MIGRAIN October assessment learner response


WWW: There's actually lots of potential her...you offer some interesting and insightful points in most of the questions but need to improve revision and exam technique.

EBI: You must answer the question! Too often you drift off the question or stop offering specific analysis of the text you've been given.

-Written English/organisation. Make sure you are using paragraphs and organising your ideas in every question.

-Revise the theory and apply it. Genre theory?

The part of the mark scheme I didn't in the exam was excellent and judicious use of the theoretical framework (media language & narrative theory) to analyse how poster uses narrative.

The point that I missed in the exam was Enigma which signify pose questions to the audience which are then answered shortly after or later on in the film and Action codes which show significant events which move the narrative on in a particular direction.

The media terminology I got wrong in the exam was that I confused Todorov's theory with Propp's  theory which talked about how every narrative has eight characters and I also should have included Action and Enigma codes.

The question I did the most well on was Question 1 as I answered the question fully. The question that I did the worst in was Question 3 as I didn't explain that video fully and wandered off what the question was asking me.

Lighting: Still Image analysis  The first picture uses top-lighting which highlights the women's facial features such cheekbones and jawline. Also, this makes the women in the picture seem more glamorous but also more vulnerable. The t op-lighting also prevents the background from being clearly seen making it seem as like an assortment of shadows. There is also some lighting which highlights the door between the women.

Marxism and Hegemony

Marxism and Hegemony 1) The Left is the radical, reforming, or socialist section of a political party or system.  Some of the suggested left wing ideologies promoted by Capital, the Muslim brother who is released and not being associated to terrorism, the illegal women who is capable of working , the banker and his wife are represented as bad and his wife is represented as insufferable and the the Polish man and his wife being compared to Mother Teresa.  2) " the ghastly Roger and Arabella (Toby Jones and Rachael Stirling) went through the same long-drawn-out charade, bidding the rooms of their house goodbye." This quote is true to an extent as the scenes with Roger and Arabella mostly seemed to be them arguing with each other and also leads to their splitting up in on of the the episodes. " Capital started with an intriguing idea: some unknown anarchist was posting ominous cards through the doors in a gentrified London street...  But that concept went nowhere.&
