TV ASSESSMENT LR

-

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: clear writing with some good examples
EBI: more focus on the question - what are the cultural and political contexts.

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).

- The poster is an excellent example of bricolage: the juxtaposing of old and new texts,
images, ideas and narratives to create new meanings.

- the way events, issues, individuals (including self-representation) and social groups
(including social identity) are represented through processes of selection and combination


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

Bricolage:construction or creation from a diverse range of available things.
Pastiche:an artistic work in a style that imitates that of another work, artist, or period.
Intertextuality:the relationship between texts, especially literary ones.

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

Capital is a state-of-the-nation drama and this genre immediately gives it an urgency and realism that reflect the political and cultural contexts of its setting. 


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


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.


d) examples from the TV CSPs

(Roger and his boss Lothar presented as clueless in their meeting with the young upstart Mark) 

e) use of media terminology 

 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.

terminology, evidence and focus on the question.
