Assessment LRs

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: some good detail about context in Question 2.
EBI: You MUST attempt every question - just do a textural analysis if unsure.

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).

I just have to make sure I answer all the questions in the paper, plus make sure my context is tighter.

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. Texts borrow things from a variety of different texts to form something new.
  • Pastiche: Essentially another fancy word for parody.
  • Intertextuality: when the conventions of one genre are alluded to in another, or when a specific cultural reference is made in a media 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

b) use of media theory

c) a judgement or conclusion on the question

d) examples from the TV CSPs

e) use of media terminology 

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

Revising more context, practising my timing, and making sure everything everything I know is tight and fresh.

TV: Industry Contexts

    Independent: British viewers can't get enough of foreign-language dramas: 1)  What does the article suggest regarding the traditional audience for foreign-language subtitled media? "Fifteen years ago, if you'd mentioned to a colleague that you'd spent Saturday night glued to a subtitled European drama, you'd have been quietly declared pretentious, dull and, possibly, a little odd. Skip to today and foreign-language dramas aren't even on-trend, they're fully mainstream. Now we are as likely to discuss the latest Danish thriller over a morning flat white at our desks as we are a new season on HBO." 2) What does Walter Iuzzolino suggest is the key appeal of his 'Walter Presents' shows? "The channels were "restaurants who had put a special on the board". Walter Presents makes the specials board the main offering – so you can't play safe with the televisual equivalent of a cottage pie." 3) The article makes an interesting

Practical Study Task

TV crime drama extract 1:  Narrative and genre How is the narrative and the crime drama genre communicated to the audience? Crime Drama referenced : Mr  Inbetween (Season 2 Episode 9 'Ray Kills the Pedophiles) -Its very clear a kidnapping has taken place at the store, even though we don't see it we know it's happened as there's a shift in tone right after Ray's daughter's friend has been kidnapped and when we see it happen from the CCTV back up. This serves as the beginning. We then follow Ray and his daughter as he visits his friends who also are involved with things like cybercrime, and it's through this where he's able to find out who the kidnapper is. This serves as the Middle. Ray travels on his own to the location as stated by the address, he then breaks into the house where discovers that multiple people have been lured to the basement - children to adults. He the manages to free the kidnapped and locks the aggressors in that same basement. It the

  Wider reading on race and Old Town Road Read this W Magazine deep dive on the Yeehaw agenda and answer the following questions:  1) What are the visual cues the article lists as linked to the western genre?  Cowboy hats, cow prints, rhinestones, and fringed suede jackets. 2) How did the Yeehaw agenda come about?  In September 2018, the trend of black pop-culture figures wearing cowboy garb was dubbed the “Yeehaw Agenda” by Bri Malandro, a Texas-based pop-culture archivist. 3) Why has it been suggested that the black cowboy has been 'erased from American culture'?  "The imagery associated with Americana has been overwhelmingly white, so much so that the Studio Museum in Harlem even held a “Black Cowboy” exhibition two years ago, featuring photographic works from Kahlil Joseph, Deanna Lawson, and Chandra McCormick that aimed to bring the black cowboy to the forefront of western history." 4) How has the black cowboy aesthetic been reflected by the fashion industry? &qu
