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

Print brief research and planning

Brief Print You should create  four pages from a music magazine  – specifically: a  front cover  featuring the artist/band promoted in Task One a  two-page interview  with the artist/band one page with  content relevant to the magazine  and the target audience. The magazine targets a  mainstream music audience . The front cover and interview can use some images from the same photoshoot but other original images should also be used that offer some visual variety. The interview should be used to promote the tour and the music track. It should also reinforce the brand image of the artist/band and integrate some reference to the footwear manufacturers who are sponsoring the band/artist. What do you need to produce? 1) The front page (A4 portrait) for a new, original music magazine aimed at a mainstream audience that you have created: Title and masthead - DY (Discordant Youth) Selling line (slogan) - ( Rising star/Revolutionising what it means to ...

Rough draft feedback

Estimated current grade: C   Comments & feedback:   There are some very nice moments here – the artist branding is excellent (in fact, you should make more of it!) and the narrative/performance crossover basically works. Some of the performance shots are really good and the simple narrative is satisfying. The challenge now is to look over the structure of the three minutes and also think about whether it’s worth shooting or re-shooting any of the sections. You have a shot of the Converse shoes (very briefly) but I wonder if that element of the brief is something you could make more of? Is there any way you could tie it into the narrative at all? The performance element – the close-ups and moving camera are good but the wide shot with the backdrop not covering the whole shot. Deliberate?  Lip syncing (and guitar syncing) is not quite on it – is that a performance or editing thing? This wil...
