Advertising Mark Scheme

A: Wording and images are CREATIVE and EXTREMELY APPEALING to a SPECIFIC audience. The final product is EXTREMELY APPROPRIATE and PROFESSIONAL and shows an EXCELLENT LEVEL OF TECHNICAL SKILL. The audience know EXACTLY WHAT TO EXPECT from the product. MANY CONVENTIONS have been used

B: Wording and images are IMAGINATIVE and MOSTLY APPEALING to a SPECIFIC audience. The final product is VERY APPROPRIATE and MOSTLY PROFESSIONAL, and shows a VERY GOOD LEVEL OF TECHNICAL SKILL. The audience have a GOOD IDEA OF WHAT TO EXPECT from the product. MANY CONVENTIONS have been used.
C: Wording and images show SOME IMAGINATION and have SOME APPEAL to a SPECIFIC audience. The final product is MOSTLY APPROPRIATE and shows a GOOD LEVEL OF TECHNICAL SKILL. The audience have SOME IDEA OF WHAT TO EXPECT from the product. SOME CONVENTIONS have been used.
D: Wording and images show UNDERSTANDING of the product and TRIES TO APPEAL to an audience although perhaps unsuccessfully. The final product is QUITE APPROPRIATE and shows a BASIC LEVEL OF TECHNICAL SKILLS. The audience have SOME IDEA OF WHAT TO EXPECT from the product. SOME CONVENTIONS have been used.
E: Wording and images show SOME UNDERSTANDING of the product but have LITTLE APPEAL to the audience. The final product is only PARTLY APPROPRIATE and shows LITTLE TECHNICAL SKILL. The audience have LITTLE IDEA OF WHAT TO EXPECT from the product. VERY FEW CONVENTIONS have been used, IF ANY.
2) Next you need to start creating your own advert in Photoshop (you came up with the idea before half term). This is for coursework and everyone should be aiming to meet the requirements for at least a C grade. You will only have 2 lessons to complete your advert. When you want to save your advert, make sure you save it as a Photoshop document (not as a JPEG) in the following way. Go to FILE - SAVE AS - MY COMPUTER - MULTIMEDIA - STUDENTS - PHOTOS - MEDIA STUDIES - WRITE - YEAR 9 MEDIA STUDIES
If you save it as a Photoshop file you will be able to edit it again in future lessons. IF you save it as a JPEG you will lose all your layers and will be unable to edit it again in future.

photoshop

Today i used Photoshop to edit a picture to make it look better. The picture i choose today is a man who has wrinkles and spots on his face. The first picture is the picture before i edited it and the second picture is taken after i edited him. I changed the picture by removing the wrinkles on his nose and under the eye using the patch tool. I also changed the colour of his eye from a light green/grey colour to a light blue/grey colour. To make him have smooth skin i removed all his spots using the .... tool.

Stereo Typical Teenagers

Introduction
This is a blog about peoples views on teenagers and how the media stereo type them. Teenagers in the media are often shown as hoodies,cruel or getting into trouble. All these things are not true. Most teenagers are actually loving, kind and helpful, so why do the media show teenagers in this way? Sometimes the media show teenagers in good ways such as "Britain's Got Talent" where young teenagers can shine.

TV
TV stations broadcast programs that show young people are uncaring and do silly things. One program that demonstrates my point is "Young, Dumb and Living Off Mum". The program shows teenagers that are unsuccessful and live off their parents money and lack passion to do well for themselves. Reality shows like these should not be broadcast as they dictate peoples views on teenagers and make them think that all teenagers are alike.

There are positive shows about teenagers, "X Factor" and "Britain's Got Talent". These types of programs show that teenagers and the older generation are alike in their motivation to succeed.  I think there should be more programs like this, as they illustrate teenagers in a good and positive way. If there were more of these programs peoples views would change for the better.

FILM


Film companies also stereotype teenagers in bad ways.  A good example of this is "Anuvahood". The film is based on a teenager called Kay who gets bail and looses all his possessions to bailiffs. As a result he turns to thieving and drug dealing. I don't think that there should be films like this, that stereotype teenagers in this way. It creates negative views towards young people. I think films like this that get produced should always state at the end that most teenagers aren't like this.

Anuvahood


News
Recently in the news there has been a lot of talk about teenagers doing criminal activities. An example of teenage criminality is the England Riots. Between the 6th to the 10th August as there was a riot in relation to the police shooting of Mark Duggan. The riot began in Tottenham and then spread rapidly to all constituencies. I think that the Mark Dugan incident was an excuse to loot.

This is a video about the England Riots



This video shows how bad some teenagers and young adults were in the English riots. Not all teenagers were on the streets across England, a majority of teenagers were at home watching it on the news and it was a minority that caused distress to the nation.

Conclusion
Overall I think that the media shows teenagers in a bad light. I am getting fed up with how the media stereotype teenagers in this way. I think that media companies should start representing teenagers as civilised human beings in positive stories.


Hope you enjoy my blog and please comment!!!
