G325 1B Intro


Question 1(b) requires you to select one production and evaluate it in relation to a media concept.
The list of concepts to which questions will relate is as follows:-
Genre
Narrative
Representation
Audience
Media Language
In your exam, questions will be set using one of these concepts only!!
TASK:

Split page into two, bullet point how each of the above areas relate to your AS and A2 production. This will give
you an overview of how each area stands out for each production.

NOTE: when discussing media language remember this refers to the language used which is specific to the
medium (language of film) in question and the meaning which has been illustrated via the producer.

Digital Technology

“Digital technology turns media consumers into producers”. In your experience, how has your creativity developed through using digital technology to complete your coursework productions? [25]

Creativity!

TASK: Using print screens from your AS and A2 productions, produce a mood board of all the elements you think that would be classified as being creative.


Once completed, place it on the class blog and write a couple of paragraphs explaining how and why you think the elements are creative? was the idea creative or did it become creative once it was produced and/or implemented? Use media language and quotes when writing about your mood board! 


For example, the video below is taken from a task that media teachers had to complete with Pete Fraser based on creativity. You could argue the production has a creative aspect through coming up with an idea and implementing the idea through production.




Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. Innovation is the production or implementation of an idea. If you have ideas, but don't act on them, you are imaginative but not creative. 
                                                        Linda Naiman (creativityatwork.com)


Your mood boards will be presented at the end of the class.
