Blog Feedback and Learner Response

You will be receiving blog feedback from your teacher via email or on Google Classroom.

This is a very important opportunity to reflect on the work you've done so far in GCSE Media Studies and identify the areas you need to improve over the next few weeks.

Whenever you receive blog feedback over email you must do the following:

Open up your email in Outlook and read your feedback carefully

1) Copy and paste your feedback and Next Steps into a NEW blogpost in your blog called 'Blog feedback and Learner Response'.

2) Respond to any feedback your teacher has given you

3) Watch the scene from The Empire Strikes Back (1980) at the link below or attached on Google Classroom just to understand what is happening:

Mise-en-scene

1. How has lighting been used in this scene? Take a screenshot of a specific example of lighting and explain the effect that is has on you as the audience.
2. Look at the costumes of the two lead actors in this scene. How have their costumes been designed to present one as the hero and one as the villain? Consider use of colour, masks.

Camera Shots & Angles

1. Find two examples of different camera shots from the scene. Take a screenshot of your specific example and explain who/what the shot focuses on and what effect this has on the readers perspective.
2. Find an example of either a high or low angle shot. Take a screenshot of your specific example and explain who/what the shot focuses on and how it presents the power dynamic within the scene.

Audio

1. How have sound effects been used in this scene? What are they added to? What effect does this add to the moments that they have been added to?
2. How has silence been used in the first half of the scene? How does it effect the tone and atmosphere of the scene?
