AYAZ, Abeha





Post this in a new blogpost on your Media blog called ‘Blog feedback and Learner Response’ then complete the LR tasks/questions below.

WWW: Your Photoshop fruit bowl is outstanding – real creative skills and a clear understanding of colour palettes! 

EBI: One piece of unfinished work – you haven’t completed the final two questions on the initial 10 question blog task (on the female Doctor). In general, you need to work on the depth of your analysis – most of your work so far is simply one sentence for each aspect.  For example, on the denotation and connotation task (Pringles advert) you are missing the crucial aspect of the design – the fire to connote the hot and spicy flavour. You need to be picking up on these aspects and writing about them in more detail to reach the higher grades.

LR: Complete the final two questions you are missing on the first blog task. Then, reflect on your first month of Media. What do you feel is your strongest piece of work so far? What is your weakest? What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop over the rest of the course? How can you improve the depth and detail of your media analysis.


My strongest piece of work would be my connotation and denotation on the advert.

My weakest piece of work is my Katniss film poster
