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).

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).

1.The increasingly blurred nature of film genres in the contemporary media landscape. Sequels

and parodies often offer intertextual references and audience pleasures linked to

recognition of other films, franchises, genres or stars. Possible theories: Steve Neale –

similarity and difference; Schatz – genres are dynamic and go through cycles. Kingsman: The

Secret Service suggests the parody or deconstruction stages – where genres are

experimented with to establish new or different conventions.

2.The contexts of production are more important and influential than any intent of the

‘authors’ as it is impossible for the individual to transcend social and cultural contexts

and Television drama is powerfully influenced by dominant social and cultural attitudes to e.g.

ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality

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

Bricolage: The juxtaposing of old and new texts, image, ideas and narratives to create new meaning. 
Pastiche: This refers to media products that imitate the style of another text, artist or time period. 

Intertextuality: When one media text references to another media text- through genres, conventions, mis-en-scene or specific cultural references. 

4) Look over your mark, teacher comments and the mark scheme for Question 2 - the 25 mark essay question on your TV Close-Study Products. Write a complete essay plan for this question based on the suggested answers in the mark scheme. You can either use something similar to your actual answer or alternatively start from scratch. Make sure it is an extensive, detailed plan focused on the question (representations; social and cultural contexts of production) and offering specific references to Capital and Deutschland 83 for each section.

P1 = Suggest the extent to which the CSP reflects the social and cultural context in which they were produced.

Explain my reasoning.

P2 = Provide context to my argument.

P3 = Provide evidence to my back up my argument and context.

P4 = Provide an alternative view/perspective.

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

-Bricolage , Pastiche and Intertextuality.

- Overall a well structured 25 mark essay.
