Grade 8/9 extension tasks

Read this Guardian review of Black Widow to prepare for studying our first CSP. What did the Guardian think of the film?

Easily one of the best 'stand-alone' Marvel films. Very nice to have seen it in the cinema.

Read this BBC feature on Marvel at 80 years old. How has it survived so long and why is the Marvel Cinematic Universe so important to the recent success of the brand?

For an 80-year-old, this one's still going strong: shooting lasers out of its eyes, adventuring through space, saving the world in a metal suit.

But this pensioner is Marvel Comics, which is celebrating its anniversary this week, and much like Captain America - who fought in World War Two - it doesn't age like the rest of us.

Media blog feedback and learner response

  TOUMA, Georgio   Full Name Blog set up and URL provided Introductory 10 Qs Denotation & Connotation x2 Fruit bowl Mise-en-scene: Stranger Things Blog marking LR TOUMA, Georgio   WWW: You have made a very positive start in GCSE Media – well done! Your fruit bowl is superb – I really like the image you’ve used as the base to your colour palette and it’s given you a very interesting take on the ‘urban’ palette. Keep up the good work!     EBI:  One thing to address – you have missed the second half of the denotation and connotation work. You’ve analysed the Water Aid advert but then needed to choose an advert of your own to analyse. Go back and finish this when you get a moment and we can update your tracker to green.   The key aspect to work on if we want to aim for the higher grades is depth and detail in our written work – for example, the ‘connotation’ and ‘analysis’ paragraphs for denotation and connotation. Aim for an extended paragraph an...

Audience effects theory: blog tasks

QUESTIONS   1) Write a definition of a   passive  audience:  This is the view that audiences passively   take in information from the media and that these messages have the same effect on everyone. 2)  Write a definition of an  active  audience:  This is the more modern and generally accepted view that audiences interact   with and make conscious choices regarding the media they consume. 3) Write a definition of the  hypodermic needle  theory:  This is the suggestion that audiences are always passive  and therefore take the intended message from the producer as if it was injected into their minds. This assumes no individual difference in audience members.  4) Write down a  media product  (e.g. TV show, newspaper or videogame)   for each category of Blumler and Katz's Uses and Gratifications theory and  WHY  it fits that particular audience use/gratification.
