MES, Colour and LIght - using these to analyse: Reading details in the frame: Secrets and Lies

You will watch the whole sequence.

You will be allocated TWO contrasting vignette's of the characters Maurice photographs in his studio to analyse.

You will be using the same frameworks and grids as you have been using over the last few lessons BUT you will be presenting your analysis in PAIRS using annotated video.

You will need to upload your video to the STUDENT youtube account (details on main blog page - follow the appropriate label) and then choose the 'annotation' tool. You can add bubbles, boxes and arrows.

Once completed, please upload to your blogs with a sentence or two explaining what the activity was and what you learnt.

We will help you with this.

The extracts are on the P-Drive MEDIA STUDIES NEW/Resources Library/Video/Stereotyping and representation.

They are also online on the mediamonkeymovies2 youtube channel should you be completing this work outside of school.

DEADLINE is within the lesson as advised by your teacher.

Children of Men work - still due this week!!! - 12D and 12A

The write up of the 'Children of Men' extract is due WEDNESDAY. If you haven't finished it, please enure I get it by your next lesson this week!!!

You should be writing a brief textual analysis of the extract; that means you should use what we discussed in class about the extract and the grids in your pack on pages 4 and 6 to help you - page 6 gives you lots of questions to ask yourself about the sequence.

As we discussed, you should use technical terms where you can and remember to say not just what you can see (DENOTATION) but the meanings, effects and why the element has been 'chosen' or 'used' in that way by the film-maker (CONNOTATION). If you're still not sure about denotation/connotation, read page 9 in your pack or look it up online.
