Week 10 - Day 3

Today I had a feedback turtorial with Andy on my assessment on moodle. The assessment was analysing the marketing of 'The Wrestler,' which was part of the Introduction to cinema module. I passed which was a good thing to hear. I encouraged my group on choosing a film and gave good analysis of the marketing campaign. A lthough, in the module as whole Andy would like me to extend and offer more thoughts on my blog on what i have covered in class. The feedback was useful because it shows me how i need to improve on my blogging.

In the afternoon, we had a viewing of a tv documentary style drama called 'Cathy come home,' it was very emotional, it was about a young couple and how they go down a poverty hole, after the husband is injured and can't go to work. At the end of the screening I was completely stunned. The tv drama back in the 60s brought up issues of homlessness, unemployment and the rights of mothers to keep their own children which resulted in a national housebuilding programme.The film should us how television is a potential force for change in society.
