MONDAY MAY 11 – 7PM ON THE BLOG
Well done for your amazing efforts over the last few weeks. You have done it. Nothing more you can do. So relax.
We are seriously hoping to stage The Gregsons at some point at the end of the Summer/early Autumn before you all disappear, but in the meantime we would like you join the blog at 7pm on Monday 11 May for a few final words and reflections on the last 2 years with Miss Hales and Mrs Cobb.
We promise it won’t be too tearful but we miss you and we do genuinely wish you all, lots of luck for your futures.
There should be some fun reminisces, and some video memories of your music video mash ups.
We might even crack open the champagne and of course, if you are not over 18, we will raise a virtual glass to your good health and happiness.
Remember:
All final submissions due by then. Absolute deadline – not just a Media, movable deadline. If nothing has been submitted then we will have to take the previous mark from your first draft (or worst case scenario, 0 for that essay if nothing has ever been submitted).
Suffer the pain of discipline now or the pain of regret later?
One week away – Good Luck and then you can kiss it all goodbye.
We combined these two sections as they are shorter essays, particularly for those of you who just want to get on with them and get them done and dusted and released them a day early, as we know some of you just want this all to be over and done and dusted!
As usual all the resources and reminders about structure, terms, examples, analysis and significance are on the classroom posts and you should take the time to revisit before you redraft.
Take advantage of the feedback from previous drafts – it is a little concerning that some of you have ignored it on occasions.
Anyway, so nearly there. Listen to the screen castifies and then you can get on and complete all the resubmission.
IMPORTANT – the deadline for all the essay submissions so that we can have the best evidence from you to recommend grades is;
We have had to bring it forward as we have a submission deadline for the marks and rankings on the Monday 11 May.
Well done….on the homeward straight after this resubmission.
Thanks for the POMO and the TV drama. We are very proud of your efforts.
And we miss you.
Anyway, here is some advice and some refresher guidance about the Music Industry question. You have the drafts, now just improve it and resubmit.
This is the new plan for this week in order for you to be ready to write the essay plans, please do the following:
Clearly in amongst this you should be continuing to submit any outstanding essays and also redraft and resubmit any essays not achieving a D/C or above. Email your teachers if you want them marking and submit to classroom too.
Good luck. Virtual love.
Miss H and Mrs C
As a media art form, music videos are often conduits for various elements of postmodern culture. Sometimes they also, point a self-accusing finger at themselves for doing so and sometimes the videos and lyrics are about postmodern society too.
Andrew Goodwin, a renowned media theorist sums up the postmodernism of music videos:
The Rizzle Kicks – is made in a postmodern fashion but also points the finger at postmodern society.
We will be studying in depth some current music videos, one of which you should choose to focus on as your 2nd media text in your essay (the other one will be Nosedive, Black Mirror by Charlie Brooker).
Music Videos are often examples of postmodern media, not only because their place as a recognised art form has come about in the postmodern era but mainly because they evidence a range of ideas about what makes a text postmodern.
