Really useful info for you as Mr Marchant starts looking at the online papers and social media with you. I've added a PDF of an article in W:\Media Studies\2017 new spec\Newspaper and representation and it is called Tabloid Expose. Make sure you read it!

I'm sure you all know that your website first draft is due on Friday 7th December by 9am. Remember that all images need to be original and there needs to be a piece of high-level, ambitious original AV content. Please make sure there is a link on your blog labelled Website First Draft or similar so I can easily find it. As always, the better shape the draft is in when you submit it, the more comprehensive my feedback can be...

Hi everyone, It occurred to me as I have started teaching the year 12s the music video unit that they are a brilliant untapped feedback resource for you. If you're willing, I will show each video to a handful of them, and they can provide constructive feedback as fresh eyes and thinking of it in terms of music video analysis that we've been doing in class. The questions I would propose would be: What representations can you see? What intertextual reference examples did you notice? Are there any construction elements you think were done especially well and any you feel could improve? Does the video fit the music? If you'd rather not have this feedback, do let me know, but it can often be a really great way to get another perspective, and after all, I've seen the videos so much that there may be something I'm now simply blind to... Let me know by Friday period 1 if you don't want to participate. Best wishes Ms Cope

By 9am, so I can check them during the day, please. Please put them on your blog title 'Website First Draft'.

Just a small point on Barthes, though:   Barthes is about  denotation/connotation and myths rather than the different codes as in BF's video so don't get confused!

I can't take credit for this, but someone has made a Kahoot game for Media theorists. Might make your revision mildly more enjoyable... https://play.kahoot.it/?fbclid=IwAR0pGU6_clOyAVQ3d7vuAFBs_GqOw1ddcJfy0jkYOtgDIYPQucdYFgrV2wc#/intro?quizId=39c9dd86-a397-4439-8b0e-f8ad5d7dbe46
