Year 1 reflection - blog tasks

 Work through the following tasks to reflect on Year 1 and make sure you are ready for Year 2:

1) Look at your tracker for Year 1 blogposts (this will have been emailed to you by your teacher either before the summer or this week). Make a list of any CSPs you haven't completed. We will cover these in lessons later in the year but you WILL need to complete the blog tasks before you take any exams.

2) Which CSPs from Year 1 are you most confident on? I think it was the Photoshop cropping task as it was quite an easy task

3) Which CSPs from Year 1 are you least confident on? i think the magazines were a bit confusing at first

4) Your upcoming assessment will only be on CSPs from the first half of the year leading up to lockdown. Write a brief summary of the following CSPs to start your revision (Reveal magazine is done for you as ):

Doctor Strange:Doctor strange was a movie that was made by marvel, they had a budget  of $165 million which made is very successful so many people would have watched it and there were many good reviews of the movie.

I, Daniel Blake: I Daniel Blake was an independent movie, this movie was known as the movie being displayed at the house of parliament, this is known as guerrilla advertising

Magazines - Reveal: a celebrity magazine aimed mainly at working-class women focusing on gossip, celebrity and motherhood for just 99p. Offers quite a traditional, stereotypical representation of women.

Magazines - Tatler: This was a magazine which was based on beauty products and models, it also included gossip stories and many other things about how people lived their lives and what happens and how you can also live a similar life. 

Advertising: OMO: OMO was a cleaning product  which had many different advertisements, some had some sexist or stereotypical opinions about women about how they should get OMO for women as they have to clean but this was in a older time.

Advertising: NHS Represent: This was an advertisement that would encourage black and Asian ethnicity to  donate blood as they had more rarer and more variety of blood types, they made this into a rap so that it would fit in a more modern genere

Advertising: Galaxy chocolate: This was an advertisement for the chocolate galaxy, this was an advertisement showing a woman enjoying her chocolate bar in a man car, their slogan was why have cotton when you have silk, this shows that they are producing somewhat high quality chocolate.

5) List five things (e.g. CSPs/topics/terminology) that you will revise before your upcoming assessment.

magazine CSP,  CLAMPS, Mise en scene, doctor who, doctor strange

Grade 8/9 extension tasks:

Our next topic is TV where we'll be studying the first episode of Doctor Who from 1963 and recent Doctor Who spin-off Class. Read this history of Doctor Who from the Guardian - published just before Jodie Whittaker made her debut as the first female doctor. What does the article suggest about representations and audience for Doctor Who?


It shows that they are being more diverse with their audience and members, this shows that women are becoming more prioritised in everything ranging from movies, games, shows, etc. this shows that they are doing more script writing to show a more fair side and diverse, they also gain more money and views from the audience as they may use more recognisable actors as they might have a big fan base and audience loyalty so when they find out that they are participating in the show or movie they are then praised for being in the production.
