Film & 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).

 WWW:

 Some excellent application of media terminology and sophisticated analysis throughout and a synoptic approach too for the last question 

 EBI
A few more specific examples required from the CSP.

 B+


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).

 Not too sure on what to write here since the exam paper is different from the mark scheme


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

Bricolage:

Bricolage is the comparison of two different items/texts (commonly from different time periods) to create something new

Pastiche:

 Mimicry (not parody) of a text 

Intertextuality:

 Reference of one text in another text
4) The second question was on the film industry. Write down two points from the mark scheme about Chicken's promotion and distribution that you didn't include in your answer.

 Some issue with Q2) 

5) Look over your mark, teacher comments and the mark scheme for Question 3 - the 25 mark essay question on your TV Close-Study Products. Write a complete essay plan for this question based on the suggested answers in the mark scheme. You can either use something similar to your actual answer or alternatively start from scratch. Make sure it is an extensive, detailed plan focused on the question (representations; social and cultural contexts of production) and offering specific references to Capital and Deutschland 83 for each section. Try and cover the two texts equally if you can and aim to plan around 5-6 paragraphs in total.
Steve Neale suggests media products need to show "repetition and difference" in their use of genre. To what extent do your television close study products support this view? 

 Intro:

 A brief explanation of the idea of repetition and difference followed by opinion 

 Para 1

 D83: Yes, far more extreme than capital, e.g. Nature of the show is wildly different such as producers, story, production of actual show while still playing with common concepts of the genre 

 Para 2

 Capital: Also yes, but done differently, rather than D83

  • Use of narrative is different 
  • nature of the story done differenty
While also staying in line with what is expected of shows within the state of the nation genre 



Para 3

 Outside example showing extra example 

  • Further agreeing with the statement through examples
  • Why Rep and Dif is important 
Para 4 

Difficulties of Rep and Diff
  • How to do it right (very brief)
  • How its done wrong (very brief)
  • etc
Para 5 
Conclusion

Mise-en-scene blog task

Image
Costume : The characters within the frame are all wearing either linen cloth or armour, this shows two things, first that the main characters are from a medieval era, most movies from a different genre or time zone would generally not use this style of dressing. Their costumes also show that they are prepared or preparing for physical conflict, something that is common in these kinds of movies. Lighting : The scene uses low key lighting , this creates an ominous and serious tone within the frame, the use of backlights along with the angle in which the shot was taken shows the viewers that something intimidating and dangerous is coming. Actors (Placement) : The actors within the frame  are placed in a synchronised battle formation giving the viewers a feeling of coordination and a feeling of trust between the figures. The fact that they all have their weapons drawn and are looking directly towards the camera adds to the feeling that something intimidating and dangerous is comin

Music Video: Michael Jackson - Billie Jean

1) What was the budget for Billie Jean ? How did this compare with later Michael Jackson videos? Billie jean’s budget was $50,000, this is significantly lower than his later projects beat it and Thriller which had a budget of $300,000 and $2 million respectively 2) Why was the video rejected by MTV? They believed it didn’t match their audience 3) Applying Goodwin's theory of music video, how does Billie Jean reflect the genre characteristics of pop music video? Notions of looking and studio demands to advertise MJ by dancing and performing are both present in the music video 4) How do the visuals reflect the lyrics in Billie Jean ? One instance would be when MJ sings “eyes like mine” once said the camera focuses on his eyes with a freeze frame 5) Why does the video feature fewer close-up shots than in most pop videos? Since MJ was known for his dancing, having the camera film his entire body through a medium-long to long shot in order to see his perform
