How can
independent learning help me in at A2?
What do you notice?
·
ability to plan and construct media products using appropriate technical and creative skills (AO3)
·
application of knowledge and understanding in evaluating their own
work, showing how meanings and responses are created (AO2)
·
ability to undertake, apply and present appropriate research (AO4).
When comparing the
highlighted words and the performance description for media studies, I have
learnt that I need to be able to plan and organise my work and add key content
that is expressive and accurate in my writing. I shall do this by looking at
others previous work and seeing the make (grade) that they got. I will then use
the key ideas that they use and apply it to my own. This will help my work to
improve and hopefully contain all relevant contexts that will boost my grade.
Through my work I need to show technical and creative skills, I can to this by
planning different steps within my blog and show how they will adapt into my
final product. To further my information within my blog I shall perform
independent research to find out audience theory to the unit that we are
looking at this year (Horror genre). I will show my ability to undertake, apply
and present appropriate research I will use different presentation skills
within my blog, this will be in the forms of Prezi, Slideshare, Audio and
Video. When evaluating my work I shall use the audience/ user response to see
their views and opinions towards my product.
From this I can then adapt my work according to their comments be they
positive or negative.
I can show my
research in different forms, this can be from definitions or certain
information pages about practitioners such as Levi Strauss. Furthermore I can
show the sources in which I find my information and adapt it to my own accord
and understanding.
Above are the market
criteria that are aimed for a B which is my target level. From this I gather
that in order to reach or aim above my target grade that I need to make sure
that all my work is up to date and full of information that supports my blog
and the research that I am finding. I will show my planning for the different
projects on my blog in order for people to see my progress and how my ideas
have adapted and advanced.
I need to look at who the target audience is for the film
genre Horror and how the different sub-genres attract different people. I know
that for some of this research it will be harder to find the relevant
information I need in order to be specific and claim the higher grades. I can
also look at contrasting genres (in less detail) and compare them to the genre
of Horror. By doing this there will be a clear difference of target audiences
and style.
I can use story boarding in order to show the progress and
adaptation of my work. It will give me a visual piece of evidence that is
creative and will help to express ideas.
I will make sure that I can get enough actors and props to
use in an appropriate manor by making sure that use my time appropriately and
ask them in advance. This will link into my time management skills.
