Goodbye and good luck

Hi all,

I'm really sorry that I won't be able to take you through to the end of the course. I have really enjoyed teaching you and I'm sure you will all do very well...so long as you put in the work that is required!

Make sure you get your filming complete as soon as possible so that you leave yourself time to work on the editing process: this is the most time-consuming part of the coursework.

I wish you all the very best of luck and I look forward to hearing about how you all get on.

Mr Kirkaldy

Expectations for Gender Representation Essay due on Tuesday:

·         The essay must be 2 pages, typed. Size 12 font, 1.5 line spacing.

·         Look through your essay-structure notes to make sure that you are covering all the areas.

·         This is an analytical essay- not descriptive! You must analyse the technical production of the clip and discuss how this has shaped specific representations. You need to discuss whether or not this adheres to positive or negative stereotypes, or challenges them.

·         Use relevant media terminology. I have uploaded a glossary onto the shared area under ‘Media Studies’, along with a powerpoint summarising theorists we have covered.

·         Remember that this is an exemplar essay that will be graded and that you can use as a revision resource, so I want to see maximum effort.

·         THE DEADLINE IS TUESDAY!!!!! Have it printed and in on time as I want to mark it and return it to you before we break for Christmas. NO EXCUSES!!!!!!
