Magazine and Music video learner response

 1) Type up your WWW/EBI feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential). 

www-Good on conventions + termonology.Good effort at attempting all questions

ebi-Your evidence needs to be specific to the csp rather than vague/general

-spag:literacy sometimes makes it harder to understand meaning


2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Write down the mark you achieved for each question: 

Q1:2 
Q2:2 
Q3: 2
Q4:3
Q5:1


3) Look specifically at question 2. Use the indicative content in the mark scheme for question 2 to write three connotations of the design and layout of Tatler.

• the denotation of one central image directly addressing the audience enables the audience
to see the aspirational Tatler reader – an upmarket, sophisticated woman
• the choice of white and black font/typography against the natural setting connotes that the
magazine is both fresh and modern but from a classy, traditional base. This is likely how the
Tatler audience would like to see themselves
• the soft focus also draws the eye to the image, in particular the model’s gaze, which
connotes equality between the model and the reader, given the model’s body language

4) Now look at question 3 - Heat magazine. Use the indicative content in the mark scheme to write three ways celebrities are represented in Heat magazine.

• Some of the paparazzi photography is designed to make them look like ‘normal’ people so
readers can identify with them or feel closer to them.
• Celebrities on cover tend to be reality TV or pop stars – celebrities generally from more
working class backgrounds so again creating a point of contact with a working or middle
class audience.
• Focuses on celebrities’ relationships – ‘double life’, ‘secretive star’, ‘baby daddy’, ‘Giovanna’s
heartache’ etc. Suggests these are important developments audiences want to hear the
latest on.


5) Look at question 5 - Arctic Monkeys and audience identity. This is a real AQA past question with lots of potential answers given in the mark scheme. Choose three answers that specifically refer to the Arctic Monkeys CSP and write them here. 

• the audience might watch music videos to reinforce values and behaviour. The lead singer
seems to not care about the filming of the music video, rarely making eye contact with the
camera and stating at the beginning ‘don’t believe the hype’. The audience gain a sense of
identity as they can relate to the lead singer’s both nonchalant and rock and roll
representation.
• the audience can gain a sense of identity as they recognise something of themselves or
relate in some way to the group. The band are dressed in standard teenage rock band garb
of plain t-shirts, jeans and trainers, a look that can be easily replicated by fans or is already
worn by them. They are not really offering a performance, it is more of a jam session with
them showing their musical prowess to their friends which is something the audience might
also do
• music videos might represent artists as role models that fans can aspire to be like thus
allowing the audience to gain a sense of identity. The band are represented as ‘everyday
lads’ with typical clothes, costumes, acne. They make eye contact with each other and look
to be having a laugh. The audience might feel they are achievable role models

6) BLACKPINK - How You Like That didn't come up in this assessment. If this CSP comes up in your end of Year 1 exam, what three things about BLACKPINK and How You Like That will you try to include in your answer?

-Different scenes
-The way they dance
-How much money was spent to make the video

Reception theory

Image
  1) What is the preferred reading of a media text? The preferred reading of a media text  is how the producer wants the audience to see the media text. 2) What is the oppositional reading of a media text? The oppositional reading of a media text is something that places the audience in a different position they were in before/changes their view. 3) How does the Harry Brown trailer position the audience to respond to the teenage characters in the film? The trailer of the Harry Brown clip wants the audience to think that most kids are very bad and like to commit bad things because of what other people are doing or to be cool.This shows us that most people commit to doing bad things because of the influence of other people.This would most certainly make the audience believe that if they are doing these bad things they would not care about the consequences of their own actions.Meaning if they got in trouble they would not care and would still continue their bad ways. 4) Why might...

3) What stereotypes of women can you find in the 1950s and 1960s adverts? Give specific examples.  Women were seen to stay at home and do all the cooking and cleaning.Their hair had to be perfectly done and their makeup should be flawless.In the adverts the women would always be cooking or cleaning.The products for the advert would always be a cleaning or cooking product and the main character would always feature a women in it.The stereotype was that women should stay home and be cooking or cleaning  for their husband while he works to make money for the household.Also women would have to have their hair and makeup done for their husband to seem pretty and modest for them. 4) What stereotypes of women can you find in the post-2000s adverts?  The stereotypes form women in the 2000s was that they had to please men.This meant that they were heavily objectified and had to make sure that they fitted the beauty standards.Women were still seen as much more weaker  than men...

OMO advert CSP

  1) What year was the advert produced? The year the  OMO  advert was produced was in 1955 2) How were women represented in most adverts in the 1950s? Add as much detail to this answer as you can as these are the social, cultural and historical contexts we will need to write about in the exam. In most adverts in the 1950s women were presented as cookers and cleaners.The way these adverts were presented always showed a massive stereotype towards women.For example in the OMO advert it features a women enjoying hanging up the washing.Her facial expressions show that she is shocked and is also enjoying what she is doing.To show this was a stereotype the advert used a women (could be seen as a mother).At the bottom of the advert there is some text where it says "This will shake your mother".This is a stereotype because it fully shows that this product was aimed towards mothers because they are always cleaning and want their clothes and items to look the best of the best. 3) Ho...
