Exam paper 2 LR


WWW:  Good examples used. Good approach although you spiral a lot into other things

EBI: Fix handwriting more, better structure of answers. More theorists which bring further depth to your answer. More genre codes and conventional limit oppositional readings.

2) Read the mark scheme for this exam carefully, paying particular attention to the 'indicative content' for each question. Firstly, focus on the unseen question and identify two aspects of the poster that you could have written about in your answer.

- the visual codes and iconography of the image including colour and setting as it relates to
the thriller/horror/supernatural etc genre (isolated setting, low key lighting, blue hue)

- the use of props to denote the narrative and genre elements

3) Look at the indicative content for Q1 again and make a note of any theories or examples of media terminology you could have used in your answer.

- Propp character theory ( E.G the villain, the hero, the false hero and the donor)

4) Now focus on the TV 25-marker. Read this exemplar response for the TV question and pick out three arguments, phrases or theories from the essay that you could use in a future question on Capital and Deutschland 83.

- It generally met with a positive critical reception but provides evidence of the validity of Hall’s theory through the political debate it sparked in British media.

- However, to take an oppositional view of Capital, could it also be argued that the programme
unconsciously promotes a right-wing, capitalist ideology?

- D83 is another text that provides a compelling argument for the validity of Hall’s Reception theory.
Interestingly, D83 is a text

5) Finally, identify three things you need to revise for Media Paper 2 before your next assessment or mock exam.

- the recognition that different audiences interpret media forms differently challenges
the assumption of ‘common sense’ or obvious interpretations

- the usefulness of the theory may be questioned in the context of audience agency –
how free is the audience to question/read against the grain/resist messages?

- might the meanings of media products be deliberately ambiguous? What might be
some of the reasons for this? Is what I should revise for my next assessment or mock exam.

TV: Capital - Marxism and Hegemony

 Q1: It paints the immigrant in a good light and as hard-working resilient and strong making us feel sympathetic for the Quintina. Conservatives don't really like illegal immigrants so it is far left. Q2: " The hardest worker on the street was an illegal immigrant" I agree she truly was working the hardest and due to that we felt more compelled by her story rather than others." Capital started with an intriguing idea" I also agree the concept was cool seeing all these different POVs was interesting, especially with all their reactions to the ominous cards. Q3: The cards saying we want you to directly oppose the capitalistic standards, and support the far-left ideology. Q4:  The banker and his co-worker believe that the more hard and profitable work you do the more money you shall earn no matter how unfair it is. Q5: Marxist approaches to power  focus on its relation to class domination in capitalist societies . Q6: T he Apprentice features many characters and pl

TV: Capital case study 1 AND 2

 Q1: It's realism and cultural diversity that spans each episode it's very true to London life as well as the life of the working class and upper class the rich and poor and their beliefs and struggles that seem tame compared to each other Q2: The heavy reference to immigration. As the years pass in Britain immigration has heavily increased due to wars and asylum seekers many people blame them for the country's heavy increase in house prices "Capital" uses that to show how hostile and dangerous certain places can be due to these apparent issues and how anti-immigration regardless of who it is the main "perpetrator" Q3: At the beginning of the episode we see an extreme long shot of the city in the dark. Sirens paraded around as if to suggest that crime is ridden across the city. It shows the gritty and unnerving part of London Q4:  We see a variety of characters each facing their own dilemmas within their classes the poor focused on feeding their families

In this video i implement many techniques but first opening the scene i bring out a main character who's concentrated on his phone he then turns it off and moves to open the door which  is one of the conventions that the video had to have.He is then shot from a camera in the back and we see him looking at something TENSE music is played which is diagetic music and parallel to the scene the music abruptly  ends and a character with a puffy jacket walks in and starts conversing with the other character i use different shots in between the scenes from middle shot to a close up in order to hide the actors and only show one at a time this is to of course show that i am speaking to something as i was the only actor who had acted out two different people.We then see i then use a reverse shot from the side sneakily portraying the character without showing his full body as he was the cameraman i brazenly acted out as a easily angered and frustrating individual which the other character is a
