- Task 1: Continue working on your film industry documentary. You have been given detailed guidance to help your research.
- Task 2: For those of you who had a lesson with me, we started learning about Representation in the Media.
You should complete the following tasks:
First listen to the following plenary (video) and write some comments below this post summing up what you think is clearly explained and what should have been clearer in the video. It would be good to see you build on each other's comments.
Be as specific as possible to showcase your understanding so far. (No need to comment on the fact that the light source is behind you!)
- Task 3: You have been given a handout on John Berger's Ways of Seeing (3 slides). You need to read carefully and annotate, including questions if you are struggling with it. You can take a picture of the completed work and upload to your blog or you could write up your notes on your blog. Bring your annotated sheet to next lesson.
- Task 4: Read the following article and tweet your reactions using the hashtag #womenrep before our next triple. Please make sure you engage with the conversation.
ARTICLE:
The Sun's Page 3 is the highly visible tip of misogyny's iceberg
A lot of women feel that people who want an end to Page 3 are uptight harridans, envious, bitter and prudish, but it's important to understand why this editorial gimmick is so nasty
GOOD LUCK AND SPREAD THE LOAD. EMAIL OR TWEET IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING.
I think that the video was quite monotone at times, but that their explanations of the task they completed were good.
ReplyDeleteOn a positive note, they focused on the topic. However, they could have used more camera angles, and included a small clip on their topic.
ReplyDeleteThe tones used by the three people was slow and the same all the way through. Also there was a lot of background noise which at times makes it harder to hear.
ReplyDeleteThe video could have been a lot better and we could have explained few of the points furthur and expand on them; We could have used changed more camera angles as Hemina said...
ReplyDeleteFor being their first blog I thought it was quite good. I think if they changed the camera angles and maybe shot from different places it could of been better.
ReplyDeletei thought that the presentation was not very good and that our voices where not very enthusiastic but then the information give by us was very informative and well thought out :D
ReplyDeleteYes, the point was to do a simple recording of the plenary.
ReplyDeleteYou need to get a sense of depth...
Was the key concept of representation explained clearly enough? would you be able to explain it to someone else after listening?
Were the examples clear enough?
What about the bigger implications of Women's identity appraoched at all in the presentation? To what extent?
etc...
Next time, more detailed feedback please! You need to show that you engage with the content and the ideas.
But well done for trying!
