Media assessment 2: learner response

 

Media assessment 2: learner response

Well done on completing your latest Media assessment - the more we practice these kind of questions the more confident we'll be in the exams next year.

The first part of your learner response is to look carefully at your mark, grade and comments from your teacher. If anything doesn't make sense, ask your teacher - that's why we're here! 

Your learner response is as follows:

Create a new blog post called 'Media assessment 2 learner response' and complete the following tasks:

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: Your blog work has improved recently so now we need to make sure we are learning the information and can write about it in exams. 
EBI: Revise terminology and theory :
- Reception theory
- Industry terminology
- Film industry
- Revise Black Widow + I, Daniel Blake - you don't mention either in Qb and that is a 20-mark essay. 
2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully (you'll need your Greenford Google login to access this). Write down the mark you achieved for each question:

Q1:0
Q2:0
Q3:2
Q4:0
Q5:0
Q6:1

Where you didn't achieve full marks, write WHY you think you missed out on the extra marks. Use the indicative content suggestions in the mark scheme to help with this. If you got any media terminology wrong in the assessment you can make a note of it here.
I think I missed quite a few marks on question Q.3 as I didn't use enough media terminology to further explain my answer more efficiently.

3) Look specifically at question 3 - did you successfully write about both the preferred and oppositional readings? Did your answers match any in the mark scheme? Copy in one answer from the mark scheme that you could have used.
This is an empowering image as she is looking directly at the target
audience (women) with a strong face so they can relate to her power and
resilience and aspire to be similar / mobilise into action.

4) Now look at question 4. Write a definition of vertical integration plus the benefits of it listed in the mark scheme to revise this key industry terminology. You may find the blogpost on ownership and control helpful here.
Vertical integration is when one conglomerate owns different companies in the same chain of production. Complete ownership=more profit.
• Greater control over every stage of the production (1)
• Increasing profit (1)
• Having complete ownership over creative products (1)

5) Finally, look at your 20-mark essay - question 6. Read this exemplar answer to help give you an idea of what a top-level response looks like. Then, write five points from either the exemplar answer or the mark scheme that you could have used in your answer. This will be excellent revision for a future film industry exam question. 
-Excellent understanding of both the theoretical framework
and the influence of contexts, demonstrated by consistently
effective discussion of the extent to which low
budget/independent film productions cannot compete with
Hollywood blockbusters.
- Excellent, astute judgements and conclusions that are
consistently well supported by relevant examples.
- Consistent appropriate and effective use of subject specific
terminology throughout.
-Good understanding of both the theoretical framework and
the influence of contexts, demonstrated by frequent effective

Why did you score lower on this particular question? Use the mark scheme to help you with t...

Media blog feedback and learner response

  TOUMA, Georgio   Full Name Blog set up and URL provided Introductory 10 Qs Denotation & Connotation x2 Fruit bowl Mise-en-scene: Stranger Things Blog marking LR TOUMA, Georgio   WWW: You have made a very positive start in GCSE Media – well done! Your fruit bowl is superb – I really like the image you’ve used as the base to your colour palette and it’s given you a very interesting take on the ‘urban’ palette. Keep up the good work!     EBI:  One thing to address – you have missed the second half of the denotation and connotation work. You’ve analysed the Water Aid advert but then needed to choose an advert of your own to analyse. Go back and finish this when you get a moment and we can update your tracker to green.   The key aspect to work on if we want to aim for the higher grades is depth and detail in our written work – for example, the ‘connotation’ and ‘analysis’ paragraphs for denotation and connotation. Aim for an extended paragraph an...

Audience effects theory: blog tasks

QUESTIONS   1) Write a definition of a   passive  audience:  This is the view that audiences passively   take in information from the media and that these messages have the same effect on everyone. 2)  Write a definition of an  active  audience:  This is the more modern and generally accepted view that audiences interact   with and make conscious choices regarding the media they consume. 3) Write a definition of the  hypodermic needle  theory:  This is the suggestion that audiences are always passive  and therefore take the intended message from the producer as if it was injected into their minds. This assumes no individual difference in audience members.  4) Write down a  media product  (e.g. TV show, newspaper or videogame)   for each category of Blumler and Katz's Uses and Gratifications theory and  WHY  it fits that particular audience use/gratification. The first one is done for you:...
