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).

i cannot read handwriting!

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 narrative relies on a highly constructed enigma of the detective narrative providing audience pleasure but complicating the concept of realism.
  • Negative representations of the lives and values of those associated with finance and the city can be read ideologically  though this is complicated by individual character  development (psychological insights, star performances etc).
3) The first question demanded a response using postmodern terminology. Write a definition here of the three main terms:

Intertextuality: the relationship between texts, especially literary ones
Pastiche: an artistic work in a style that imitates that of another work, artist, or period.
Bricolage: Construction or creation from a diverse range of available things.

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:

Analysis of the products that focuses on contexts and ideological positioning: suggest leftwing ideologies are being promoted, all the characters' audiences are encouraged to sympathise with working hard and contributing to the economy.

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. However, it could be argued that different audiences can read these fictional genres in different ways depending on their own perspectives and therefore social, cultural and political contexts are not the only aspect to this process.

Examples from the TV CSPs: In Capital, there are many elements of the narrative and characterisation that certainly fit with the ‘woke’ leftwing perspective in the ongoing culture wars.

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.

Use of media terminology : The supermarket scene in the West where Martin first sees the plentiful food, colourful fruit and policemen eating ice creams presents the West as offering a much higher standard of living than the East and therefore reinforcing the dominant capitalist ideology we see across so much of western media.

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

Postmodernism
Deutschland 83
Intertextuality

Summer Project: Coursework Planning

1) Research: TV crime drama extract analysis   Breaking Bad - Editing We already know, a lot of footage is shot while creating videos and some may be short some may be long. Timing is critical for editing in order to create a smooth changes between the explosion and the character walking out, which then switches from the side to the front of the character, creating the perfect eyeliner match between the audience and the view behind the character. It is critical to cut through all of the shot footage and choose the best footage to include in the final production. Breaking Bad in this clip employed editing to control the story's speed. The clips would frequently use slow and methodical editing to create tension, allowing viewers to feel the weight of the characters' decisions and actions. Rapid editing, on the other hand, was used to heighten the drama during strong action sequences or moments of crisis. Top Boy - Mise-En-Scene The dress choices of the characters reflect their pe

TV: Capital - Marxism and Hegemony

  Task 1: Mail Online review of Capital 1) Re-read the  Mail Online review of  Capital . Why does it suggest that  Capital  features a left-wing ideology? Capital was as jam-packed with current issues as Jeremy Corbyn's schedule of events. This implies that the foundation of the government is left-wing philosophy. 2) Choose quote from the review that are particularly critical of  Capital  and paste them into your blogpost. Do you agree with the criticisms? Why? The locals were puzzled but not alarmed. Despite having no idea what was going on, the cops managed to solve the case. Furthermore, the crime was committed by a number of different cardboard characters, not just one. That is a cop-out rather than a whodunit. I think this is the case since it was challenging to understand what was being said and what the goal was. 3) What scenes or characters from  Capital  could be read as promoting left-wing ideology? the builder working for roger and arabella  rogrers nanny.  4) What about
