Magazines and Music Video assessment: 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: clear understanding & knowledge of uses & gratifications theory.

ebi: some careless mistakes on media terminology e.g coverlines, masthead. More specific examples from csp for Q5.

2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Write down the mark you achieved for each question: 
grade 6

Q1: 2/2
Q2: 5/8
Q3: 4/6
Q4:3/3
Q5:3/6

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 use of slang words suggest the content is  low brow which connotates the magazine is aimed at lower middle class people, the bright pink and yellow colour scheme connotates the magazine is aimed at women that are in their twenties hence the use of vibrant colours.

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.
Celebrities are presented as unfaithful, short-sighted and controversial.

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. Seeing the band members perform may give the audience a sense of identity with the clothing that they wear. The lyrics might also relate to the audience's personal lives alongside the grungy aesthetic of the raw footage in the music video.

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 could you try to include in your answer? 
The synthetic band, large budget, costume change, set design and music video aesthetics.

Film Industry: Marketing - Marvel Cinematic Universe

  Risky business The creative industries are a risky business for companies - it costs a huge amount of money to create a media product like a film and there's no guarantee the audience will like it. No brand loyalty A new, original film has no established brand or audience - it has to generate all the interest through marketing. This is why film companies prefer to make sequels, reboots or films from an established franchise (like the Marvel Cinematic Universe) - there is an existing audience ready to buy the product.  Star power If the film isn't from an existing franchise, film studios use star actors or directors to help generate interest in the film and find an audience. Star directors like veteran political filmmaker Ken Loach have an established audience that will always watch his films regardless of subject matter.
