Lesson 10.12.08 and HL tasks

Absent: PF, SK

Today we:

• Reviewed what representations are and their siginificance in TVDs
• Focused on how representations of gender and lifestyle were presented in the previously posted 'Hollyoaks' clip

An extension for last week's HL task was given: by tomorrow (Thursday 11th Dec) morning on the blog please.

HL for Wed 17th December 2008:

1. Watch a Hospital TVD the WHOLE way through eg, Holby City, ER, etc

2. Answer, in detail, the questions provided on the handout ("The conventions of realism") - PF and SK need to collect these from me before Friday, or photocopy from another student.

Please note: no lesson on Monday 15th Dec as I am out. Use this time to update ALL of your Media blogs and sort out your notes. Also start researching the next topic: The Music Industry - find out about how a record label promotes an artist. Pick a band or artist of your choice.

HL tasks to be completed for 10.12.08

Dear lovely 12 Media Studies student,

You missed last Wednesday’s lesson due to elf action, and I will be out on Monday 8th December. Therefore, you need to complete the following work for Wednesday 10th December:

1. Log on to my blog: www.stcmastvd.blogspot.com

2. Watch the Teen Drama / Hollyoaks clip that I have posted from 1.37- 4.06:



3. Take notes on the 4 areas (Camerawork, Editing, Sound and Mise en Scene) whilst watching the clip 4 or 5 times through

4. Using your textual analysis notes, write a critical deconstruction of the clip to address the following question:

“Discuss the ways in which the extract creates representations of gender and lifestyle.”


You are going for a quality, critical response – like the one on Jal (Skins) in the OCR book.

Either post your response on your blog, or submit a paper copy to me by Wednesday 10th Dec 2008.

This deadline is crucial. Do not fail me. Or else…

With happy smiles and best wishes,

Mr Shaikh
