YEAR 12 LESSON TEN [19th Nov 12]: Homework.

Students continued to edit their Sixth Form Survival Guide. Some of the work is superb.
HOMEWORK: As I stated in today's lesson, the Dexter homework lacked precise critical detail and next week we will be addressing this feature of the course. The key text that we shall examine will be last year's JOHN LEWIS XMAS ADVERT. Click on link below:
John Lewis Xmas Advert 2011: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSLOnR1s74o
The questions that we shall attempt to answer next week will include:

1. How are media forms used to suggest the passing of time?
2. How does the advertisement communicate brand values for John Lewis?
3. How does this text represent the family?

Today's creative work was very accomplished. Well done.

Before the Xmas break we will begin our Cross-Media Study, which is an essential feature of the second section of the examination paper, and one text that you will need to be familiar with before we wrestle with this section of the course is the documentary EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP which explores the work and influence of the great British graffiti artist BANKSY. Below is a link to a YOU TUBE version of this film that can be watched in YOU TUBE size chunks! Below is the link to the first section and students can navigate through the film from this point:
