WWW: Your blog reflects the excellent start you’ve made in Media – well done! I’m impressed that you’re writing in some depth from the very first blog task this year – that’s a brilliant sign and suggests you’ve got the right attitude and should definitely be aiming for those top grades. I’m particularly impressed with the Skyscraper film poster analysis – the fact you’re already using media language such as ‘sans-serif’ font is an extremely good sign (I imagine you’ve been speaking to other Media students to help you here but that’s not a bad thing!) Along similar lines, your points on representation in the Skyscraper poster are accurate with regards to masculinity in action films and this is absolutely brilliant in the first few weeks of Media! EBI: One key aspect to work on – written English. You need to make sure the basics are right in every blogpost and you are using capital letters correctly.
