Work due in

You should have completed your edit of the Ashes to Ashes extract - the re-creation. You should also have responded to the question set with screengrabs from the original extract/your own.

IN FUTURE, DO MAKE SURE ALL HOME-LEARNING/INDEPENDENT STUDY IS RECORDED ACCURATELY IN YOUR PLANNERS PLEASE.

The question set was to analyse the ways in which representations of gender are constructed in the extract through the usual 4 micro-elements.

You also need to start recording your wider reading (including wider 'watching' = relevant videos and tutorials, some of which on the blog, some of which you should find yourself) and keep notes on your blog. So far, you have read an article on feminism/post-feminism. This should be evidenced on your blog. If you have hand-written notes, take a picture and upload it but make sure you show me your work. 

At A Level, independent study is key and you will be getting further reading regularly from now on. FInally, since some of the tasks set require you to use the equipment / the macs, make sure you plan for that time in school during the week. You are welcome to use the pod whilst other classes use it if there is a computer available.


YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A GAP OF A WEEK OR MORE ON YOUR BLOG!

 On Wednesday, we will start looking at representation of social class.

Include screenshots as evidence (very much like quotations) if you haven't already.

2. Read and make notes on the Post-Feminism article that was handed out.

3. Make sure you start familiarising yourself with the glossary of Sound and Editing terms.

4. Write up your response to the Cutting It extract - How does the extract construct representations of gender? (and relationships)

5. Continue reading up on the representation of women (and gender more generally) in the media in preparation for your documentary. Come to next lesson with some idea of the sources and points you'll be making.
