AO1-demonstrate knowledge and application of the Key Concepts employed within Media Studies and the evaluation of texts and ideas using the Key Concepts, in my case the representation of women in action movies.
WWW-All key concepts are covered in my blog from media language to representation. I feel I have covered in detail the way women are represented either as empowered female role models or as sex objects, and the ways it is done so. I also feel I have done a lot of MIGRAIN analysis of clips from the movie and the actual movie itself
EBI- The key concepts which I lack the most I believe are theories and ideologies. I need to look more into depth of meanings behind certain connotations, i.e. the Gun in an action movie represents the phallic symbol. Moreover with theorist I need to be more precise and clear with what their theory really believes in and what they say. I also need to look into other theorist other than just Laura Mulvey and “male gaze”.
AO2- demonstrate knowledge and application of the wider contexts (historical, social, political, economic) relevant to Media Studies, In my case looking at the way representation of women in the action genre has changed historically, socially, politically and economically.
WWW- I have covered how women’s role in the media has changed historically and also economically
EBI- I need to cover the SHEP background in a lot more detail and need to find evidence to back up my points. I need to a lot more research into the wider contexts
A05- demonstrate the ability to use appropriate investigative and research techniques in carrying out an independent study of a media text, topic or issue
I have done excessive research into my actual film which I’m doing, as I have looked into reviews and individual characters, and I also feel my proposal is detailed. Moreover I have analysed different movie clips and the movie as a whole. I am also keeping a log of different websites I have visited and have got quotes from different reviews.
To improve my research I know I have to watch my text again more than 3 times, and I must look at it from different approaches, especially from a feminist prospective as my whole study is about how women are represented. I also have to analyse different texts in the same genre in depth and the way I have analysed my main text, and then go on to compare them with each other. For example comparing Charlie’s Angels with Wanted, I also need to look at more historical texts. Furthermore I need to do a lot more book research into my genre and theoretical perspectives.
SYPNOTIC ABILITY
I have linked my study to MED 4, representation and genre, as I have looked into representation of women in the action genre. However I need to link in more narrative theories, issues and debate also I need to bring in some Guardian stories relating women in the media. Altogether I need to improve my synoptic ability a lot more
CRITICAL AUTONOMY
Throughout my blog work I have been thinking for my self and doing the work on my own, however I could be more self motivated as I sometimes only get the work done because I have to not because I want to, but I do enjoy studying my text
QUALITY OF WRITTEN COMMUNICATION
My written work is good, however I can improve my spelling by doing spell checks, also the presentation can be improved a bit more
