Media Paper 2 learner response

-

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

Need more detailed analysis of text. E.g the different teen stereotypes


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.

1.As Mr Halsey stated I should have focused more on teen stereotypes so I could have said the use of costume and props to construct teen stereotypes (leather/biker jacket, cat ears,
red dress)

2.How media producers target, attract, reach, address and potentially construct audience


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

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. Roger, the upper-middle-class banker is presented largely negatively, famously proclaiming “What use is 30 grand to anyone?”

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.

In two key party/BBQ scenes, the East is portrayed as joyous and relaxed through Martin’s mother’s
birthday party while General Edel’s BBQ in the West towards the end of the episode is awkward,
tense and unwelcoming. This fetishisation 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.

-How to structure a good 25 mark essay properly rather than writing in random areas.
-Exam practice skills to in depth with things rather than just saying teen serotypes to actually go in-depth
- Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony

Sound analysis: blog tasks

-
  1) Find a film clip on YouTube that uses sound in an interesting way. Analyse the use of sound, making sure you use the key language we have learned about sound in film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClfDIu7C8SM Diegetic and non-diegetic sound Parallel and contrapuntal sound Sound bridges Remember to discuss/analyse all the different types of sound present in the clip: Music Dialogue Voiceover Sound effects Within  this short clip of Stranger Things, there is diegetic sound of the female character breathing, this is significant as it is the only diegetic sound and focuses the attention of the viewers on to her breathing suggesting that she is could be frightened by the situation she is in. Also, the non diegetic sound of the tearing and the beating sound sort of like a heart beat of a living being again focuses the viewers attention on the sound because it was very loud and repetitive. These sounds are parallel to the clip because it suits the narrative but also contributes to the

Statement of Intent feedback and learner response

-
 Comments for AQA:   This is the beginning of a good statement of intent with clear potential to reach the higher levels if it were complete with added clarity/detail. There is a strong concept here which is clearly well thought out. The statement offers a concept that largely meets the brief but currently doesn’t address the print aspect.  Industry element is a real strength with discussion of a small independent record company. However, lacking reference to digital convergence for the higher levels. Media language elements addressed in places with reference to shots and elements of mise-en-scene but lacking the detail or explanation required for the top levels. Print brief element lacking – statement unfinished. Similarly, very little on how representations will be created. This is a key area holding this back from the higher levels. Audience element stronger early on but later seems unfinished.   Feedback:

Film poster analysis

  .BLADE RUNNER ANALYSIS    I think that this film is a sci-fi film due to the use of the colour scheme and the props. The use of the colours like white and green and a little bit of blue suggests that the film is going to be about a powerful man who is trying to save the world  from something evil(maybe aliens). The use of the close up shot of what looks like the main character can imply how he's going to be the main protagonist of the film and the person we see the film through (his perspective) That shot can also communicate his facial expressions to the audience as he looks a little distressed(due to him sweating) but ready to taken on whatever is on his way. He looks powerful. This perfectly enhances the stereotype of men being strong and powerful. He looks like hes doing a great job at what he's doing ,due to him sweating it illustrates to us an audience  that he's putting his blood, sweat and tears in.This movie seems to be set in 1980's. I can clearly see this i
