- Very good knowledge of shown - if you can add politics/ ideology to your answers you'll do even better.
EBI
- Revise/Learn postmodernism!
- D83 much weaker than Capital... clearly an area to revise.
- Question focus: Q2 starts in quite a misleading way and Q3 is it always focused on representations.
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) Patiche - media products that imitate the style of another text, artist or time period.
Q2) Have the facts straight before making a statement in the question and proof read.
Q3) Political arguments in question 3 would have made a more convincing argument.
3) The first question demanded a response using postmodern terminology. Write a definition here of the three main terms:
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: Referencing to 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.
Could have mentioned the struggle which they faced for 2 years in an attempt to secure a distribution deal. I also would have wrote more about their digital impact on making popularity themselves for free on such a low budget on social media.
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) 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.
