The first session of the lesson was a consideration of the title:
'VIOLENT MEDIA CREATES VIOLENT PEOPLE.' To what extent do you agree with this statement?
This title challenges students to apply media theory in an appropriate manner, consider the extent to which a media text can be considered influential, and consider how a media text can be used to gratify the needs of the audience. Students are expected to provide evidence of independent study and critical autonomy.
The rest of the session involved students capturing footage to be used in the construction of creative media. This footage will be used to construct linked productions for a theoretical critical investigation. Students were encouraged to form a hypothesis and use the footage gathered to form some form of investigative media conclusion that could be used as part of a critical investigation. This task is really investigative journalism and replicates the requirements of the linked production coursework component at A2.
