semiotics (signifier and signified)
Propp's roles of actions (characters)
Freud and Lacan's scopophilia and voyeurism (looking at others to gain sense of identity, pleasure from looking at people)
Laura Mulvey's Male Gaze (objectification of women in film)
If you can evidence your consideration of these theories/concepts during your practical production then you will be showing a high level of understanding of the media.
There are many articles about these theories/concepts to be found on the web and in books.
Goodluck!

If you are having difficulties posting...
Click on the 'settings' tab on your blog editor, scroll down to 'global settings' and the first option 'select post editor'. If you click the 'old editor' option, that should solve the problem.
Now there is no excuse for you not to be posting the work that you have been asked to do!

Your first blogging task....
You should all now have a blog named 'Foundation Portfolio G321'.
In Monday's lesson you began typing up your first, very short post about why you chose Media Studies. We will upload this in Wednesday's lesson.
Before Wednesday you need to upload the photos you took with Mr Palmer into several separate posts so that each one explains a different type of shot and its purpose/effect. Please see the blog below for an example:

Remember - your blogs will be marked so make them look professional from the start
Goodluck!
