REVISE KEN LOACH FILMS

EXAM ESSAY: Analyse how media institutions are using different platforms to engage with their audiences. Set on Jan 26

Imagine that you have to answer this exam question. You would have to know about a range of films, so this revision makes about a third of an essay. You last worked on this on Friday, 26 November 2021 so it is familiar material.
Look on the class blog under Ken Loach films and use the two case studies 'Sorry We Missed You' and 'I, Daniel Blake'
 

Upload your answer on Classroom.
 

This is what you did last time:

• watch the trailer for Sorry We Missed You twice
• look carefully at the film website 
• consider why the website devotes so much space to ‘find the film screening’ and ‘book tickets’ (the right third)
• analyse the poster (left third) in terms of pull quotes, director power, accolades, subject matter, lighting, colour
• identify the convergent links on the website (top ribbon)
• open and read the link about the gig economy  Join The Impact Campaign
• open and read the link about Aiden Doyle’s paintings
• decide who the target audiences for Loach films (like this) are
