Aiming for an A? Have a look at these slides to further your knowledge.

FINALLY, WATCH THIS AND TAKE NOTES for your portfolio research (sum up what key messages you can learn from the video)

2. Starting research for your coursework portfolio.

WHAT ABOUT REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN IN MUSIC VIDEOS?

What stereotypes are reinforced here? What are the messages in the song? Do you think Pink is being fair and making a good point or just reinforcing stereotypes?



Write your responses on A4 for the research section of your portfolio (We will finish this next lesson)

3. HOME LEARNING:

1. Watch Jessie J's video "Like a dude" then answer the following questions:
- What is Jessie J's message in this video? Do you think it is effective? Why? Why not?

Aim for one side of A4 and add some screen grabs from the video to justify your points.

WARNING: SOME SWEARING IN THE LYRICS.



2. Respond to the feedback/ questions I wrote as I marked your work. You may need to redraft one question.

3. Put some order in your folder. I WILL CHECK THEM AND EXPECT THEM TO BE CLEARLY ORGANISED.
Phone calls home if that's not the case.

B322 - Exam Practice (home-learning) - Enemy of the State extract

Use the clip below to answer the question I set for home learning (the extract is shorter to allow you to focus on the quality of your examples)

Start from 1: 03 till the end.

Before you start the exam question, you might want to think about the questions below first.

Enemy of the State, Tony Scott, 1998


Some questions to make you think first:
1. What is the point of this sequence? Describe briefly how tension is created through the editing.
2. Look at the use of CU or Medium CU. Why are they primarily used here? Refer to specific shots (screengrab them) and embed them within your post.
3. Choose 15-20 seconds from anywhere in the sequence and describe each shot in detail, explaining its effect / function for the audience, as well as commenting on how the cuts (the editing) add to the meaning.
4. How far does the editing of this sequence fit in with the action adventure genre? Justify your opinion.

Above all, do your best to engage with the sequence and the task.
