Reflection- Media Theory

At the start of this course I did have an understanding of media knowledge, as I did take media studies at GCSE level. However I have gone into much more detail as the work is more advanced, for example in the textual analysis' for film trailers, I added descriptions, explained why and described the effect on the audience.

I have also learnt more sophisticated vocabulary and really useful terminology. These included words such as; connotation, representation, codes and conventions, visual codes, linguistic codes and more. With these words, I put together a glossary on Google Docs, giving a simple explanation of each word.

I have also completed a sound and lighting analysis on the Captain America film trailer, as well as a more detailed textual analysis on the Monsters University trailer.

Here is a screen shot of my week schedule that I created on Google Docs, to help me stay organised and up up date with my work. I added homework and other blog posts that needed to be published, so I did not forget and so that all the work that still needed to be done, was completed.

Here is another screenshot of the updated schedule that I have filled in with up to date tasks and activities on what is still needed to be done.
