SELF ASSESSMENT OF BLOG WORK
AO1 Key Concepts
I think I’ve analysed Sex and the City: The Movie pretty well, I have covered all of the MIGRAIN key concepts but I have focused on the representation of the women in the film and did this better than any other concepts as this is what my actual question is about.
WWW: I’ve done a detailed analysis of the representations of the women in the film from the way they talk, dress and act and have thought about why they are being represented in that particular way.
EBI: My analysis would be even better if I included more research on narrative and theories it would also be good if I analysed the representation of men in the film rather than just the women.
How to achieve it? I will watch my text AGAIN for the 50 billionth time and keep analysing it over and over again until each key concept is fully covered I will also do research on more theories and ask Mr Bush what other theories/theorist can be linked to my question/text.
A02 Demonstrate knowledge and application of the wider contexts (historical, social, political, economic) relevant to Media Studies:
I have thought about the current zeitgeist (‘spirit of the age’) and how it has affected my text but I haven’t actually done anything about it yet. Although I am constantly thinking about the A02 objective in particular social and historical e.g the suffragettes I haven’t actually sat down n started doing work on it. I need to start working on wider contexts properly and start looking at how I can link political and economical issues to it.
WWW: Not much is going well for this particular objective but I guess I’ve at least thought about the suffragettes for historical stuff.
EBI: It would be even better if I got started on SHEP and started actually focusing on it properly.
How to achieve this…I will start researching historical and social issues by reading books and searching the net and I will also try and see how I can fit in political and economic issues.
AO5 Demonstrate the ability to use appropriate investigative and research techniques in carrying out an independent study of a media text, topic or issue.
I haven’t really thoroughly reviewed the literature available for my text, I haven’t looked at books but I have looked at many reviews and online articles from different perspectives and picked out lots of quotes that could be useful for my final essay. I think I have formulated a good question as it allows me to discuss the representation of women in the past and now in many different ways.I haven’t really considered the issues and debates involved in my study. I’ve analysed my text soo much that I don’t even think its possible to analyse it more but I guess ill have to find a way.I have only really looked at my text from a feminist perspective so I think I should start looking at it through postmodern etc.I’ve viewed my text soo many times that ive lost count and yes I have viewed texts from a similar genre from both the past and newer texts and am comparing them to my own too.Yes I am keeping track of key quotes and where I am getting them etc.
WWW: I have viewed my texts many times and have also viewed similar texts and compared them.I am also keeping track of websites etc.
EBI: It would be even better if I could look at my texts from different perspectives and not just a feminist view.
How to achieve this…I will research what postmodernism is and I will look at my text with a post modernistic approach.
Synoptic Ability- Together understanding of Key Concepts, from different parts of the specification in order to make effective textual readings.
Draw upon knowledge and application of a wide range of possible relevant contexts, in order to account for the characteristics of media texts.
I haven’t really linked my independent study to other parts of the course but I have done a little bit, during the migrain analysis of my texts and similar texts a lot of my skills learnt in Med 1 last year were used and audience which was studied med 2 was also used.
Critical Autonomy – Apply critical ideas and principles to new situations – and demonstrate media literacy in responses to media texts.
My critical autonomy is ok, I have been coming up with loads of ideas and have been very self motivated.
Quality of written communication
My presentation is quite poor and so is the way I’ve organised it. I have been using key media terminology and I don’t really spell check my work.
