 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.

This is really starting to concern me...the last TV asessment was a new experience but this one should have shown some progress.You start q1.3 and q2 well but stop after only one or 4 sentences.Why?

I think we need to have a very honest reflection on where we are at : i expected to see some progress here but you got the same score as last time.Is this a revision issue? Missing the original work? Exam technique? Reflect on this and be honest.


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 communicate. This builds on the idea that producers can position the audience in a certain way and influence their reading so they accept the intended message by using recognised codes and conventions (such as stereotypes).

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? 

Narrative- propp-character
todorov equilibrium structure

levi strauss binary opposition
Barthes enigma+action 

-doctor 
villain
anti-hero
ian+barbara heroes

todorov 
-disequilibrium :doctor
-recognition: tardis
binary oppostion
-hero/villain -light/black
- male/female 

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.

One way that modern audiences might respond differently is that the colour is white/black and modern audiences aren't used to watching tv shows without colour.Another way modern audiences might respond different is the camera quality.The camera quality is different and weird to what modern audiences would watch.Lastly why modern audiences may respond differently is because of gender representation because the doctor was speaking to ian chestorton(the male teacher).

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.

What you can write about is industries-bbc
  • license 
  • public service broadcaster
  • franchise
merchandise 
"whoniverse"
"whovlians"
bbc worldwide income 

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

Narrative- Todorov -equilibrium
levi strauss binary op
barthes enigma+action

The newspaper will act as a voice for normal people and go against the rich and powerful people 3) How are celebrities usually presented in tabloid newspapers like the Daily Mirror?

  Class: Audience and Industry blog tasks Audience 1) What were the viewing figures for Class and why do you think it did so badly? The viewing figures for Class started from over a million but then the last episode only had 0.28 million. I think it did so badly because most people didn't like the spin-off of Doctor Who since it was targeted towards much maturer audiences and wasn't as interesting as the original Doctor Who. Class is a spin off from doctor who but didnt really have any episodes linking to doctor who,he only comes in episode 1. 2) What audience psychographic groups might particularly enjoy Class? The audience psychographic groups that might particularly enjoy Class are Strugglers and perhaps Aspirers. 3) What audience pleasures are offered by  Class -  Co-owner of a Lonely Heart? Apply Blumler and Katz's Uses and Gratifications theory to the episode. Make sure you provide specific examples from the episode to support your ideas. Personal Identity: April (S...
