Media paper 2 LR

-

 

 Create a new blogpost on your Media Coursework blog called 'Media Paper 2 learner response' and work through the following tasks:

1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to). 

WWW-Q1 is excellent: top level. The challenge now is replicating that in the 25 mark essays, particularly the evaluation of theory which is tricky.

EBI-in Q2 you needed much more discussion of the theory. Politics and ideology would have helped here: are producers promoting left or right? Capitalism or communism?
-revise CSP too so you can provide detailed and accurate evidence from the text.

2) Read the mark scheme for this exam carefully, paying particular attention to the 'indicative content' for each question. Firstly, focus on the unseen question and identify two aspects of the poster that you could have written about in your answer.

• the interrelationship between media technologies and patterns of consumption and response
• how audiences interpret the media, including how they may interpret the same media in different ways

3) Look at the indicative content for Q1 again and make a note of any theories or examples of media terminology you could have used in your answer.

• the codes and conventions of media forms and products, including the processes through which media language develops as genre
• the representation of youth as diverse in terms of gender and race
• the link between genre and stereotypes – the representation of victim in the thriller/crime drama.

4) Now focus on the TV 25-marker. Read this exemplar response for the TV question and pick out three arguments, phrases or theories from the essay that you could use in a future question on Capital and Deutschland 83.

-The Daily Mail’s review of capital described it as ‘more packed with left-wing causes than Jeremy Corbyn’s diary’ which suggests a preferred reading that is left-wing and socialist. Indeed, an analysis of characters and representations supports this idea of producers promoting a ‘woke’, left-wing agenda.
-Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony is relevant here as it could be argued that Capital’s relentless focus on the importance of hard work, earning money and contributing to the London economy unconsciously reinforces capitalist ideology.
-This fetishization of the working class is relatively common in the creative industries and perhaps suggests the producers are deliberately encoding a pro-left-wing bias.

5) Finally, identify three things you need to revise for Media Paper 2 before your next assessment or mock exam.

I need to revise gender conventions and stereotypes, Stuart Halls theories and  the television CSP's.

  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.
