 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).

WWW- This is an important lesson in the knowledge and work required at A-level

EBI- Revise postmodernism for Q1. You also need to write a lot more for the unseen question.

- Q2 needs a lot more for a 25 marker. This is bot CSP knowledge and question focus

- Handwritng 

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. There are many examples of intertextuality: the main central image suggests a bridge

between James Bond and Austin Powers (bond parody) with Tower Bridge in the background

reinforcing London as a location.

2. genres are dynamic and change to represent the concerns of the society which produces

them

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

Bricolage: focused on explaining how entrepreneurship emerges in economically depressed, or resource-poor areas

Pastiche:It is a style which is a tongue-in-cheek light-hearted imitation of another's style which unlike a parody is respectful.

Intertextuality: when one text references another

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

• The Daily Mail heavily criticised Capital for featuring ‘more left wing causes than a Jeremy Corbyn’s diary’ 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

• In conclusion, it is impossible to ignore the ideological positions constructed by television dramas and Capital and D83 are no exception to this. However, it could be argued that different audiences can read these fictional genres in different ways depending on their own perspectives and therefore social, cultural and political contexts are not the only aspect to this process.

d) examples from the TV CSPs

• In Deutschland 83 (D83), the historical drama / spy thriller genre.

e) use of media terminology 

• reinforced through the construction of the narrative and key elements of mise-en-scene.

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

I need to revise deutchland 83, postmodernism and theories.
