MIGRAIN October assessment LR

WWW:
You clearly understand many of the media concepts and have analysed the products well to answer questions.

EBI:
You need to revise media theorists so you can evaluate by applying theories to your own ideas.

Q1- I missed out this question as I didn't learn about the theorists. I need to be able to use theoretical framework to analyse how the poster uses narrative.

Q2- I need to have an understanding of the theoretical framework that is demonstrated by consistently appropriate explanation and comparison of the connotations in the products.

Q3- I don't have much knowledge and understanding on the influences of genre in media audiences and industries; this needs to be supported by appropriate and effective examples.

Q4- Make sure that my judgements are always fully supported.

Gender, Identity and Advertising

1) Gauntlett suggests that the "mass media is a force for change." This links with 'That Boss Life' by Maybelline as they use a man who uses makeup in the advert. Traditionally, people wouldn't usually associate men with makeup; stereo-typically, only women wore makeup. The advert subverts the traditional views. 2) Gauntlett suggests that "television programmes, pop songs, adverts, movies and the internet provide numerous kinds of 'guidance'" therefore, "we lap up this material because the social construction of identity today is the knowing social construction of identity." This means that we listen to the 'guidance' that is given to us through the media which changes the way that we our, forming our identities. 3) Both CSPs reflect the idea that "the twentieth century are less tolerant of homosexuality."
