This was you before you started Media Studies….
This is you now…
How did you achieve such skills?
OK SO RECAP…FLASHBACK to S1E1…
A long time ago Mrs Cobb and Mr Gregson asked some students to keep a diary of reflections…
You know, those random reflection posts that your past selves wrote as you made your preliminary tasks, your music magazines, your music videos, your digipacks and your websites…
- Also, just as important are your Creative Critical Reflection questions.
You have been reflecting, logging and recording your skills development from the beginning of the course and ALL THE ANSWERS TO THIS ARE IN YOUR BLOG!
So…you need to go back through time, back through your blog & maybe ours, to find the answers to these questions:
- How did you get so creative?
- To what extent did the development of your research and planning lead to more creative
media products? - In what ways did you engage with the conventions of real media texts in your own productions?
- Assess the importance of digital technology skills in your production work.
Spot the fake previous exam question above…however,
CREATIVITY really is at the heart of it all!
Media Studies is, after all, a creative art.
It fact, I would argue that Media is The Creative Art that is shaping the images, the sounds, the links, the narratives, the genres, the representations and ultimately the ideas that shape society’s values, attitudes and beliefs…
YEAH BABY! IDEOLOGY!
That word, ‘Ideology’ is key to understanding Media Studies as a subject!
So go on…explain…what I mean…if you can…
