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).

A.

Q1 - EBI - Pastiche included

Q2 - WWW - link to audience theory

EBI - better grasp on D83 ideological ideas

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) Samuel L. Jackon’s image nods to both Tarantino films.

2) the construction of representation through the narrative conventions of enigma and

suspense is highly artificial, making it very difficult to read the programmes as

representations of reality

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

Bricolage:  Texts constructed from debris of other texts.
Pastiche: When the pastiche: media products that imitate the style of another text, artist or time period.

Intertextuality: Reference to another text within a text.

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: 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: Perhaps both of these shows are deliberately constructing a range of possible readings to reflect modern social, cultural and political contexts.

d) examples from the TV CSPs: ‘99 luftballons’

e) use of media terminology: dominant ideology

  

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

Work on time management which is arguably my biggest weakness.
