A2: Postmodern Media Wiki

In order to help you revise I want you to collaboratively edit a wiki covering the entire unit. The exercise will force you to truncate the masses of notes, quotes and information that you have accumulated in to a manageable resource that can be used for revision.

The wiki is available here: http://learning.chalfonts.bucks.sch.uk/mod/wiki/view.php?id=22954

The enrolment key is: fargo

"The Big Lebowski" as Postmodern Posterboy (or How I Learnt to Stop Worrying and Love Baudrillard)

Please read the following article in preparation for tomorrow's ILP Day.

"The Big Lebowski" as Postmodern Posterboy (or How I Learnt to Stop Worrying and Love Baudrillard) by David Larson

We will be in Room 82.

It is an important day, we will be completing the following activities:

1. A review and round up of our analysis of the works of the Coen Brothers
2. An analysis of advertising as a form of postmodern media
3. An analysis of music video as a form of postmodern media (including a particular focus on Gorillaz)
4. An analysis of the Mighty Boosh as postmodern media

There will be related reading material provided throughout.

Also, there will be a follow on homework activity, in which you will begin your preparation for assessment.

Part of this will be to collaborate on a revision source for the unit. This will be created as a wiki within the VLE.

The following adverts and music videos will be used during the day:
