MIGRAIN 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: fair attempt Tharnika,you are able to respond to the Qs in this paper with some sustained points and fair,satisfactory analysis.

EBI:Not enough close, detailed analysis e.g. Q1-analysis of film poster.Also reference further genre theories for Q3.

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.
QUESTION 1:Good use of the theoretical framework (media language & narrative theory) to
analyse how poster uses narrative codes and Todorov disequilibrium theory. 

QUESTION 2:understanding of the influences of the social and cultural contexts on media products that is usually supported by mostly appropriate and effective reference to the set products and British culture 

QUESTION 3:of the influences of genre on media audiences and industries and money.
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. 

QUESTION 1:i could have linked it to Todorov and Barthes study as it links to the question(key elements of narrative theory)

QUESTION 2:talking about the dark and light environment 

QUESTION 3:Abercromie theory;"media producers set out to exploit genre conventions it makes sound economic sense.

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.
Barthes-sighnifier which means the thing that does the communication and sighnified which means what is being communicated.
Todorov-all narratives contain equilibrium, disequilibrium, recognition, resolution, and new equilibrium.
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.
My weakest question was question 2.i should have focused more on the question itself and used theory to support my answer or example,Ferdinand de Saussure as he talks about Polysemic and etc.i should use more media terminology and also talked about the British culture an dominant ideologies.

Reception theory

  Part 1) Applying Reception theory to adverts Look back at the adverts you have been analysing in  last week's lessons on Reading an Image and media codes  (RBK 50 Cent and one of your choice).  1) What are the preferred, negotiated and oppositional readings for the RBK 50 Cent advert?  Preferred-The preferred reading of this advert is that Reebok is a understanding and non-judgemental brand which accepts people for who they are and don't judge people based on there past and see people for there individual personality as they are a growing brand that encourages people to be themselves.  Negotiated-Some people may get confused to what the advert is about as it looks like the advert is mainly about 50 cent;this is because the brand Reebok is only shown on the bottom which isn't that big,Some people may not see the logo promoting Reebok as they may just scan through the advert as its not obvious the add is for Reebok.

The example provided is, HBO’s Pan Am and Beyoncé’s and music video for ‘Why Don’t You Love Me’. 2) Do texts such as these show there is no longer a need for feminism or are they simply sexism in a different form? It suggest there a re still sexism as females are still presented differently compared to men. 3) Choose three words/phrases from the glossary of the article and write their definitions on your blog. Feminism – A movement aimed at defining,  establishing, and defending women’s rights  and equality to men. Post-feminism – An ideology in culture
