Reminder
Just to remind you all this is the pre-summer work;
This all needs to be done before the summer - DEADLINE 19th July.
- Research different blog sites and styles of blogs.
- This will not take long – you used blogs last year and know what you need - blogger/blogspot is very reliable, wix is a bit flash but temperamental, Wordpress doesn’t work on the Macs but is fine on other PCs. You can use the same platform or even the same blog as last year.
- If using the same blog address, archive your year 12 work Set up your blog and get the address to me – you have until the end of term to do this.
- First entry: statement of intent; who you are, what you are doing, what you did for last year’s coursework, what you hope to achieve through the project?
- Invite classmates to follow you – this will help you gather evidence of audience feedback
- What do existing texts in your chosen area look like?
- What elements make up a typical example?
- Do some research and add it to your blog as a short post
- Come up with an idea: NOT just for a your main task, but for the whole package
- Post your initial thoughts on your blog – you can always change them later.
This all needs to be done before the summer - DEADLINE 19th July.

Thursday 6th July
I am not in today to teach you period 5. You do not have a cover teacher because I do not want you in a classroom. I would like you to go out and do some filming. Play around with techniques and shot types, think of a director/auteur and try to emulate their style. Most importantly, have fun with it.
I will look at what you have got next lesson.
Apologies for missing another lesson guys.

Gender Theory
The PowerPoint for today's lesson;
The Representation of Gender from Zoe Lorenz
Remember - Laura Mulvey is your key theorist for this. Other theorists to look at as part of your revision would be Liesbet van Zoonan and bell hooks for Feminist theory and Judith Butler for theories of gender performativity.
In general Stuart Hall and David Gauntlett - they will keep popping up.

Independent Tasks for DLD 12th January
Year 12.
Continue working on research and planning tasks. All of you have work you can be doing!
Remember, I am expecting to see analysis of three existing magazine covers this Friday so, if that is something you are missing, these should be a priority. After that, look back at the deadlines for this half term - what can you get ahead on? Look at the suggested task list below - is there anything on there you haven't done? If you have done everything on the list look for other blogs - here, here or here, for example - and see what other tasks they have. Note - THIS and THIS blog have some excellent research examples.
Task list;
Research into institution - who would produce your magazine and why?
Image manipulation of test shots with an explanation of what you were aiming for.
Draft layouts - either hand drawn or on computer.
Audience profiling - who is your magazine for? How will you engage their interest?
Genre research - what genre of music is your magazine? How will images and fonts used reflect this?
Character creation - who is your cover star? Create a back story which will help justify photo choices and generate article copy.
EVALUATIONS!!!
The only task you won't be able to do is your cover, contents and double page spread. Nothing else requires special access to the Macs or for me to be in the building. Despite what some of you have told your form tutors!!!
Year 13
You should each have something to be getting on with - either finishing research and planning for your music video/digipak/poster or working on evaluations. I suspect none of you have completed a fully storyboard for your video. This should therefore be a priority! Again, if you have done all the suggested tasks look for example blogs to inspire you. Blogs such as Caitlin's, this one, this one or this one are all worth a look.
