Homework - Curtisland

This article is suggesting that the release of the film Four Weddings and a Funeral, (the day after Labour leader, John Smiths death) was a turning point in English media as our ideologies changed. The film couldn't be called kitchen-sink nor carry-on and this lead to the perception of Britain to change. We became a broken home yet produced feel-good films it happy endings.

Teaser Trailiers

We were set a task to find out what makes a tease trailer. I discovered they are normally shown more than a year in advance to the films actually showing. They are also normally used to inform the audience that the film is coming soon rather than to advertise. Conventionally they use short and snappy editing, mixing impactful images with simpler, almost blank shots. They're intentionally ambiguous leaving the audience eager to watch the film and solve the enigma. Horrors, and thrillers are most commonly use teaser trailers.

First Lesson of Y13

It's nice to be back and put my media head on. Today we were briefed on the upcoming year, and were told alterations being made to the way we'll be working and the reasons for this. One of the issues the moderator brought up was that our blogs were lacking in regular entries and therefore It's my new goal to write up any media related issues that seem relevant, on a routinely basis.

Beginning of A2

We had our first lesson of media on collective identity today. We looked into what is British as we are studying British films. Mrs Baird talked us through the process of the year and introduced our first topic. Collective identity is the theory of individuals feeling a sense of belonging to a group, and in turn, the collective identity forms a part of his or her personal identity.
Overall, very successful first lesson back.
