TV Assessment LR
1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential).
Grade: B
WWW: Strong throughout with lots of good points
EBI: Clarity + question focus needed for very top level and A* grade
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- The poster arguably provides a good example of pastiche: media products that imitate the
style of another text, artist or time period.
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: bricolage: the juxtaposing of old and new texts, images, ideas and narratives to create new meanings.
Pastiche: media products that imitate the style of another text, artist or time period.
Intertextuality: references to another media
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
Capital is a state-of-the-nation drama and this genre immediately gives it an urgency and realism that reflect the political and cultural contexts of its setting.
b) use of media theory
Applying Gramsci’s theory of hegemony, this is unconsciously communicating to audiences the value in working hard, earning money and contributing to consumerism and capitalism - maintaining the status quo and reinforcing more rightwing ideology.
c) a judgement or conclusion on the question
therefore social, cultural and political contexts are not the only aspect to this process.
d) examples from the TV CSPs
available. In Capital, there are many elements of the narrative and characterisation that certainly fit with the ‘woke’ leftwing perspective in the ongoing culture wars.
e) use of media terminology
reinforces dominant hegemonic ideologies
5) Based on this assessment, write three things you need to revise before the upcoming end of Year 12 exams.
