TV assessment learner response 


1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential).

WWW: Q2 shows some good knowledge of the CSPs so now we need to add exam techniques to push towards the higher levels.

EBI: Q1 is a great lesson in question focus: you need to answer the question! Revise postmodernism and for Q2 you need to discuss ideologies: what is the message to audiences?


2) Read the whole mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Identify at least one potential point that you missed out on for each question in the assessment (even if you got full marks for the question).

Q1: The poster is an excellent example of bricolage: the juxtaposition of old and new texts,
images, ideas and narratives to create new meanings. There are many examples of intertextuality: the main central image suggests a bridge between James Bond and Austin Powers (bond parody) with Tower Bridge in the background reinforcing London as a location; Samuel L. Jackon’s image nods to both Tarantino films and the Blaxploitation genre (Tarantino is also referenced by the martial arts female suggesting the Kill Bill movies); Michael Caine (bottom right) appears to be reprising his role in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy; the image at the top is visually reminiscent of Matt Damon’s Bourne films (e.g. The Bourne Identity).

Q2: The crime genre – which all the CSPs have elements of – has a long tradition of dealing with
political and social issues in order to construct arguments and positions the construction of representations through audience alignment (such as through the role of the hero) position the spectator to take up a particular view


3) The first question demanded a response using postmodern terminology. Write a definition here of the three main terms:

Bricolage: The juxtaposition of old and new texts, images, ideas and narratives to create new meanings.

Pastiche:This refers to media products that imitate the style of another text, artist or time period. Pastiche is an example of intertextuality and takes a positive view of the original source.

Intertextuality: Reference of different or other media texts in another product. 

4) Read this exemplar answer for the 25-mark question in the assessment. Select a quote from the essay for each of the following aspects from the mark scheme:

a) analysis of the products that focuses on contexts and ideological positioning

 Although the Daily Mail heavily criticised Capital for featuring ‘more leftwing causes than a Jerem Corbyn’s diary’ it could be argued that the focus on house prices and hard work actually reinforces dominant hegemonic ideologies most closely associated with right-wing capitalist values.

B) use of media theory

 Applying Gramsci’s theory of hegemony, this is unconsciously communicating to audiences the value in working hard, earning money and contributing to consumerism and capitalism - maintaining the status quo and reinforcing more right wing ideology.

C) a judgement or conclusion on the question

In conclusion, it is impossible to ignore the ideological positions constructed by television dramas and Capital and D83 are no exception to this. However, it could be argued that different audiences can read these fictional genres in different ways depending on their own perspectives and therefore social, cultural and political contexts are not the only aspect to this process.

D) examples from the TV CSPs

 Capital is a state-of-the-nation drama...

Deutschland 83 (D83), the historical drama / spy thriller genre

E) use of media terminology 

 However, some audiences may challenge this dominant or preferred reading and suggest that other ideological readings are available.

5) Based on this assessment, write three things you need to revise before the upcoming end of Year 12 exams.

1. I need to revise my Film CSP Blinded By The Light as I have forgotten most parts of it.

2. I need to revise postmodernism because clearly I did not put in enough time and effort into it as I did not get the grade I expected.

3. Revise through the media theorists such as Marxism as I still do not understand what his theory is about.

Mise-en-scene video recreation and learner response

  1)   Mr Bush’s feedback: I had reviewed both positive and negative feedback which is helpful for my future projects. I had included a shot list as requested however like you said it would be better if i had added the time of the clip shots which i will do next time. The original soundtrack was used in the scenes that it was meant for and the setting was accurate as the location was a school and we had filmed it in a hallway with lockers. Although the performers had attempted to stick to the original the clothing of the principle was not accurate. Finally the export quality needed a higher resolution. 2)  Feedback from peers: WWW: accurate with original clip x4 setting is accurate (location)x 8 Audio match x 4 Camera angle was well x4 EBI quality x5 camera angle x3 Costume x3 Lighting  3)  Self assessment: I believe that if i put more effort in i would’ve been able to achieve all the things i had to do. What went well was the audio and the acting, me and Bushra tried our best to find

    This image is from the show “How to get away with murder” and in this image there is an  low angle  as Annalise  the women is seem the one who has all the power over her dead husband Sam who is on the floor dead. This communicates with the audience as it shows us who is in charge and maybe be a suspect of this dead body. In this clip is from how to get away with murder the last episode. In the opening it starts with POV which is franks(the shooters pov) then it shifts to medium close up into Bonnie’s face to show the suspense on her face expression.
