This is my evaluation for Q1A+B

In this vodcast I explore and discuss how my products both challenged and embraced conventions as well as how my products successfully represented social groups and issues. I also failed to mention the essential role reversal of my two main characters and how their gender binaries are an inherent opposition to one another. An example of this would be Orla, who would in this video, be a counter-type due to her passive and emotionless behaviour towards Trent. This is counter-hegemonic and typical as women are stereo-typically overly emotional and weak. This however also applies to Trent who is seen as weak, groveling, emotionally, exposed and vulnerable to his ex romantic interest. This would be a counter-type as his masculinity and built up walls often associated with macho-ism is exposed and even undermined in this video, when he is seen looking up to Orla.
In addition to this, further acknowledgement to the French New Wave of cinema would be due to my frequent use of jump cuts and breaks in continuity. Having risen from the ashes of World War Two and the plight of Nazi occupation, French film makers had witnessed the destructive and captivating power of the Nazi propaganda films, but aimed to break down the conventional boundaries of cinema and jump cuts were a frequent element to this. Much of my jump cuts and break in continuity were products of this.

ReplyDeleteB+W - did you also experiment with sepia/other tones?
ReplyDeleteGood on video, though its worth considering if you can add further points, including some more basic elements. Exam Q1b MLang is really about how you used media language choices that made your work instantly recognisable as this format; you could cover the basics too - Goodwin and Vernallis are useful for this.
WEBSITE: could do with more examples from your research. Slow down the quickfire list at the start of this to a clearer I saw...I did... format. You're skipping over many small details too. Ditto with digipak. try to more comprehensively breakdown all the choices you made/what you included, down to barcode, spine (you're lacking this + other details on current digipak) etc etc
Screenshot prezi elements, add below video (+link).
You can't answer '1B' in 60 seconds!!! This is where you should really engage with sub-culture; Bourdieu; U+G. Look at the Ppt I provide in the guide post on this. Age, gender, depression, drug abuse, sexuality + relationships, perhaps national identity (American cultural imperialism?), simulacra...
