Introduction to Media: Blog index

We have almost completed our first half-term of GCSE Media Studies and have our first assessment approaching.  

You've already covered lots of excellent content and have started developing the analytical writing skills you will need in the exams next year.

Introduction to Media - index so far

We now need to create an index of all our blogposts so far. This process is an excellent start to our ongoing revision and will also highlight if you've missed anything through absence. Your index should include the following:

1) First blog task - 10 questions
2) Denotation and Connotation

3) Introduction to Photoshop: fruit bowls
4) Mise-en-scene: Stranger Things
5) Camerawork: shots and angles

6) Camera movement and editing

7) Blog 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 and exams due to gaps in your knowledge.

Creating your index

To create your index, first copy the list of work above and paste it as plain text into a new blogpost called 'GCSE Media Autumn term index'. Then, open your Media blog in another tab and use your blog archive to open up all your work from last term. For each post, copy the URL - this is the web address that will end .blogspot.com/name of the post. For example: 

https://mediamacguffingcseyear1.blogspot.com/2020/01/representation-introduction.html

Once you've got the hang of it, you should find the index only takes 10 minutes to produce. 

First Media assessment

Your first Media assessment is coming up shortly - exact date specified by your teacher. You will need to revise everything in this index for the assessment.

Good luck!
