Introduction to Media: index so far

We are over halfway through our introduction to GCSE Media Studies - we've already learned a huge amount about media language, audience and industry. 

We now need to create an index of all our blogposts so far this term. This process is an excellent start to your revision for the January assessment in Media (not to mention the exams next year!) and will also highlight if you've missed anything through absence or trips. Your index should include the following:

1) Introduction to the subject and you
2) Key concepts (LIAR) and analysis of Film Poster
3) Introduction to Photoshop: Fruit bowl task
4) Denotation and Connotation
5) Mise-en-scene
6) Blog feedback and learner response
7) Camera shots photo storyboard (photos and captions)
8) Camerawork and editing blog tasks
9) October assessment – feedback and learner response
10) Demographics and Psychographics - Photoshop audience profile
11) Reception theory – Harry Brown trailer analysis
12) Audience effects theory - Blue Planet analysis
13) Industries - Ownership and control
12) Audience and Industry - impact of internet essay
13) Film Industry CSP introduction - film poster analysis
14) Audience essay - feedback and learner response

For your index, the text should link to YOUR corresponding blogpost so you can access your work quickly and easily for checking and revision. This also means if you have missed anything you can catch up with the work and notes and won't underperform in assessments add exams due to gaps in your knowledge.

Index due date: complete during the lesson. Anything missing needs to be caught up over Christmas.
