AO1 -Demonstrate knowledge and application of the Key Concepts employed within Media Studies and the evaluation of texts and ideas using the Key Concepts

Looking at MIGRAIN, i have analysied my texted using this acoronym, but there are some things i have missed out, for exmaple the instiuition of the text, this could have an effect on teh audience etc.
I have been looking mostly ad Media Language, Representationa and Ideologies that have been put across frm my text, as these three key concepts can help me answer y question about if the NEW MAN still exists.


AO2 - Demonstrate knowledge and application of the wider contexts (historical, social, political, economic) relevant to Media Studies

Looking at the wider contexts using SHEP, i have taken into account the historical issues of feminism and the new man.
I am aware perosnaly of the social, economical and political issues, but have no written proof of this, my new task would be to analyse and put into account SHEP entirely. This is an important part of my task to look how how the new man was producyed, and why his reprsentations are trying to be isolated.


AO5 - Demonstrate the ability to use appropriate investigative and research techniques in carrying out an independent study of a media text, topic or issue

Looking at my ressreach, my text has such a lare amount of resreach to look at as their are many differnt repreentation that are present which affect the representation of te new man within the text.
I wouldnt sa i have done alot or nothing. I would be in the middle, but i am also missing alot of resreach, such as other texts that i want to include which include the text Troy. Including other texts is a very important thing, as i need to look at where the new man began to die down. i will need to look at otehr similar genre texts.
I think i have concluded with a great question, not only for my text but as a general question is society etc. It is a good argument to see if the new man roles are present and why, also looking at different reactions to people and the media.
My new aim is to look at other texts and start categorizing my research what is where and what i need to do next.



Synoptic Ability - Draw together understanding of Key Concepts, from different parts of the specification in order to make effective textual readings.
Draw upon knowledge and application of a wide range of possible relevant contexts, in order to account for the characteristics of media texts

Looking at synoptic ability, this is my strong suit, as from studying it in yr 10, i have still used the same knowledge and extra knowledge throughout the years.
Realting this to my text, i have used alot of old knowledge, such as light, camera angle, long shots etc.
The only thing i need to take into account is sound, at the moment, sound isn't an important aspect compared to otehr things i need to do.
Looking at camera angle's and types of shot is a very important to my text, as these techniques are used to increase tensiona nd categorise reprsentation in their places, such as inferior shots of the protaginist etc.
I ahve linked my text to med 2, audience and theories, but not et to med 6. I still think i can add more to med 2.

Critical Autonomy - Apply critical ideas and principles to new situations – and demonstrate media literacy in responses to media texts

I have used many of my own ideas, andhave been looking at ideas of my own from my text.
I have been working independly, with alot of help form other issue such as SHEP, but i have not done a written ideas on them, just thinking ideas.
I am self motivated, but sometimes can get myself dug into a hole where my self motivation is not present. From last year i ahd made this mistake, and i am now getting myself out of that hole and now am usinga s much time as possible to complete this module. This a very difficult topic for me as i lack in writing.
