Media paper 2 learner response

 1) WWW- This is a tricky one to mark- You've made some brilliant points but also missed out large chunks of what you need to cover. Hopefully some work on exam technique you should be looking at the top levels. 

EBI: In both questions what you have written is very good but it just stops when it should be getting started! Is timing an issue? Would planning help? is it worth looking into extra time? You must cover both CSPS the lack of D83 holds you back you are discussing some high level ideas but are stuck at the lower levels. (also revise hegemony)

2) Two aspects i could have used for the unseen question.

  1. The use of costume and props to construct teen stereotypes (leather/biker jacket, cat ears etc)
  2. The link between genre and stereotypes- The representation of victim in the thriller/crime drama.
3)Some of the terminology i could use is: Iconography-uses of images and symbols to create meaning. 

4) Three arguements i could have used are:
  1. D83 provides a compelling argument for Stuart Halls theory as its reception is very different in Germany in comparison globally. Germany disliked the TV drama while its loved globally.
  2. Just like Capital, D83 can also be called left wing due to its portrayal of social classes from the east and west sides of Germany.
  3. The key question is whether the producers have deliberately encoded these values in there judgements.
5) I need to revise more on D83, Capital and practice more on my timing in general.

Blog Feedback

  WWW: You started really well with the film poster analysis and your mise-en-scene analysis tasks. I really like the choice of still image to analyse and you’ve also picked out some good elements of the mise-en-scene in the Get Out scene. You’ve written in some detail for those first two blog tasks and that’s something you want to continue and build on as the course develops because A Level is a very demanding standard. EBI: The isolation and illness going around this half-term have made things very tricky but it’s now crucial that we get back on top of the workload because constantly being behind makes for a tough year. You are missing four pieces on the coursework side but I’m confident you’ll be able to catch those up over half-term. Remember, for the mise-en-scene recreation you can now simply submit detailed planning rather than the full video. In terms of your analysis work, the key feedback is regarding the depth and detail required at A Level – just as you demonstrate in your

Sound Analysis

Image
1)  Clockwork Orange-  The music choice isn't what I would expect from this type of scene from that movie with all the chaos going on around it as the guy hits them all into the water and holds a knife. I believe the director chose this music to show us what hes thinking not just from there internal monologue but through non diagetic sound. The characters mind sees his actions as methodical and planned so everything going on is within his control.   Funny Games- At the beginning the music seems to be parallel to whats going on in the scene with a nice calm and classic song maybe trying to show that the family is just your everyday normal group of people. Then near the middle the music takes a drastic shift and becomes contrapuntel to whats going on. The director might be trying to say that underneath the façade of them being normal they're lives are in constant chaos. The 2nd music was loud and a obnoxious. The narrative might delve into how a stereotypical family would react t
