MIGRAIN 3 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: Obaida , some attempt at analysing the unseen media product .

EBI : No reference to media theory or subject terminology for your Q2 - lots of gaps in your knowledge here .

6/20 E 

2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Write down the number of marks you achieved for the two questions: _/8; _/12. If you didn't achieve full marks in a question, write a bullet point on what you may have missed.

Q1 : 3/8 . How the different modes and language associated with different media forms communicate
multiple meanings

Q2: 3/12 . Demonstrate understanding of contexts of media and their influence on media products and
processes

3) For Question 2 on the social and cultural contexts of gender representations, identify three potential points in the mark scheme that you didn't include in your answer.

• Satisfactory understanding of the theoretical framework that is demonstrated by generally appropriate explanation of how gender  representations in advertising reflect their social and cultural contexts.

• Generally appropriate use of subject specific terminology throughout.

• Good knowledge and understanding of the influences of the social and cultural contexts on media products that is usually supported by mostly appropriate and effective reference to examples.

4) Having read the whole mark scheme, pick out one media theory that you didn't include in this assessment and summarise it briefly here so you can use it confidently in future.

Gauntlett's theory of masculinity not being in crisis .(David Gauntlett argues that masculinity is constantly evolving and social concerns that masculinity is ‘in crisis’ are exaggerated.)(Indeed, this campaign reinforces classic masculine stereotypes and therefore perhaps provides evidence against Gauntlett’s theory.)

5) Based on your experience in this assessment, identify three aspects of Media (e.g. skills/particular theories/examples) that you need to work on for your next assessment.

• Knowing the theorists and their theories as well as being able to link the theories .
• Having subject terminology .
• Using real life examples .

Audience theory 2: blog tasks

  1) Social learning theory has been criticised for simplifying the causes of violence in society. Do you think the media is responsible for anti-social behaviour and violence? I think the media is responsible for anti-social behaviour and violence as they have control to what is given to audiences which majorly impacts behaviours upon society . 2) How is social learning theory relevant in the digital age? Are young people now learning behaviour from social media and the internet? Give examples. Social learning theory is prominent in this era as audiences receive through social media and frequently upon on what is given to them . 3) Research  three  examples of moral panic from the last 50 years.

The preferred  reading is that Reebok is open to individuality  which can be displayed with 50 cent being proud of who he is hence the statement ' I am what I am ' . The negotiated reading is the readers may view the bullets as 50 having been short and surviving linking to the resilience  of the shoe similar  to his resilience . An oppisitional reading is that readers may dislike 50 cents past and music career therefore leading towards not purchasing the shoes . 2)  What are the preferred, negotiated and oppositional readings for the advert of your own choice that you analysed for last week's work?
