Critical investigation feedback 01/11/17

    Good start to Notes & Quotes document – clearly some solid research there already and you’ve hit the 2,000 word deadline. Well done!
·         This may be due to the formatting on the blog but I would look to divide up your research more and use titles much more clearly. You may also want to add a very brief summary of what it is you are reading (web article, research paper etc.) so when you write the essay later you are able to introduce the quote accurately.
·         One important bit of feedback: your quotes are VERY long. This will actually make it really difficult to use the quotes when you come to write the essay. As you research further, you need to just select the sentence that really makes the point you are trying to make and add that to your N&Q document. Add a note for how you could use the quote too (‘this would help my argument that masculinity is damaging young men’ or similar).
·         Your project proposal is unfinished… and you’re missing the crucial bit in terms of research – the research plan! Go back and make sure this is done – it will give you a plan and structure for your N&Q document that you can work through over the next few weeks.
  1.   Firstly, I am going to start to putting in more brief/small summaries of the notes and quotes that I find through my research
  2.      Furthermore, I will ensure to finish of any work that has been left out task that could benefit the notes and quotes.
  3.      .Finally, make my notes and quotes much smaller for future notes and the quotes that find; and this will overall benefit me in the future when I write my essay

Critical Investigation: Project proposal

Angle How will you approach this question? Is this simply a moral panic of the 21st century or is further regulation required? I’m going to approach this question form the angle of why does the impact of masculinity have on young men which and how this is changing the way the younger audience think and this could be considered as a moral panic as because this impact can lead to other problems.  Hypothesis what is your current opinion or viewpoint on the media debate? That is: what will you be  testing  through your research and investigation? E.g.: Video games are psychologically damaging for young people, and audiences have become increasingly desensitised to screen violence. In my opinion I find that this is a major factor psychologically which means that it could lead the audiences to obtain some forms of disorders.   Linked production piece what are you planning to make as your linked production piece? E.g.: News night-style documentary video re...

Your classwork AND homework is to start your Notes and Quotes document and reach at least 2,000 words - due after half-term. http://www.menshealth.co.uk/building-muscle/get-big/the-rock-pain-and-gain-workout-programme :  Men's health does not only have a segment on the rock about the text it also has a segment explaining how he trained for the actual film and within this  aritcle  it states within the opening line  " Take on the workouts the Hollywood heavyweight used to bulk up for his meatiest role".  evidently, this shows that younger individuals are going to be forced to think about their Masculinity, which then follows through to their represent in modern society and this will then overall have a problem with how they look and their image.  on the other hand from the reviewers of the film (from IMDB) and through this research was able to find a majority of  positive comments about the film which consider the fact of representation of young...
