1. By this weekend, make sure I have your work on the 2 set front pages (Mirror and The Times), either via your blog or email me.
2. For those of you who do not have a copy of the paper on Genre Theory, you can find it here:
http://visual-memory.co.uk/daniel/Documents/intgenre/chandler_genre_theory.pdf
Read it carefully (not the night before). I know most of you have done so already. You will need to answer questions on it next week.
3. Read the notes distributed today on The Times. Not everything will make sense as we have not covered all the theory mentioned yet but make sure you look at the product context and the section on Media Language and Representation. You can use these notes to complete you analysis (see 1. above).
Next week, we will do a little more work on Photoshop, complete our study of the Mirror set text (the transcript of the copy - inside pages) and work on the Genre paper linked above.
Ask if you are unsure about anything.

Due in Wednesday 20th December
1. Annotate the film poster for the Kiss of the Vampire (set text) (see below)
2. Do some research on Hammer Films and prepare 5-6 bullet points to sum up your findings, including the type of narrative and gender representations to found in these films. (see below)
3. Your blog should feature your Stupid Girls project and an evaluation of it. In particular, go back to the questions that were posed and evaluate to what extent you have answered them, then add anything that you think you have not included or discussed well enough, or in response to feedback given. You can write or vlog. Keep it on your blog.
The questions were:
) What messages are encoded about gender and femininity in Pink's video?
2) Is it a fair argument?
3) What representations of women are created, and how are they constructed?
4) How is the audience positioned?
5) Is this a post-feminist text?
4. I will need to see your files next week, including annotated / highlighted reading pieces (at least 6 of them, 7 including PINK POSTFEMINISM)
Some images to help with the research.
