Critical Investigation: learner response

WWW- There is the potential for a fascinating essay here- the argument you lout out in the introduction regarding whether black males contribute to their own negative stereotypes is a very interesting one. However...

EBI- You don't go on to explicitly focus on this debate in the rest of the essay. This is an issue to focus on.
-The biggest aspect holding you back by far is the lack of research. Your bibliography is miles short of where it needs to be with almost no academic sources. Where is the evidence of the BFI trip ?PDFs on system or books in class ? I can only see one.
-Written english is poor : you consistently fail to use capital letters for titles/names. That is not good enough at A2 level.
-The second half of the essay introduces some interesting theory but doesn't link any of it back to primary/secondary texts. You're missing out here!
-Textual analysis lacks detail and relevance to essay question.

Plan

Aiming for a B grade.

1. Add more research to bibliography
2. Go over capital letters and punctuation
3. Always link theory back to main question and primary and secondary texts
4. Go into more detail with textual analysis
5. Link theories in every paragraph (Alvarado,Fanon)

MEST4: Linked Production planning

Writing your own Linked Production brief

Complete the following and post it to your blog in a new blogpost called 'Linked Production brief'.

Your Critical Investigation topic: How black males represent themselves in music videos


Your Linked Production brief: music video 
Using the track Harlem boys- Grip and Ride


Length/size of production (e.g. 3 minutes, 5 pages etc.): 4 minutes


Give an example of an existing media text this is similar to what you plan to produce: Lil Durk-Ride


Give an example of an institution that would produce or distribute your planned production:
Pressplay
GRM Daily
Linkup Tv

How would your production reach its audience?
It will be aimed at a younger audience like young males as there will be young males in the video themselves.
