MIGRAIN intro to Media: end of unit index

We have now completed our MIGRAIN introduction to Media unit and need to create an index to organise revision for the upcoming assessment. 


January assessment

You will have a MEST1 Section A assessment in your first double lesson after Christmas. This will be an excellent opportunity to show the progress we are making towards our Media target grades and also develop the skills needed for the exam in May.

You need to revise everything you have covered in the Autumn term - both for the Introduction to Media unit AND Film Language.

Due: first Monday back


MIGRAIN index
You already have a MIGRAIN index from early November but now need to update it to include the work from this half-term. You also need to re-publish the index so it appears as the latest post in your blog. 

This process is an excellent start to your revision for the assessment and will also highlight if you've missed anything through absence or trips. Your index should include the following:

1) Media consumption audit
2) Language and Genre: Reading an image - advert analyses
3) Institution: major media institution research and presentation
4) Institution: brand values
5) Institution: CoolBrands research
6) Narrative: narrative theory YouTube clip analysis
7) Audience: psychographics
8) Audience: audience theory blog tasks/questions
9) Audience: audience theory - dependency theory
10) Representation: clip analysis - dominant and alternative representations
11) Representation theory: 500 word analysis on blog
12) Representation: Media Magazine articles and questions
13) Ideology: BBQ QT analysis and binary opposition
14) Ideology: Media Magazine reading 

For your index, the text should link to YOUR corresponding blogpost so you can access your work on each key concept quickly and easily. This also means you if you have missed anything you can catch up with the work and notes and won't underperform in the assessment due to gaps in your knowledge.

Important: your index needs to be completed during the lesson.
