Critical reflection is the ability to step away from your own work and critically analyse it. This is not only an evaluation of the work, it is the instinct to theorise our own things, getting to a level where opinion does not affect the evaluation, it is from a perspective outside your own, opinionated one.
The 10 Commandments for Reflective Writing by the Moses of Media:
1. Focus on creative decisions informed by institutional knowledge
2. Focus on creative decisions informed by theoretical understanding
3. Evaluate the process
4. Relate your media to 'real media' at the micro level
5. Try to deconstruct yourself
6. Choose clearly relevent micro examples to relate to macro reflective
7. Avoid binary opposites
8. Try to write about your broadcaster media culture
9. Adopt a metadiscourse
10. Quote, paraphrase, reference
Key Concepts
Synergy: The way that two media texts sync together, for example a poster with a film. It is concepts being continued across the texts
Downloaders: Pretty self explanatory, it is the new term given to the way of accessing media that does not require hard copies of it.
Theorised: Explores theories of media showing understanding of other forms of media
