12E Cover Work, Tue 11/09/12

Please do this work on your MEST1 blogs (or post it up on them for homework if you can't get access in school).

Previous GCSE students will have no problems with this, but it may be a little challenging if you've never studied Media before...just do your best. 


Make sure you've set up your new "Media Studies MEST1" blog and posted your name and blog address url here.

Find an interesting film poster online and upload it onto your blog.

Carry out a textual analysis of the poster, using these key ideas: colour, composition, framing, size, type of shot, subject matter, setting, lighting, pose.

Write in full sentences, use paragraphs, proofread your work for spelling/punctuation, and try to include the phrase: "This connotes..." as often as possible.

Use this Key Concepts Glossary: try to include media terminology where possible (as much as you can) and highlight each keyword a different colour from the rest of the text.

Focus particularly on Media Language, Audience and Representation.
