 Blog feedback LR  WWW: I like your answers to the first 10 questions –particularly you are having a positive experience with the subject when studying it at your previous school. It’s lovely to have students return to the subject and wish to study it further.    EBI: Two key areas to improve here: firstly, some of your work is missing or unfinished and it’s important to make sure you are organised and fully completing work. Make sure you post the Genre and Narrative blogs as soon as you can. On a side note, try and develop your exposure to reading newspapers to ensure you are receiving a variety of newsworthy content.   LR: Complete any missing or unfinished work.   Reflect on your work in A Level Media so far:  What is your strongest piece of work?  What is your weakest?  What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop over the rest of the course?

  Genre blog tasks Task 1: Genre factsheets Read  Media Factsheet 03 - Genre: Categorising texts  and answer the following questions: 1) What example is provided of why visual iconographies are so important? Iconographies are enough to act alone, e.g. the mise en scene of deep space, usually indicates the genre of sci-fi. Sometimes, however, the iconographies work together to indicate the genre. Someone sitting behind a desk is not genre specific.
