- Good topic - genuine media issue .
- Timing pretty good - not trying to squeeze too much in.
- Good points on stereotypes + representation of women.
- imagine analysis works very well in the presentations.
- Excellent issue in terms of feminism + impact on audience (pressure on women etc).
- Moving from image analysis to lyrics work well.
- Structure of presentation is pretty good.
EBI:
- Could link analysis to wider issues though (feminism representations of women etc.)
- Could bring in more media concepts/issues/theory - effects on audience.
My presentations main focus was based on Beyonce's music video "Deja Vu", my Critical Investigation is based on how female artist portray themselves though their music videos. The research I did contributed to my presentation because it explained the point I was trying to get across. I looked at the main female artist Beyonce because she's a role model to many and she has some good examples that would help me explore my critical investigation further. I think the way I delivered my presentation could have been better, with more practice and preparation it would have been a clear and understandable presentation. However, I managed to start exploring my topic area. Towards the end of my presentation I mentioned that I would not only focus on Beyonce but also look at other popular female artist such as Nicki Minaj. My initial idea was to focus on how the Media represents women but then decided that looking at music videos and how important women (that have such a big impact of young girls lives) can portray themselves though their music videos. I now plan to develop the presentation into an extended academic essay by firstly mentioning how the women portray themselves, I want to show both the negative and positive side of how they can portray themselves and then I want to express the impact it has on women and young girls. Overall I think I've chosen a strong topic to write about, one that I myself is very passionate about (being a girl of course).
