Y12 Media exam: Paper 1 Learner response

-

 1.) "www: Lea, your attempt at analysing the unseen media text (Q1) was clear just remember to include specific media terminologies.

EBI: Revise strategies for ownership + control (Q2). Q4 had a clear argument but you didn't zoom on the named theories or include enough examples to support your overall argument."

2.) a.) The ad heavily uses what Neale describes to be “instance of repetition” using familiar tropes to interact with viewers expectations surrounding products of the media.

b.) both products can be viewed as simulated versions of reality in which they consisted of self-conscious stylised hyper-masculine constructions.

c.) car is filled with boys whom appear to be out at night, consisting of images of them throwing stones into the Thames near an industrial setting which emphasises the time of Thatchers mass unemployment within the youth.

3.) A few benefits of horizontal integration are increased market shares and greater market power due to companies merging, also geographical/product expansion and reduced competition. Vertical integration is when a company takes over many different stages of its production instead of relying on external suppliers. 

4.) The definition of traditional market are marketing schemes that do not consist of modern day technology like their internet or through screen but instead through posters, newspaper adverts and word of mouth.

5.) I will revise industries and companies more as well as try focus more my revision on more industry based theorists, I will stop only revising theories I enjoy and actually focus on those I struggle on.

Another example of of T.S using media to construct her own image is through her social media where she deliberately uses posts for self advertisement for both her image and promotion for her creative work, only showing viewers what she wants them to see.  T.S Textual Analysis 1.) T.S's website is constantly changing in order to perpetuate her self promotion and advertising of her creative work however the house font and logo remains consistent. Consisting of a plethora of different images of herself as well as descriptions of each of her eras, her entire website is c...

 1.) "WWW: Lea, a very good assessment, well done. In particular, your knowledge and understanding of the BBC Newsbeat CSP is good and clear. Some really good arguments and judgements about magazine competing at a print industry within the digital age. EBI: Missing specific examples from both the magazine CSP's to strengthen your argument. More emphasis on the ownership impacting their successes/failures. 31/40 ---> A 2.) Use of hypodermic needle model was too simplistic and was widely discredited, instead should have used cultivation theory, mean word pr the two set flow theory. Should have also made a clearer judgement and argument instead of exploring the topic. Also need to refer to other relevant media effect theories (named above).  3.)  Gerbner's Cultivation theory: useful since it emphasise the act that audiences may be gullible and due to different medias they consume their ideologies and opinions can warp and be manipulated.  Frankfurt School's Hypodermi...
