I have covered representation and audience the best because i've covered those in alot of depth as my main focus for my study is represetation and audience because they get the first impression of the characters and get to take a preffered reading or a oppositional reading.
I think the key concepts that need more work are definetly ideologies and theories and the theorists themselves. For example, i've not done enough research into Laura Mulvey herself and why she came up with this theory. Another thing is to research the female gaze which was talked about in class and was thought to be a good tool to my study.
AO2- I haven't looked at the zeitgeist theme because that doesn't really affect my text because of the context of the movie. The reason for that is because this movie is a remake so it would try to employ the same conventions as back then, that's why there are no gadgets in this movie and no Q, so in a nutshell the zeitgeist period hasn't affected my text in any sort of way.
SHEP is an important aspect of my study because i need to be able to know the historical aspects behind the text which im pretty confident with as i know the previous movies and the institution of the text, however i need to know more about the text based on the socialogical aspects, the political aspects and the economical aspects of the text.
In order of covering the rest of the SHEP aspects what would be ideal would be to do more research behind the directors, producers and the makers of the text and look at what made them make this movie, what they wanted to prove and what problems they established during the making of this movie.
AO5- Since my chosen text is one of the newest and most modern texts, it wasn't hard to find reviews and articles on my text. Most of the reviews and quotations i researched were mainly based on the role of Bond, since he is the main character, however within the reviews and articles i did manage to find sections on the role of the bondgirl and how well that role was played. A basic overview of the reviews were all in favour of the bondgirl being played very well by Eva Green and one the most memorable quotations was "she's a cut above the average bondgirl".
As said previously, one of my main targets of my study is to focus more on and research more on the issues and debates which will enhance my knowledge of the background of the text and will allow me to answer my question in more depth. In my opinion, my hypothesis is detailed enough for me to see what i have to do and what i have to achieve in order to complete my study. I have included all the nessecities that i need for my study and outlined clearly what it needed.
I have done alot of texual analysis looking specifically at particular scenes that prove my study and the trailer as it gives a more direct and a better overview of the movie than trying to interpret what the movie is about just by looking at scenes. The most analyised aspect of my movie has been the trailer as it gives a better view of the characters and what their specific role is in the text. It is easier for me to analyise my text from different points of view on one hand as i've seen it so many times however, when watching the text my first instinct is not to make notes on key concepts shown in the text but it is more to enjoy it.
I have analyised other texts other than my main one as i am looking at two more texts as background texts from a few years back and one from forty years back to show what the difference is between texts back in the olden days compared to what is portrayed in the newer text and showing the main difference in how the women were treated before and now.
Synoptic ability- I have linked my text to other aspects of the media, for example i did look at aspects of what we had previously studied in med 2 last year like the narrative and different audience theories especially the uses and gratifications theory and taking a preffered reading or an oppositional reading.
To be honest i haven't done much reading from the media guardian website but i do intend to do some research into the site very soon into my study as it has decent info about the current state of the media which i can then link to my study and interpret what issues and debates go along with the making on the movie.
Critical autonamy- I have been very self driven, (no one else is gonna do this study for me), but i have enjoyed it so far, hope it will stay that way. I have been thinking for myself along with the different interpretations that i can draw out from my text, but most of my ideas have been based purely on my won interpretations and opinions of the movie.
Quality of written communication- Take a look at my blog yourself you'll see all you need to see, i didn't get 3 credits for nothing you know.
