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).

Either you didn't give me any or you gave it to me on a different paper than the exam paper that I don't have.

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).

Q1-There are many examples of intertextuality: the main central image suggests a bridge between James Bond and Austin Powers (bond parody) with Tower Bridge in the background reinforcing London as a location; Samuel L. Jackon’s image nods to both Tarantino films and the Blaxploitation genre (Tarantino is also referenced by the martial arts female suggesting the Kill Bill movies); Michael Caine (bottom right) appears to be reprising his role in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy; the image at the top is visually reminiscent of Matt Damon’s Bourne films (e.g. The Bourne Identity).

Q2-media products are inherently ideological, they cannot avoid positioning audiences

3) The first question demanded a response using postmodern terminology. Write a definition here of the three main terms:

Bricolage: Juxtaposition of old and new to create new meaning.
Pastiche: To imitate another persons style.
Intertextuality: One text referring to another.

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.

Exam practise, I need to improve my timing and speed of writing questions.
Keyword, media terminology is something I need to get the top marks
Lastly I need to work on remembering context from the CSP.
