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.

Maybelline 'That Boss Life': case study & wider reader

Close-textual analysis: Cinematography: camera shots and movement: Zooms- fast paced, draws in audience, audience involvement, mimics vlogging. Tracking zoom when their makeup is done.

Narrative & Genre: narrative theory and sub-genre: Heroes; they give a transformative influence (quest). Quest to get mascara- luxury/quest for fame /perfect. The bell boy is considered as the 'donor'- he gives them the gold suitcase. Mise-en-scene: costume and props: Juxtaposition between costumes. Intertextuality/ parody- mascara is treated like money- excess/ wealth/ priceless. The product features in most shots- this reinforces then synergy/ focus.
