End of unit assessment

 1. close up/ zoomed in

2. he wears a suit which makes him look smart. he talks formally to others being polite. and he has high intelligence.

3. when steed walks around the abandoned air field, it makes audiences feel emotions of sympathy and sorrow. this is because steed's actor was in the war and this could bring up memories that people try to conceal. overall steed would have been thinking about the past in this moment and the many soldiers who died in battle, steed even salutes them. the airfield scene wouldn't have so much of an effect on people in our generation however, for people living in the 1960s this scene would have brought memories from the past that would rather be forgotten

4. Emma peel is depicted as the modern woman by how she dresses. Emma peel dresses in a tight cat suit which depicts her athletic capabilities as well as her body. this was very unusual for woman in the 1960s. another way that Emma peel is shown to be the modern woman is by the way she acts within the face of danger, for example, in the church scene when the vickor pulls a gun on her, she stays cool and slowly backs out of the church towards the choir only to find that it was a recording. even after she discovers this she is still smiling showing how calm she is even when facing death. she then attacks the vickor with what she has which was a clipboard, and makes a run for the door which once she opens it she is met by two other imposters with guns which once again she keeps her cool and leans against the door frame and smiles. this greatly shows how Emma peel was in this moment, cool, calm, and sure of herself

5.POV or point of view. it is there because piggy warren said miss peel packed her bags and left but her bags are still here

6. in the school scene you can see the Mr steed is sitting down in an infants chair where as Miss peel is standing up to represent that she is the teacher in this moment. she is educating Mr steed which is very un stereotypical, since it should have been the other way around.

7. in this scene we learn that Miss peel is very athletic due to her capability to fence a man who resorted to cheating to win. she also states that the cream is in the kitchen when Mr steed asked for some. after showing us that Emma peel is not the typical woman she is then depicted as a stereotypical woman when steed overrules Emma and he books her a ticket to little Baisley already and she is forced to come

8. non-diegetic 

9. chief of police

10. Jake  son 

11. obnoxious

12.  

MUSIC VIDEOS: MUSIC LANGUAGE

 PREP Explain how music videos use media language to promote their artists. Refer to the pair of music videos you have studied from the list below in your answer.

Our music videos are Wheatus Teenage Dirtbag Avril Lavigne Sk8ter Boi

HOW TO ANSWER: Media language points to consider:

the prioritising of the star / the group; the privileging of the star / the groups in the frame

authenticating the star's performance / the band's performance to show their skills

the use of close ups; lip syncing to camera; eye contact with the audience

Music magazine Media language

 Look carefully at the front covers of MOJO and RNR magazines. 

QUESTION: How far do MOJO and RNR use different media language to create different connotations? (CONNOTATION meaning: an idea or quality that a word makes you think about in addition to its meaning.)

Answer on your blog. This is a high-value question and should take all lesson to answer. You can use the class blog search engine for more examples of how to analyse music magazines.

In your answer you should have 2 paragraphs:

• analyse the media language in MOJO and RNR magazine. 'Media language' includes the placement of the main image, the type of photography, lighting, colours, fonts, how busy or restrained the cover is, the layout (such as alignment to the margins), how serious or playful 
• make judgements and draw conclusions about how far the media language is used differently in both extracts to create different connotations. Are there similarities in both covers? What sorts of audiences are they targeting? You could think about MOJO's rock aesthetic of living loud and dangerously compared to RNR's folk, rock, blues vibe.
