Week Twenty One -14/02/11

This lesson I began to work on writing my evaluation. The questions given are challenging yet interesting as they will challenge me to think critically about the industry. The first question that I have begun to work on is "How did you address/attract your target audience?". I like this question as it is one which allows us to evaluate the way in which we have targetted certain stereotypes of people and whether or not it has been effective.

Week Twenty

This week we had to begin on the exam topic as there was a system failure with the school computers. We began to learn about TV Drama and watched clips from a series named 'Teachers' in which we had to find the stereotypes of a number of things. We were briefed on the different groups that are represented: Age, Sex, Race, Gender, Ability, Social Class and Region. The particular clips that we watched from 'Teachers' were centred around sexuality and ability. The one on ability showed a previously able man in a wheel chair, his collegues then went on to insult him by doing the stereotypical things that people do when around a disabled person. For example, talking to him in a loud, patronising tone, putting a blanket on him etc etc.

Finishing the video

My video is now complete and luckily, I managed to find some fitting music as two of my friends produce dubstep which is not yet copyrighted. I am pleased with how my video has turned out.
