Feedback

 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-this is a solid assessment with three answers in the mid-level of the mark scheme. You show good focus on the texts so now need to work on exam technique to open up the higher levels/grades.

EBI-More narrative theory and adding genre theory would halp with Q1 and Q3. for Q2 we will work on social and


2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Identify at least one potential point that you missed out on for each question in the assessment.
Q1) Excellent and judicious use of the theoretical framework (media language &
narrative theory) To analyse how poster uses narrative codes.
Q2)Excellent and accurate understanding of the theoretical framework that is demonstrated by consistently appropriate explanation of the connotations in the products.



3) Read this exemplar response from a previous Year 12 (an A grade) - note this was a slightly different paper in terms of the question wording and also had an additional question 4 (we've updated it to better reflect recent exams). Identify at least one potential point for questions 1-3 from this student's paper that you could have mentioned in your assessment. 
Q1) I could have had used Named theorists to solidify my points such as Todorov of Barthes.
Q2) I could have said that in both the producers used them both (two young males) as the central image.
Q3) I could have added genre theory.

4) Did you get any media terminology or theory wrong in the assessment? Make a note of it here for future revision, including theories/terminology that you could have used but didn't.
I didn't get any theories wrong as I forgot most of them so I didn't use them, that is something i will focus on next time.


5) Identify your weakest question and write three bullet points that would improve on your original response. Use the mark scheme and exemplar paper to identify these points - particularly focusing on the anticipated content and the top level descriptors.

Question 2, the 12 marker, was my weakest question I got the least marks on it relative to the marks available(41.6%).

MIGRAIN: Feminist theory

  1) What examples are provided from the two texts of the 'male gaze' (Mulvey)?  Pan Am and Beyonce.  2) Do texts such as these show there is no longer a need for feminism or are they simply sexism in a different form? Texts such as these show that there is a no longer a need for feminism due to the representation of women being independent and working in jobs that are aspirational to some of their audiences however, these texts are mainly sexism in a different form as in Pan Am we still see the sexualisation and reinforcement of the male gaze. 3) Choose three words/phrases from the glossary of the article and write their definitions on your blog. Patriarchy- man have all the power in the society Nostalgia- a feeling of the past that you would like to relive/re feel Feminism- a moment of where women strives for equality and right. Now read  The Theory Drop: Gender Performativity   ( MM69 , page 25) and answer the following questions. 1) How does t...

MIGRAIN: Introduction to Representation

  1) Why is representation an important concept in Media Studies? Representation create meaning,  Representation is key because it shapes how we see the world and ourselves. 2) How does the example of Kate Middleton show the way different meanings can be created in the media? The media can portray her in so many ways: as a fashion icon, a royal, or a mom. 3) Summarise the section 'The how, who and why of media representation' in 50 words. All media products have a specific function which will impact on the representations they construct. Producers will consider: • the expectations and needs of the target audience • the limitations provided by genre codes • the type of narrative they wish to create • their institutional remit. 4) How does Stuart Hall's theory of preferred and oppositional readings fit with representation? This theory suggests that the way people or groups are shown in the media isn't always taken at face value by the audience. People bring their own expe...
