Media assessment 2 learner response

 1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep it confidential).
WWW: Kaye, top responses for Q1 + 2 very clearly answered - shows good knowledge + understanding but equally detailed blog work - well done!

2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully (this has been posted to your exam teacher's Google Classroom). Identify at least one potential point that you missed out on for each question in the assessment.

The British flag (Union Jack) constructs a meaning of Great Britain, traditional power and the monarchy. For some audiences, it will also offer connotations of Stormzy’s place as a British cultural icon as it reflects the Union Jack stab-proof vest (designed by artist Banksy) that Stormzy wore for his Glastonbury appearance in 2019.


3) On a scale of 1-10 (1 = low, 10 = high), how much revision and preparation did you do for this assessment? You may also want to think here whether you had completed all the original blog tasks from last term before doing the assessment.

4) Look at your answer for Question 2. Did you manage to write about three different strategiesand three different benefits? It's vital you read the question and follow it exactly.
Yes

5) Look at your answer for Question 3. Did you follow the question guidance and write about both the BBC and commercial broadcasters? What could you have added to this answer to reach a higher mark?
I managed to follow the question guidance for question 3, but was not able to write about commercial broadcasters. To reach a higher mark, I could have talked about both BBC and commercial broadcasters.

6) Now look over your mark, teacher comments and the mark scheme for Question 4 - the 20 mark essay question on media effects theory. Write a new paragraph for this question based on the suggested theories/answers in the mark scheme. Make sure it is an extensive, detailed paragraph focused on the question and offering examples from the wider media.
One view that the media could have a damaging effect on audiences is through Bandura’s Bobo doll. This is because Bandura was able to show the effects of exposing children to contents that are not suitable for their age. This result in the children being aggressive towards the Bobo doll because they think that it is how they’re supposed to act towards the bobo doll due to unwanted exposure. For example, a 9 year old boy watched the movie Chucky, which led to his action copying Chucky’s which causes the boy to murder a toddler. This shows that children being exposed to violence could lead to violent actions which can harm the people around them. This could also lead to children gaining a different perspective of how things should work especially at an early age due to development. This could be applied to the media having a damaging affect to audiences in the modern society because there are a lot of contents that’s been leaked through illegal websites as well as apps such as TikTok and Instagram, that audiences are not meant to see.

Genre blog tasks

Read  Media Factsheet 03 - Genre: Categorising texts  and answer the following questions:   1) What example is provided of why visual iconographies are so important? An example that is provided why visual iconographies are so important is the genre of broadcast where if a person is sitting behind a desk it doesn't indicate genre but when added high-key lighting, modern mise-en-scene and a screen behind the character this then indicates that the genre is about broadcast.  2) What examples are provided of the importance of narrative in identifying genre? An example that is provided to show the importance of narrative in identifying genre is the soap opera where it is usual to see one of the story lines to follow a family having trouble with their boss at work, where this type of story could come up in a sit-com genre where there could be a humour situation to, but the way that the story is structured and dealt with is different.  3) What are the different ways fil...

  Read  Media Factsheet 14 - Telling Stories: The Media's Use of Narrative  and answer the following questions: 1) Give an example from film or television that uses Todorov's narrative structure of equilibrium, disequilibrium and new equilibrium.  An example from film or television that uses Todorov's narrative structure is Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit.  2) Complete the activity on page 1 of the Factsheet: find a clip on YouTube of the opening of a new TV drama series (season 1, episode 1). Embed the clip in your blog and write an analysis of the narrative markers that help establish setting, character and plot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sNu11Om7lg The use of the frame as props for each of the characters shows how the design seems very elegant and old fashioned which could suggest how the story may be in a middle class perspective. Also, it shows how setting seems very dark during the opening titles which could give an idea...
