CLASS FEEDBACK BASED ON THIS MORNING:
Good background research.
Good use of visuals and embeds to show us what you are thinking of.
Good grasp of conventions for your given genre.
Generally, you need to think more carefully about the representation you are constructing, the messages you are embedding.
IMAGINE THAT YOUR VIDEO IS BEING ANALYSED IN THE WAY WE ANALYSE 'RIPTIDE' AND 'FORMATION'. What would the key encoded messages be? What would a negotiated reading of your video be? What would the theorists say about your constructed meanings?
Additionally, define what conventions you are adhering to and WHICH CONVENTIONS YOU ARE SUBVERTING.
So generally, we need a bit less predictability and a bit more originality.
FOR EXAMPLE, Almira's ideas could be enhanced further by layering ideas around social media, notions of hyper-reality etc
CHALLENGE YOURSELF, STRETCH YOUR CONCEPT AND USE THE HEADINGS BELOW TO FLESH OUT YOUR IDEAS. YOU WILL NEED SUCH RICH CONTENT FOR YOUR STATEMENT OF AIMS.
1. What's the narrative? What representations (age, gender, social class or group, ethnicity, location...) are constructed? What are my key (encoded) messages?
2. How will I communicate these messages?
3 What would Butler, Van Zoonen, hooks, Gauntlett, Gilroy, Hall, Baudrillard and others say about those messages?
