MIGRAIN Introduction to Media: end of unit index

We have now completed our MIGRAIN Introduction to Media unit and need to update our 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 lesson back

MIGRAIN index
Keeping an up-to-date index of all your work is extremely good practice from a revision perspective. Not only does this keep the concepts and media terminology fresh in your mind but it will also highlight if you've missed anything through absence or trips. Your index should now include the following:

1) Media consumption audit
2) Language and Genre: Reading an image - advert analyses
3) Institution: major media institution research, presentation and feedback/LR
4) Institution: brand values
5) Narrative: narrative theory YouTube clip analysis
6) Genre: Factsheet questions and Chandler genre analysis task
7) Audience: psychographics
8) Audience: audience theory blog tasks/questions
9) Audience: Effects theory - factsheet and questions
10) Audience Pleasures: The battle of the Christmas adverts
11) Representation: clip analysis - dominant and alternative representations
12) Representation theory: 500 word analysis on blog
13) Representation: Photoshop collages - dominant and alternative representations
14) Ideology: BBC QT analysis and binary opposition
15) Ideology: Media Magazine reading and notes

Remember: 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 now catch up with the work/notes and won't underperform in the assessment due to gaps in your knowledge.

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