The sermon began with an analysis of the first five minutes of Steven Spielberg's JAWS. The class were asked to consider how media forms are used to represent the sea. Particular attention was placed upon Spielberg's use of Diegetic and Non-Diegetic sound, frame composition, and connotation.
The lesson then moved into a consideration of the Barnardo's advert. Click on link below to access this resource:

HOMEWORK: The aim of the first series of lessons has been to introduce the language of media analysis and provide students with an idea of the standard of critical analysis that is appropriate for AS study. This is the first written homework. The questions that form the focus of the written homework are:
1. HOW ARE MEDIA FORMS USED TO SHAPE MEANING IN THE 2009 BARNARDO'S ADVERT 'BREAK THE CYCLE'?
2. HOW IS THE GIRL'S CHILDHOOD REPRESENTED IN THIS TEXT?
3. HOW IS THE INSTITUTION LINKED TO CONTENT?
4. HOW ARE MEDIA FORMS USED TO SHAPE MEANING IN THE BJ6TH FILM FROM 2010?
Students should support their view with specific textual reference.
Good Luck Media Freaks.
