4th November - S5&6 Class Task

Please read the following and then complete the tasks set;

1) Go to Student In/Media Studies/S5 & 6/ Adverts

2) There are 9 T.V. Adverts there - watch them. If they won't play, you can access VLCPortable from the same directory.

3) For each advert, identify the following;
* The Brand (name of the product - i.e. Phones4u)
* The Theme (Category & Language - i.e. Phones4u = Horror Movie theme)
* The Strapline (or Slogan - fits into theme, i.e. "Missing our deals will haunt you")
* The Unique Selling Point (why should the customer choose this over other similar items)

4) Choose one of the nine adverts. You are going to plan (script or storyboard) the next entry in this advertising campaign. It needs to be familiar (same strapline, same theme) but fresh. Compare the Scary Girl Phones4u advert to the Zombie Phones4u advert. They both follow the same theme, but use different CODES.

I should be back before the end of the lesson - I shall see what you've come up with then.

HOLIDAY TASK: Media Journal

Over the course of the holiday, I would like you to record every time you interact with Media (Films, Magazines, Computer Games, Websites, etc.) on the Media Journal which you have been supplied with.

By the time we get back you should all have a record of your media usage, and this will paint a clear picture as to the importance of Media in our lives.

You can download extra copied of the Media Journal template here if you need to.

Please comment on this post if you have any questions of queries about the task.

Hope you all have a good holiday,
Mr. Harris
