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).

WWW: Some attempt to explain ideology
EBI: More understanding of how certain texts may not be ideological

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 - Bricolage and Pastiche
Q2 - How it may not be ideological

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

Bricolage: Juxtaposing old and new texts

Pastiche: Media products that imitate another text/artist/time period

Intertextuality: References to other media texts/products

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

"Both Capital and Deutschland 83 construct ideological positions that reflect social, cultural and political contexts. However, it can be argued that these ideological positions are ambiguous and audiences may take a range of different meanings from the two TV dramas."

b) use of media theory

"The elements of crime and family drama all set around one London street creates a sense of authenticity that could unconsciously communicate certain ideologies to its mainstream BBC audience."

c) a judgement or conclusion on the question

"In conclusion, it is impossible to ignore the ideological positions constructed by television dramas and Capital and D83 are no exception to this."

d) examples from the TV CSPs

"Sympathetic takes on immigration and asylum, the demonisation of bankers (Roger and his boss Lothar presented as clueless in their meeting with the young upstart Mark) and Quentina’s lawyer being played by a black female actress would all suggest a more liberal ideology underpinning the show."

e) use of media terminology 

"In Deutschland 83 (D83), the historical drama / spy thriller genre inevitably constructs an ideological position in their representation of contexts."

5) Based on this assessment, write three things you need to revise before the upcoming end of Year 12 exams.
- Media terminology
- Key theories
- Exam technique

Mise-en-scene Recreation

PLANNING Costume - I will wear a white and black t-shirt to match Jason's outfit. Lighting - The scene will take place at night in my kitchen, dimly lit. Actors - My character would not move around so much. They would be near the kitchen counter, on a phone call. Their expression would change quickly to concern once they realise that their friend is not on the call. Make-up and hair - I won't need to do much make-up. I don't know if I could exactly fully match my hair to be exactly like Jason's. Props - My phone will be the primary prop my character is holding. He will pick it up when he notices it is ringing. Setting - My scene will take place inside of a kitchen.
