Weekly Progress [ Converse Advert Storyboard ]

-

Week 1

In the first week, we set up a blog and a youtube channel. We also reviewed some theories from AS level such as camera technical codes. 

Week 2

Our teacher introduced the storyboard project briefly (what to do, timeline, rubric).  We were introduced tp new theories (Todorov's Theory of Narrative, Levi Strauss' Binary Opposites Theory)

I created blogs containing case studies of the theories we learned in class. We also made a video about Camera shots and angles to experiment and develop a deeper understanding about the topic.

Week 3

We were introduced to Barthes' Codes and I made another case study blog about it. I also experimented with different camera movement and made a video of it with a partner in class. We tried to make our first storyboard in the class along with the teacher's instruction.

Week 4

On this week, we explained our big plan about our advert to the teacher. We research and watched other advertisements as a reference for our advertisement.  I made a blog to analyze the brand identity of the product I want to advertise. I chose an advertisement I like and make a storyboard of it to familiarize myself to a new digital drawing software.

Week 5

We consulted about our advertisement ideas with the teacher and we were given feedback. We were introduced to a new theory, Postmodernism.

Week 6

We finished our first draft of the advert storyboard and we were given feedback by the teacher. We also discussed about homage, parody, pastiche and satire in class

Week 7

I created a blog where I analyze 3 different advertisements. I applied the thing I learned from the analysis to my advert. We also started to create our final draft of the storyboard.

Week 8

We learned about the relationship between representation and reality. We learned different types of representations through watching many different films. We started to write the essay this week.

Week 9

We were introduced to more examples of representation (feminism). We also finalize out final draft of the storyboard and essay.

Hypodermic Needle Theory  Not really considered a working theory any more. The belief that the audience is a sponge, and accepts any message from the media without any question. Case study -> Orson Welles' radio adaptation of The War of the World (1938) was clearly announced as a drama but some people believed it to be true. Cultivation Theory - George Gerbner Exposure to media over time will reinforce existing ideologies.

Consumers - people who sees the particular text as a disposable commodity Fans -  devoted followers of media texts who actively engage with the products to construct their own meanings and interpretations beyond the original message. Stereotypical fan behaviors: cosplay their favorite characters, write fan fiction, post their own theories online, and form new subcultures based on the product. Henry Jenkin's Fandom Theory Suggests that fans play a key role in the media (production, distribution and consumption process) - Production: fans send or post their feedbacks or suggestions regarding the media text to the producer - Distribution: fans comment, retweet and share posts about their favorite media texts to increase engagement and encourage other people to consume the text.  - Consumption/Exhibition: fans consume media text and construct & share their own interpretation of the meaning of the product to other fans. Productivity in Fandom:  - Semiotic productivity - Refers to t
