Monday 8th- 11th March

During Monday's lesson we carried on focusing on 'moral panics' i know understand fully what a moral panic is and how the media plays a big role when exaggerating the problem. Collective identity and stereotypes also play a role in this too, these groups of people become a 'base' of moral panics, which could be seen as threatening by society.
The first 'moral panic' within society was the Waltz dance. This was because it was the first dance in which males and females had to touch eachother. This illustrates that most/some moral panics either just pass or deteriorate. However if some moral panics are 'dangerous' enough this could create new laws/ change legal policies.

During Tuesday and Wednesdays hours of media we got into groups and were set a task to complete. My group had to create a FACEBOOK group about Media A Level Student help, add friends, and then create a presentation on how we will protect the page from any rude/ un-needed comments. We will present this presenation sometime next week.
Here is the link to our group we created..

Our production lesson this week was a very important one in which we had to work well toegther in order to get it done quicker. We carried on with our editing of our film and so far we have the first verse and courus completed. I and other members of my group will try to use all free periods so that the video is completed and of a high standard. I am now quite confident we will finish this video on time.
