Audience Effects Theory 1.

Blog feedback and Learner response

  Blog feedback and Learner response I think my strongest piece of Media work this month is the Stranger Things Mise-en-scene work, However I believe the one I potentially struggled with the most was the Doctor Who camerawork analysis. I also believe I have to be more descriptive when presenting my work. WWW: A brilliant start to Media Studies – well done for completing all your blog work! Your fruit bowl is creative and well designed and showcases your technical ability. It is promising that you are aiming for a top Grade for your GCSE grade – let’s achieve this! I really enjoy the Black Pink unit of work too so hopefully you do too! EBI: Ensure that you complete all blog work is completed to a high standard and complete any extension work if you would like to achieve a top grade in the subject.
