A Level Media reading list and wider opportunities

Media magazine revision:
13 Reasons Why is seen specifically as a text within a text,its narrative where eleven people respond to a media text:Hannah's personally record cassette tapes.The narrative tension in the show comes from different types of responses that the eleven people have.

there are many examples of characters' dominant, negotiated and oppositional readings of Hannah's tapes.There is a central conceit in the show about committing suicide.hear. Each person in this group is incrementally responsible for creating a confluence of events that leads to Hannah Baker’s suicide.
There are multiple interpretations to that question. An argument could be made that she wants to make people accountable for their actions, but at best, this is a secondary motivator. If justice was her central reason, she would have sent her tapes to the authorities or released them to the public electronically. However, I think the most valid answer is: Hannah wants to create sense of guilt in the listener. She wants them to be fully aware of their negative impact on her life.

For Make - up and hair - we had not used anything as thi...

Film & TV Language: Sound notes and practical task

 The Use of the song 'run' by Joji: -This was used with the space imagery as it speaks about wanting to escape a relationship- similarly to escaping Earth( parallel with first half of the video),furthermore the second half is contrapuntal as it shows the current state of what we live in and how we no longer feel the need to 'escape' , accepting man-kind and technological advance as the death of nature without our universe.

1.Blade Runner  What do you think the film is about and what might the storyline be? It looks like the person with the gun, is the protagonist and they are trying to fight for something, with clear intention against something in the future.   What genre(s) do you think the film belongs to?
