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: A superb assessment- well done! Seriously impressive knowledge shown in both questions. Keep up the good work
EBI: For Q2, exploring both sides of the ideological positioning could push you towards the top level. See the exemplar answer for an example of this


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).
The distinction between actors and characters is arguably breaking down as films allude to
stars’ previous roles or reputations or deliberately play an actor against type.

media products – particularly fictional genres such as dramas – are constructed for
entertainment and escapism


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:

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

b) use of media theory

c) a judgement or conclusion on the question

d) examples from the TV CSPs

e) use of media terminology 

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

I will improve my knowledge on theories and apply them more in my essays

I will improve my knowledge of key media terminology to impress examiners and prove i understand media language

I will push myself in my 25 mark essay by debating and stating my own opinions by also justifying the opposite ideas.

Editing blog task

  Editing: blog task There are some truly fantastic clips for the Editing part of the Film & TV Language unit.  Your final analytical blog task is to find a film or television clip on YouTube that you feel has been edited in a distinctive way and write a 750 word analysis of the clip. One of the key elements that contribute to the effectiveness of the bank robbery scene is the rhythmic pace established through meticulous editing. The director pays close attention to detail and uses a combination of quick cuts and longer takes to control the rhythm of the sequence. Before the heist, there is a deliberate and measured pace. This deliberate pacing not only builds tension but also allows the audience to understand how complex the plan truly. As the heist unfolds, the editing rhythm accelerates and therefore mirroring the heightened adrenaline of the characters and intensifying the audiences experience. Quick cuts between the robbers executing their roles and the reactions of unsuspect

Cinematography analytical task

1) Write an analysis of the cinematography in the opening sequence.  Highlight  your use of media language and try to cover camera shots, angles and movement using the terminology we have learned in lessons.  Establishing shot was the first shot to show the laboratory and where the scene would take place. The camera was slight shaky to add realism when the scientist is running and was panning to the action. Close ups were used and the scientists face was zoomed in on gradually as the tension built up. Tracking shits were also used to draw the audience in and when the kids are playing D&D the camera is eye level to make the audience feel as if they just walked into the room. 2) How does the camerawork give the audience clues about the setting, narrative and character? The establishing shot shows the audience the scene takes place in a laboratory.. The close ups on the kids playing D&D shows that they are fooling around and almost brings a false tension to add  suspense Secondly,

Sound video feedback and learner response

-
 1) Type up your feedback from your teacher. Minor technical point- resolution of image in places This meets the brief well- good choice of music and the parallel section is perfect. Good pace and transition to the editing too The contrapuntal section works (particularly the black and white effect) but perhaps doesn't have the same impact as some of the contrapuntal sections we have seen 2) Type up your feedback from fellow students - you can summarise key points if several students give you similar feedback. Good choice of music good switch from happiness to sadness smooth transition quality could be better 3) Now reflect on your work and write your own evaluation of your video. Write a 'What went well' (WWW) paragraph and a paragraph for 'Even Better If' (EBI) underneath the rest of your feedback. WWW: Met the brief and used good pictures to match sound EBI: pictures could have been better quality and I could have tried to make the pictures that are contrapuntal a
