Blog feedback and learner response

  Reflect on your work in A Level Media so far WWW: Your blog is very nearly 100% up-to-date – the two unfinished pieces (coloured amber on the tracker) should be pretty easy to put right. I really like a lot of your answers on the blog so far – I think you’ve made a good start in Media and show an understanding of the concepts so far. I agree that Media fits well alongside Business and if Breaking Bad is your favourite show then hopefully this is a subject that will treat you well. I also like the fact you’re aiming for an apprenticeship – this is a massive growth area and there will hopefully be some good options when you start applying in Year 13.   EBI: Two areas to improve: firstly, complete the two unfinished pieces of work. That’s just a missing question in the first 10 (the biggest media story of 2024 – I’d be interested in hearing what you think) and then for Reading an image you haven’t posted the analysis to the advert of your choice. You’ve posted a Nike advert but...

Reception theory

  1) What are the preferred, negotiated and oppositional readings for the RBK 50 Cent advert?   Preferred is that people that wear reebok are hardworking and can get through anything, negotiated reading is that it represents people that came through poor areas and hard upbringings, oppositional is it represents crime. 2)  What are the preferred, negotiated and oppositional readings for the advert of your own choice that you analysed for last week's work?  Preferred Reading: The preferred reading of Nike might highlight the brand's association with athletic excellence, innovation, and empowerment.

Negotiated Reading: A negotiated reading could recognize the positive aspects of Nike while also acknowledging criticisms, such as labor practices and environmental concerns. Viewers might appreciate the brand's contributions to sports cultur...

Reading an image - media codes blog tasks

Image
  1) Analyse this RBK 50 Cent advert using the media codes you learned in the lesson:  Technical, Written or verbal, Symbolic or non-verbal, Narrative. Write a paragraph for each one exploring the way meanings are created using those media codes . -finger print image shows connotations of arrest and crime and 50 cents criminal background, this is very unusual for a brand to highlight this but they maybe want to attract a younger audience that feel like wearing reebok makes them powerful and hard-working. -the verbal code : I am what I am suggests that 50 cent doesn't hide his criminal background and that he grew up in gangs and violence which can imply to the audience that no matter what you have been through u can still become powerful and rich like 50 cent. -the font/typographic font suggests medieval and powerful as if u wear reebok it shows a sense of power and hard-working which makes audiences want to wear it. -the military hat suggests battle, warzone and upbringin...
