January assessment learner response

  January 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). Grade: B Mark: 30/43 WWW: Ishmeet, a brilliant assessment attempt from you. It is obvious that a lot of revision and preparation has taken place. For example, Industries Q- knowledge on conglomerates and audience theories EBI: In places, your responses just explain theories but not validating or providing examples to form a debate or argument. For example Q3 on PSBs and Q4 on audience theories. 2) Read  the mark scheme for this assessment carefully . Identify at least  one  potential point that you missed out on for each question in the assessment. Q1:  In contrast to this, the image has Stormzy bare-chested which arguably reinforces the  sexualisation of black males in the media and reinforces traditional masculine stereotypes  which contrasts with the idea of vulnerability.

Feminist theory

Feminist theory Media Magazine reading - two articles on feminism and theory Read  Playing With The Past: Post-feminism and the Media  ( MM40 , page 64 -  our Media Magazine archive is here ). This is a great example of sophisticated media analysis and an indication of the level we want to be writing at by the end of the two-year course. 1) What examples are provided from the two texts of the 'male gaze' (Mulvey)? HBO’s Pan Am and Beyoncé’s music video for ‘Why Don’t You Love Me’. 2) Do texts such as these show there is no longer a need for feminism or are they simply sexism in a different form? Both texts suggest that we are now in a time beyond the need for feminism, that we can now look back and laugh nostalgically at the way women were treated in those periods in our history. 3) Choose three words/phrases from the glossary of the article and write their definitions on your blog. Male Gaze – The gaze referring to Laura Mulvey’s seminal article ‘Visual Pleasure and Narr...

My media consumption

 My media consumption  Newspapers Which daily newspapers (if any) do you read?   I don't read newspapers, but when I come across them, I read the Metro. What sections of newspapers do you turn to first, and why? I mostly view the first page of the newspaper as it includes all the publication information and to read the main stories. The front of the newspaper attracts the most people by putting the most popular news on the front.  What sections do you never read, and why? I mostly skim through the newspaper however I find the sports section quite boring. What kinds of stories do you usually read and why? Sometimes I read about the politics news and what is currently happening in the parliament or worldly news to be aware of what's happening. Do you, or someone else, buy the newspaper you read? My parents sometimes bring newspapers back from work and if I have the time to read it, I read it. Sometimes I find them on a bus and take a quick read of the front page. D...
