October assesment LR

-

 Feedback: 

WWW: This is a very good assessment with the potential to go even higher. Excellent media language analysis and clear knowledge of the CSPs. Keep this up!

EBI: A very specific area to focus on : social class in Britain and in particular social/cultural contexts for magazines. Revise these areas and you will be looking at a grade 8/9.


2) Look at Question 3 in the assessment - the media analysis of the Under Armour advert.

C - Costume: The player is wearing red and black rugby kit which has connotations of passion because of the Red.

L - Lighting: The stadium floodlights tell the audience all the attention is you when wearing under armour.

A - Actor placement and movement: The rugby player is pushing a tire showing hes very strong. The player's face shows hes screaming when pushing the tire, connoting the strength it takes to push will make you scream.

M - Make up: The player's face is shining under the lights which connotes that his face SHINES showing how healthy people are when wearing under armour and working out.

S - Setting: the stadium setting suggests to the audience that when wearing under armour you've got the attention of hundreds.



3) Look at Question 4. What is Todorov's theory of equilibrium? How does it link to the Audrey Hepburn Galaxy advert?

Todorvs theory of equilibrium is a theory that every narrative has a equilibrium a disruption and a new equilibrium. For example it links to the galaxy advert because the equilibrium is that Audrey is on the bus on the way somewhere. The disruption is that the bus cant pass because of a stall that's fallen over on the small road. The new equilibrium is that a kind man comes up and offers a ride which she takes.

4) What social class is Reveal aimed at?

Its aimed at lower-middle class people because its cheap and has all the hot new GOSSIP about celebrities.

5) Pick three cover lines from Tatler that reflect upper class British culture and society. Explain what they suggest about the lifestyle and beliefs of upper class British people.

'MOST INVITED 2017' appeals to the socialites who spend a lot of time going to posh parties and events.

'THE ONE MONTH GAP YEAR' appeals to young wealthy people who are thinking of time to travel.

'THE NEW POSH- Rules for the 21st century.' This gives up and coming high class people an idea about what they should be doing and helps to create an elite behaviour.

Industry and audience power essay

As a result of the internet I think audiences have a stronger power to some extent than they used to but also the industries have some power due to producing whereas audience really controls the sales and viewing rates of the media product. In my opinion the internet definitely makes the audience way more powerful than 20 years ago. The changes in the music industries have had a drastic change for audiences, some of the changes include; streaming applications, for example spotify, YouTube, music and soundclound these streaming devices have increased the easier abilities for audiences to listen to music which also increase the rate of views on music to. Another change on music industries is that the music is now global so everyone In the world can listen to music for free however in the older days you had to but CDs and records or listen to the radio and they did not have online statistics for the popularity of the music. Now also the streaming apps have subscriptions where you have to

Statement of Intent feedback and LR

  Current mark: 5 Approximate grade: 5 WWW: This is a clear statement of intent with a good idea for a TV drama sequence that meets the science fiction/fantasy genre brief. There are some nice creative touches and a clear understanding shown of target audience. Specific reference to media language and representation holds this back from the upper levels. EBI: There’s a little too much narrative development – keep this to just a sentence or two so you are not using too many words on description. The biggest issue is a lack of specific media language planning – you say what shots you plan to film but not why you will do it and the effect this will have on the audience. You need to use terminology and discuss the connotations of the media language choices you are planning. The main areas to do this are the camera shots, mise-en-scene, sound or editing (write about specific camera shots you will use and what they will communicate to the audience, specific aspects of mise-en-scene in detail

Reception theory

 1) A preferred reading of a text is the mindset the producers want you to take away from the piece of media that they are showcasing to you. 2) The oppositional reading is the mindset the producers don't want you to take away from the piece of media, basically the opposite of a preferred reading. It is also the reading when people disagree with the advert and preferred reading. 3) In the trailer Harry Brown want the audience to feel like the teens are a threat and dangerous, he wants the audience to feel as if the teens are the evil or bad guy in the film e.g. the use of weapons and language used but also the clothes they are wearing and the body language. 4)People or teens may reject this mindset and have an oppositional reading because they don't believe the stereotype that ALL teens are a threat to vulnerable people and that teens are dangerous murders. 5) The preferred reading for the McDonald's advert is for the audience to see or watch it and to want to buy and eat t
