Kate Bradford GCSE Media: Eighth Lesson of Media Studies

In today’s lesson we started to looking at and analysing previous pupils work from last year. Their work was based on the different ages of perfume. For example the 1920s, 1980s and present day. We started thinking of what our controlled assessment work would be based on. Luckily, Mrs Mann told us that it would be on the same task as the previous year’s work. I had been thinking about different ideas on what kind of fragrance adverts I could study and analyse for my controlled assessment (don’t below is my first draft on adverts that I would consider analysing for my assessment).

As well as looking at previous years work again like last time. We looked at different kinds of ‘presentation software’ that we could use for our blogs. We could use different types of presenting software to impress the examiner when she marks our work and show that we not only know how to present slideshows or research but represent it in a different way to the normal basic form. An example of different presentation software is ‘Scoopit’. Mrs Mann showed the class the software and it looked very impressive and easy to use. I will certainly try and use it in my work when presenting research on my blog.
