This is the feedback that I got from my teacher on what I need to do to get into level 4 for my planning

My Targets For The Week



This is my target sheet that I filled out and I ticked off the things that I have done so far and any posts that I have recently uploaded.

Group Name Ideas


These are our ideas for group names and we circled the ones that we preferred. We then put a poll on our blogs for people to vote for the name they prefer and the results are above.

Communication Skills



This is one of our conversations on Facebook planning when to film our music video. 
We often communicate as a group to decide when to film and meet up.

Stuart Hall


Stuart Hall

Stuart Hall is a media theorist who specifically focuses on audiences and how they interact with what they watch and their reactions to the story lines and each character. He explains it through the 
encoding and decoding theory.

Encoding and Decoding theory
Dominant reading – the reader fully shares the text’s code and accepts and reproduces the preferred reading in such a stance that the code seems natural.

Negotiated reading – the reader partly shares the texts and accepts the preferred reading, but sometimes 
resists and modifies it in a way that reflects their own position.

Oppositional reading – when someone watches a film or program and feels the opposite about a certain character than the director intended them to.
