WWW: Two good posts – but you’re also missing a fair amount of work. The opening questions are solid and the media language analysis of the Monsters vs Aliens poster is very good. However, there’s more missing work than posted.

EBI: You clearly need to ensure all missing work is on your Media blog urgently. It’s common to have blog issues in the first couple of weeks (perhaps your work is in drafts and needs to be published?) but if you don’t complete work in Media you will fail the course – it is as simple as that. The work you need to post: Fruit bowl; Camerawork photo storyboard pictures and analysis; Minority Report shot-by-shot analysis. In terms of feedback of your film poster analysis, it starts well but then you lose detail. Institution looks cut-and-pasted – you need to avoid this at all costs. For audience and representation there are so many interesting things you could say about gender but you just don’t go into enough detail.

LR: Post the missing pieces of work and send me an email when they’re up on your blog. Then, reflect on your first month of Media. What do you feel is your strongest piece of work so far? What is your weakest? What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop over the rest of the course?
