Assignment 5

BLOG POST - This is your final blog post to your personal blog.   Your Creative Critical Reflection (CCR) should be at the top of your blog with the final cut of your movie opening just below it.  After this week we will work on test preparation exercises which will be submitted to Cambridge for scoring in lieu of the actual exam.

Here are the instructions for your CCR as they are written in the Cambridge AICE Media Studies Syllabus:

Creative critical reflection
This work can be presented in a number of formats such as: a director commentary, slideshows with voiceover, podcast, Prezi or screencast presentation and must answer the following questions:

1. How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
2. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
3. How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
4. How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?

Learners should be reassured that admissions of ineffective choices (as long as they have explained how these were rectified, or what was learned from them) made in the production process are seen as highly reflective qualities and would not, in its own right, impact on the marks awarded.

Here are the links to the blogs of the movie openings you viewed in Q3 Week 2.   You can view the CCR's of these students as examples.
