December PPE Paper 2: 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). The grade boundaries are here if you are wondering how close you are to the next grade up.
WWW:
-Very solid understanding of the social, historical and cultural; contexts of CSP's

EBI:
-Read the question carefully and highlight key words that the question is asking you to analyse. Then apply media theories / terminology in your analysis.

2) On a scale of 1-10 (1 = low, 10 = high), how much revision and preparation did you do for the December PPEs?
3

3) Use the mark scheme for this assessment to identify three points you could have made in any of the questions in Section A (Television). Look for the indicative content in the mark scheme - these are the suggested answers from AQA.
Narrative is driven by conflict. The brief first shot showing April
being attacked by the alien king grabs the audience’s attention by
establishing a conflict between two opposing sides suggesting that
a disruption to narrative equilibrium has taken place.

Modern social and cultural contexts place a high premium on diversity so any representation of teenagers which excluded diversity in (for example) ethnicity, social class, gender, religion, ability/disability or sexual preference would be more shocking to today’s audience than those of the 1960s.


4) There are three 20-mark essay questions in Media Paper 2. What will you do to improve your performance in the 20-mark essays in the March PPEs?
Next time, for the 20 markers I will make sure I stay focused on the question, always link it back so i can get my point through, give more evidence, and talk about another CSP in the synoptic question.

5) Question 5 is a synoptic question that requires you to refer to other CSPs. What other CSPs could you have used for this Question 5 on Zoella and celebrity?
I could have mentioned NHS Represent, Galaxy and Kim Kardashian Hollywood, but talked more about Lara croft.

Industry and audience power essay

 “The internet has given audiences much more power than ever before.” To what extent do you agree with this statement? I strongly agree with this statement because the audience has free will and the power to choose which movies to give better rantings to, which artists to support and make them become famous and immediately get news and share it on social media. One reason why I strongly agree with this statement is because of the media industry. Industries are the producers, the companies that produce (make) and distribute the media product this leads to industries having a strong interest in who their target audience is so that they can best appeal to them.  Due to most people self- promoting themselves nowadays for the public to see by uploading a video of themselves onto YouTube or any other social media sites and if enjoyed by the public eye, many  supporters will help boost their status by sharing their video. However before the internet, people had to be signed onto record la

 General Look through the slides from the lesson on Reveal and use this information and your own research and analytical skills to answer the questions below.    1) Based on your research, what type of people read Reveal? Consider demographics and psychographics. Based on my research the type of people that read the magazine reveal, in terms of psycho-graphics would be strugglers since others often see them as victims and losers which links to them may reading Tatler as a cheap magazine which allows them to seek escape. 2) Look at the lesson slides: how does the editor introduce Reveal magazine? The editor introduces Reveal the magazine as somewhere a reader can escape from life and feel comfortable reading because it includes informal speech allowing the reader to feel as if they're on the same level as the magazine. 3) What is the difference between the Reveal and Tatler target audiences? Tatlers target audience is more towards the posh British late 20's women, beca
