Critical Perspectives Question 1b
This document provides an overview of several theories related to analyzing media texts, including semiotics, representation, genre, narrative, and audience. It discusses key concepts from theorists such as Roland Barthes, Ferdinand de Saussure, Stuart Hall, Laura Mulvey, and Daniel Chandler. Students are prompted to apply these concepts to analyze elements of their own media productions.
Collective Identities Power Point
1) The document discusses representations of Britishness and collective identity in television and film over time, specifically analyzing Saturday Night, Sunday Morning and Coronation Street from the 1960s and comparing them to more modern representations.
2) It explores how identity and Britishness are complex concepts that have changed significantly, influenced by social, cultural, and technological changes in society. The media plays a role in representing these changes.
3) Social realist films from the 1960s depicted working-class life in a gritty style and represented changing attitudes of the younger generation, offering one version of British collective identity, while more modern commercial films have presented alternative versions to much larger audiences.
Representation theory
The document discusses the concept of representation and mediation in media texts. It explains that all media representations involve three key processes: selection, where certain elements are chosen over others; organization, where elements are arranged in particular ways; and focusing, where the media directs audience attention. It also discusses three views of representation - the reflective view which sees media as accurately reflecting reality, the intentional view which sees representation as intentional portrayal, and the constructionist view which sees representation as a complex interaction between the object, creator, audience and societal context. Representations are never exact reflections of reality but mediated portrayals that audiences interpret based on their own perspectives and societal influences.
Kes
Kes is a 1969 British film directed by Ken Loach based on the novel 'A Kestrel for a Knave' by Barry Hines, about a working class boy growing up in Barnsley, England in the 1960s. The film is highly regarded as one of the best British films ever made and appears on lists of top films for youth to see to represent experiences of youth, identity and life in Britain.
Day 2 presentation what is assessment
This document discusses assessment in education. It begins by reviewing learning theories and multiple intelligences. It then discusses the purposes and benefits of assessment, as well as potential barriers like unclear objectives and overuse. The document outlines different types of assessment, including diagnostic, formative, and summative assessment. It also discusses what can be assessed, like knowledge, skills, understanding, and aptitude. The document provides guidance on creating effective assessments, considering student starting points and multiple intelligences. It emphasizes the importance of assessment in discovering the truth about an educational system and driving student learning.
Shot Composition
This document discusses different camera techniques used to communicate representation. It describes techniques like balance, symmetry, asymmetry, the rule of thirds, depth of field, shallow focus, deep focus, foreground, midground, background, and focus pulls. These techniques are used to arrange elements, show order or disorder, create visual interest, emphasize certain parts of the image, and change the focus between subjects or characters.
Media language
This document introduces key concepts for studying media at A-Level, including representations, audiences, institutions, language, ideology, narrative, and genre. It focuses on the concepts of language, narrative, and genre. Language in media includes codes that construct meaning, such as visual codes, audio codes, and written codes. Narrative refers to the story elements of a media text. Genre describes the type or category of a media text, such as comedy or action. The document provides examples of analyzing images by describing what is seen (denotation) and interpreting what is happening (connotation). Framing techniques like camera angles, distances, and lens types are also discussed.
