How well is the course organised 2

The media course is organised very well, as teachers simplify the workload and the structure in which the work has to be set, teachers also offer undivided attention for those who need assistance, e.g. People who have no previous experience on media studies. Such as I.

How interesting is the content that is covered? 1

The content that is covered within the media course is very interesting as it is something new in which I have never studied before. It is one of my current favourite subjects as I enjoy doing the work.

How useful are the handouts? 2

The handouts we receive are very useful because they break down what was covered in the lesson. They are also for us to keep, which is vital for us to revise from whilst taking notes to further our understanding of the topic.

The lessons have been well placed to the extent that it is easy to know what we are doing in the lesson.

How well has the course met your expectations?

The course is different to what I expected, as I didn’t think it would be this much theory.

evaluation of media awards

A Rappers Ambition
I personally believe that this was for me one of the most enjoyable short films to watch. The reason being is because firstly they had put original shots in and you can see this as the night went on they were the only group to successfully do a short film of this genre. The most memorable being the glass breaking on the floor and then quickly rewinding back into the hand of the thrower this is because of the angel of the camera what perfect to view the good acting of the person acting the role and also to see the glass breaking. In addition to my god review they also won best overall production and deservedly so.

Saving faith
I believe that this production was one of the most original as it contained many every day life situations that teenagers of our time are faced with. This ensured success as the audience’s reaction was encouraging as they acknowledged that a new era had begun, where teenagers can understand and relate their lives to.

silent pain
This media production was also one of my favourites as they talked about serious issues people are faced with in today’s world such as rape. Not only did they take a serious approach to this they also went in more depth about the situation. Some of the advantage of showing this was to tell women consequences and what to do if you are in this kind of situation. Overall, this documentary has sure given women a new way of looking at things and how they are to react and act in this kind of situation if it was to happen to them or some one they know.

Self Evaluation

Attainment – 3: the reason as to why I have given my self a 3 on attainment as I have never done media studies before and it is something new to me but I am willing to try my hardest to get the best possible grade and do my self as well as everyone else proud.

Effort – 2: I have given myself a 2 for effort since I indisputably believe that I give nothing but my all, all the time weather it’s when I am in class or when I am at home doing work.

Punctuality – 1: I consider my punctuality to be of good quality as I have missed np lessons and as I have been on time to ALL of my lesson as this is what is accepted of A-level students.

Submission and quality of homework – 3: The submission and quality of my homework I consider it to be average this is because I am still getting use to the terms and key words..

Ability to work independently – 3:I also give my self a 3 for my ability to work independently the reason being is because I am still getting to grip with media and I believe I will be able to work on my own.

Quality of writing – 2: My quality of writing I believe is Okay but at the same time I like to think I am improving gradually as the lessons go by.

Organisation of media folder – 2: The organisation of my media folder I believe is up to date as well as being well organised but can be improved in many ways.

Oral contributions in classroom – 2: I believe my oral communications are at a level 2 standard, the reason is because I am not afraid to get an answer wrong and am willing to learn for my mistakes an I believe the only way I can do this is by knowing what is correct and what is incorrect.
