Media paper 2 Mock

-

 1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to). 


WWW: A good grasp of the theory.

EBI: Consider how different audiences responded to D83.

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 use of props to denote the narrative and genre elements
• The use of costume and props to construct teen stereotypes (leather/biker jacket, cat ears,
red dress)

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.

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

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.

-The Daily Mail’s review of capital described it as ‘more packed with left-wing causes than Jeremy Corbyn’s diary’ which suggests a preferred reading that is left-wing and socialist. Indeed, an analysis of characters and representations supports this idea of producers promoting a ‘woke’, left-wing agenda.

-Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony is relevant here as it could be argued that Capital’s relentless focus on the importance of hard work, earning money and contributing to the London economy unconsciously reinforces capitalist ideology.

-This fetishization of the working class is relatively common in the creative industries and perhaps suggests the producers are deliberately encoding a pro-left-wing bias.

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

Genre conventions and stereotypes, theories and the CSP's.

750 word Blog Analysis  The shootout takes place on the streets of Los Angeles between a crew of professional bank robbers led by Neil McClary and the LAPD led by Lieutenant Vincent Hennen. This scene is a most across in tension building and realism. Mann’s direction focuses on realism emphasising the tactics and strategies used by both the police under criminals the use of high-powered firearms, the echoes of gun fires and the tragic positioning of the characters create a suspense experience for the audience. This film also uses enigma codes to create mystery. This scene is very technical as Mann uses long shots and wide shots to immerse the audience in the chaos of the fire fight the absence of the music enhances the sound of gunfire and sirens which causes the audience to feel the atmosphere and the city itself becoming the soundtrack. The setting of the downtown Los Angeles adds to the intensity of the scene the sprawling urban landscape becomes a character influencing th...
