Learner Response


 1) Type up your feedback in full - WWW & EBI. You do not have to write your mark and grade if you don't want to.

Total = 24 = Grade 5

WWW - This is a very solid assessment, up slightly on your last one and with lots of potential to go even higher. Your questions on the clip are very good - 1.2 , 1.3. We now need to hit that level in the 20 mark question to open up the top grades.

EBI - Revise Reception theory a little!

       - Revise industries contexts for Doctor Who and Class. In particular BBC and Public Service                      Broadcasting - remit, ofcom, justifying license fee etc. Also merchandise and selling Doctor                    Who +  Class around the world.

LR - See blog  


2) Write a definition for a preferred reading to make sure you know this terminology. The original blogpost for Reception theory may help with this.

The meaning the producers intend to indicate, also known as the dominant reading

3) Write a list of any narrative theories that you DIDN'T use for your answer to question 1.2. How could you have used these in the Doctor Who clip in the exam? 

Levi - Strauss 

Could have talked about binary opposition. 
 - Good vs Evil
 - Light vs Dark
 
Barthes

Could have talked about action and enigma codes.

Entering TARDIS  -Enigma codes - What is it? 
                                                        - Who are they?

4) Write three ways in which a modern audience might respond differently to Doctor Who: An Unearthly Child compared to an audience at the time.

Camerawork

There is a less variety of shots in Doctor Who which makes it less exciting for a modern day audience. 

Sound  

The sounding is outdated for a modern audience as nowadays they would be able to add in more eerie sound to make a more eerie atmosphere to create elements of space.

Genre

The Doctor is a white male which would be an outdated stereotype for a younger audience but in 1960's it would have been normal for them as males were dominant.


5) Write a plan for question 2 in the assessment - the 20-mark essay on Doctor Who as a franchise. Use the mark scheme to help you and aim to plan an introduction, conclusion and at least three detailed paragraphs.


Introduction: The Doctor Who franchise has been very important for the BBC as it has been the longest running TV show and is aimed at a large audience. 


Representations

Paragraph 1: Traditionally the Dr was a white older male with a younger female companion which was reinforcing the stereotypes of males being dominant and superior whilst the females were inferior. But there have been changes in society were females are more superior and males were not. This can be seen in Class as April is more powerful as she threatens to kill her dad, etc which subverts stereotypes of women being inferior.

Story lines

Paragraph  2: The Doctor and Susan are strangers to earth and could be danger/threat. During this time there was a danger of Russian spies. The Doctor and Susan could be reflecting the spies.

In Class April has problems and fights with her father. This could relate to a teenage audience as it could reflect the parent child conflict in real life.


Audience  

Paragraph 3: Shows are now aimed at a smaller audience but spin-offs are made to gain a larger audience. For example Doctor Who and Class.

 
6) What topics do you need to revise for future Paper 2 exams? List at least three topics, theories or CSPs.

-Reception theory 
-Industry context for Dr Who
-PSB remit, ofcom etc

Because the tabloid usually features soft news which is celebrity gossip, the royal family and sports.

 
5) What is the balance on the Daily Mirror front page between images, headlines and text?

There are more pictures than text. This is because it is aimed at a working to middle class audience.


Audience

1) What is the target audience for the Daily Mirror?

The target audience for the Daily Mirror is working to middle class people (C2,D,E)

2) Why does the Mirror front page story appeal to the Daily Mirror audience?

The front page appeals to the target audience as it is mainly about the royal family which the audience would enjoy as it is a big part of the nation and if some of the audience are patriotic, then they would think the royal family is amazing. 


3) Why might a reader enjoy the Daily Mirror? Use Blumler & Katz Uses and Gratifications theory to add detail to your answer.

An audience would enjoy reading the Daily Mirror as:

Personal identity - The royal family are having a row so the audience can relate it as it seems like one of their family rows.

Personal relationship - The audience feel like they know the royal family. 
                                   - 'Wills' 'Harry' ' Kate' - informal and friendly 
                                   - Royal family get lots of media courage. Particularly in tabloids.

Class: Audience and Industry

 Audience

1) What were the viewing figures for Class and why do you think it did so badly?

Groups that would enjoy class would be the people who are Dr. Who fans or an audience that enjoy watching Sci-Fi or Fantasy.

Personal Identity: The main characters are School students which teenagers can relate to. We see                                          ourselves  like that.

Personal Relationship: We create a personal relationship with the characters and we feel for them.

 Diversion (Escapism): We get diverted from the real life world to the Class world and The Shadow Kin                                          planet.

Surveillance (Information / Facts): We learn about the Travel of Space and Aliens.


4) Thinking of the 3 Vs audience pleasures (Visceral, Vicarious and Voyeuristic pleasures), which of these can be applied to Class - Co-owner of a Lonely Heart?

The fans agreed with the review. They thought that the format of Class was wrong and that the relationship of April and Ram was too Fast.  

Industries


1) What was the objective of BBC3 when it was launched?

BBC3 objective was to innovative programmes to a target audience of viewers between  
16-34-year-old.

 2) Why did BBC3 go online-only in February 2016? 

BBC went online in February due to 16-34-year-old not watching live TV.

3) How does Class - Co-owner of a Lonely Heart meet the BBC's mission statement to 'inform, educate and entertain'?

Co-owner of a lonely heart meets the remit as they entertain teenagers by making the show related to a teenager lifestyle.

 4) How did the distribution of Class contribute to the failure of the show with audiences?
 
Class was shown late at night when most people are most likely sleeping and now days most teenagers watch online TV.

5) What advertising and marketing was used to try and promote Class to an audience? Why do you think this wasn't very successful?

They had lots of online videos with the cast and workers of Class, fan art and fiction.
It wasn't successful because it was criticised for not making more of its link to Doctor Who.

Comparison: An Unearthly Child and Co-owner of a Lonely Heart  

1) How are the technical conventions different between 1963 Doctor Who and 2016 Class (e.g. camerawork, editing, sound and mise-en-scene)?

The camera work in Doctor Who was shaky because they done it by hand compare to Class where it is much more steadily done because of stands and tracks. The sound is more realistic in class compare to Doctor Who.


2) What similarities and differences are there between An Unearthly Child and Co-owner of a Lonely Heart in terms of the science-fiction genre?

In an unearthly child, the design/layout of the TARDIS is like a spaces ship (alien like). 
E.g. the design pattern on the wall of the TARDIS is like small lights which give a feeling of Sci-Fi. 
Whilst in Co-owner of a lonely heart there is the futuristic weapon that Ms. Quill has and there is the blue orb which gives a felling of Sci-Fi.

3) What similarities and differences are there between An Unearthly Child and Co-owner of a Lonely Heart in terms of how they meet the BBC's remit to inform, educate and entertain?


In an unearthly child they meet the remit of educate and entertain whilst in Co-owner of a lonely heart they only entertain. An unearthly child educates about science, history, space and time travel and it is entertaining for the audience. In Co-owner of a lonely heart there is only entertainment for the audience as it is aimed at 16-34 year-old. 

4) How are representations of people, places and groups similar or different in the two shows?

In an unearthly child the representations of women are put as inferior towards men. This can be seen in when Barbara and Ian are in the junkyard and the doctor keeps looking at Barbara ignorantly and keeps talking to Ian "Young man..." Whilst in Co-owner of a lonely heart the women are superior. This can be seen when April is looking down and shouting at her farther then threatens to attack her. In Dr. who there is not that much diversity, there is only white middle-upper class actors/actresses. Whilst in Class there are BAME and white actors/actresses from all backgrounds and classes.  

5) What similarities and differences can you find in terms of the audience pleasures for An Unearthly Child and Co-owner of a Lonely Heart?

Both Dr. Who and Class have forms of diversion and entertainment as it fills their time in, it is relaxing and is full of enjoyment for the audience.

Donor - Ms Quill: Helps Charlie as she is in charge of his safety 

False hero - Ram: Thinks he is the hero as he helps April but he cant really do anything as he cant save                                her from Corakinus

Dispatcher - April's Father: This is because he tries to warn April's Mother that something is wrong                                                     with April.

Helper - Tanya: She tries to help everyone but cant do that much.

Swords - April and Corakinus 
Headteacher - What will Miss Quill do when the creature is out of her head?

Domestic setting vs Alien Setting - Gives feeling of a normal life than changes to a alien life.
Young vs Old - The young teenagers are interfering in trouble whilst the older people e.g. Ms Quill, don't care about anything or dont know what is happening.   


Representations

1) How is gender represented in Class - Co-owner of a Lonely Heart? Are gender stereotypes reinforced or subverted?

Gender stereotypes are both reinforced and subverted. They have been reinforced because the males have been presented as powerful and to be heroes. This is shown Ram is presented as the typical hero as he helps April as she goes to attack her farther and goes into the the realm of the shadow kin.
The have been subverted as the females have been presented as powerful  and superior. This is shown when April is about to attack her father and threatens top kill him, he gets frightened of  her and it is also shown when she goes into the realm of the shadow kin.      

2) How is age (e.g. teenagers; older people like teachers or parents) represented in Class - Co-owner of a Lonely Heart? Does the show reinforce or challenge stereotypes about young people?

Age is represented as the older people e.g. teacher/parents are caring toward the teenagers. Whilst the teenagers have been presented to be interfering.  

3) How is race and ethnicity represented in Class - Co-owner of a Lonely Heart? Are  stereotypes reinforced or subverted?

Race and Ethnicity have been both subverted and reinforced. They have been subverted because  BAME people have been represented to be smart and clever this can been seen by Tanya (Black character)  as she is smarter then her year group  as she is two year groups above. It has been reinforced as White people are represented as smart. This can be seen by April (White character) who is presented as smart.   


4) How is sexuality represented in Class - Co-owner of a Lonely Heart? How does this reflect the BBC's remit to represent modern Britain?

Sexuality has been presented to be open. This is because Charlie (Homosexual character) is open with his gender which is normal in his society but in real life some people show hatred towards homosexuality.    

5) How is disability represented in Class - Co-owner of a Lonely Heart? Why are disabled people generally under-represented in the media and how does Class try to address this?

Disability has been represented to be normal. This is because April has a disabled mother. Disabled people are under-represented because they cant do things that 'normal' can do and might have mental or physical health issues. Class has tried to present this to be a normal thing as some people have problems but we need to respect that.

Learner Response

 1) Type up your feedback in full - WWW & EBI. You do not have to write your mark and grade if you don't want to.

Total = 25 = Grade 5

WWW - This is a very solid assessment with the potential to aim for the top levels next time. It's very clear you've revised the theories, CSP's and contexts and this knowledge is vital to succeeding.

EBI -  Our challenge now is to add to depth and detail to you analysis to reach the top grades. Try and discuss the different possible meanings aspects of the text might communicate to the audience.
       - Question focus: you must stay focused on the 8 and 12 mark questions.

LR - see blog

 2) Look at Question 3 in the assessment - the media analysis of the Under Armour advert.

Use CLAMPS to revise mise-en-scene and write about each element of CLAMPS for the Under Armour advert.

C - Costume: The player is wearing red and black rugby kit which has connotations of the logo which is also in the colour red. The red could also show feelings of stress or energy which links back to the advert as the man is training which shows he is using power and energy. 

L - Lighting: The stadium floodlights tell the audience that they are in stadium which shows that under armour give their products to professional sports players. The floodlights are also in the shape on the under armour logo.

A - Actor placement and movement: The rugby player is lifting a large heavy tyre which suggests he is strong and training hard. The player's face suggests that he is drained and is training hard.

M - Make up: The player's face is shining under the lights which makes it look like he is sweating which shows connotations that he is training hard.

P - Props: The tyre is significant because it shows how strong the rugby player is because of his practice.
