The Specials - Ghost Town: Blog tasks

1)  Why does the writer link the song to cinematic soundtracks and music hall tradition? The music creates a "lyrical landscape". 2) What subcultures did 2 Tone emerge from in the late 1970s?  Sub cultures of two tone/punk emerged at the time. 3) What social contexts are discussed regarding the UK in 1981?  There were a lot of riots due to the unemployment rates at the time. Deprived areas were taken over by young black and white people. 4) Cultural critic Mark Fisher describes the video as ‘eerie’. What do you think is 'eerie' about the Ghost Town video? He might be talking about the subtle tone of how empty the place is in the video. 5) Look at the final section (‘Not a dance track’). What does the writer suggest might be the meanings created in the video? Do you agree? The video is dedicated towards those who feel like they are unable to voice their opinions about their unemployment and their lack of money.

Prelim feedback

1) Type up your teacher's feedback   in full  plus a summary of the comments you received from other students in the class. Good sound considering it was outside, good prop use however the lighting needs to be better, Confusion between American and British terminology such as use of "Chief" rather than "Captain", Cast of the main character appears too young to be a young adult working as an investigator, Investigators are not normally alone. 2) Using a combination of your own reflection on the preliminary exercise and the feedback you were given, write  three  WWW bullet points and  three  EBI bullet points for your work.

Coursework: Ignite presentation learner response

  1) Type up your feedback   in full   including the ratings out of five for each of the categories. Research 5 TV drama concept 5 Language  Terminology and theory 4 Representations 2 Audience and industry 2 Delivery 4 Total 22/30  Strong opening, excellent use of images. Already feels like a wire or top boy style idea, point on montage, POV shots show excellent thoughts behind opening. Some great iconography- pin board is a classic crime drama convention.  Really well developed narrative already great detail. Is there too much for 3 minutes though? I also think that if you need all of this perhaps some of this needs to be trailed rather than shown? This feels like a full episode. Superb delivery and use of images in presentation. Whole presentation is narrative but lacks media elements of language representations audience ect. Excellent for crime genre conventions but would like to see some media theorists. Similar to Chicago PD, multi strand...
