·         Proofread your work and make sure there are no spelling, punctuation or grammar issues.

·         Attempt extension questions.

2) Key Concepts film poster analysis (blog)

·         Language: how do we know it is a film poster? What impact do the key conventions have on the audience?

3) Fruit bowl

4) Denotation and connotation (blog)

·         For the WaterAid advert, what else is the producer trying to urge the audience to do?

·         For the Top Boy poster, examine the location in the background too – what connotations do we have of this location? Make sure you re-read over your paragraph because at the moment some parts of it don’t make sense.

Attempt the extension task: https://mediamacguffingcseyear1.blogspot.com/2019/09/denotation-and-connotation.html

LR task 2:The impact on the audience would be a sort of sad and sorrow as the men hovering above the shadow seemed to be ghosted/faded which would suggest they could have died in battle.

We can infer this is a film poster as at the bottom is states when the film is coming out and the credits and producers.

LR task 4:In the WaterAid  advert it also tries to urge you to donate a bit of money to help the cause and to make us feel lucky we have toilets and not have to dig our toilets.

The connotation of the background is in a sort of underground garage and since the man is holding a gun could suggest that someone was set up to get killed as a underground garage is not a place you would expect a lot of people to be.
