Hope and I went around the school asking teachers a question the question was how are cheerleaders presented in movies. If I was to be asked that question I would say they usually have blue eyes and blonde hair and they are portrayed as dumb and full of themselves. We uploaded the videos we took of them on YouTube this is the link:

We were learning about representation and stereotypes. A representation is how something is presented in this case in the media. Stereotypes are an idea that people have about what someone or something is like. Click this link for a mind map that I made for how cheerleaders are presented in the media. We were also watching advertisements and seeing how men and women were stereotyped in them.

I had media studies on the 16/9/2015 we went to a computer room for a change. We were learning about different camera angles. We took pictures from different angles.


This is a medium shot it is used to show actions in a straightforward way


This is an extreme close up it is used to show high emotion and create tension


This is a close up it helps to involve the audience in a scene


This is a long shot it helps to establish where a scene is happening


This is a point of view shot it shows what a character is seeing


This is a low angle shot it makes the audience feel vulnerable

Denotation is the dictionary meaning of the word and connotation is what you think about when you hear the word for example the name 'Hollywood' connotes glamour, glitz, celebrities and dreams and the word 'Hollywood' denotes an area in Los Angeles. I was really confused at the start but miss told us some examples then I started to get it.

 My definition of mediating is when you resolve differences between people by making them work together. We also done a mind map. Miss told us a scenario of mediating which made me understand what it meant as I was a bit confused at the start. We also watched three videos about immigrants from Syria and we read an article on JK Rowling tweeting a sarcastic tweet about Syrian immigrants. We wrote a couple of bullet points on each article.
