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 a superb assessment showing excellent knowledge of terminology and CSP's. Keep up the outstanding work. 

EBI: Handwriting - I had to re-read quite a few sentences and we cant be sure that the examiner will take the time in the real thing.

In Q2, a little more focus on genre needed for a top level and perhaps more theory too. Postmodernism could have touched on or more hegemony.

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. N/A
  • 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: The juxtaposing of old and new texts, images, ideas and narratives to create new meanings.

Pastiche: This refers to media products that imitate the style of another text, artist or time period. Pastiche is an example of intertextuality and takes a positive view of the original source.

Intertextuality:  a concept that refers to the interdependent relationship of texts due to shared or similar aspects, such as themes, images, icons, or narrative structure.


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

'more left-wing causes than Jeremy Corbyn's diary'

b) use of media theory

applying Gramsci's theory of hegemony

c) a judgement or conclusion on the question

impossible to ignore ideological positions constructed by tv dramas

d) examples from the TV CSPs

Bogdan the eastern European worker being shown sleeping at work

e) use of media terminology 

dominant or preferred reading

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

  • 1. I need to revise my genre terminology and theories
  • 2. I need to work on bettering my knowledge of Postmodern terms and theories
  • 3. I need to improve my spelling

Independent: British viewers can't get enough of foreign-language dramas Read this  Independent feature on foreign-language dramas . If the website is blocked or forcing you to register  you can access the text of the article here . It features an in-depth interview with Walter Iuzzolino who curates Channel 4's Walter Presents programming. Answer the questions below: 1) What does the article suggest regarding the traditional audience for foreign-language subtitled media? Fifteen years ago, if you'd mentioned to a colleague that you'd spent Saturday night glued to a subtitled European drama, you'd have been quietly declared pretentious, dull and, possibly, a little odd.Skip to today and foreign-language dramas aren't even on-trend, they're fully mainstream. Now we are as likely to discuss the latest Danish thriller over a morning flat white at our desks as we are a new season on HBO. 2) What does Walter Iuzzolino suggest is the key appeal of his 'Walter P...
