MIGRAIN 3 Assessment - Learner response

1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential).

-WWW: Marwa, a solid response for question 2-lots of discussion around social/cultural contexts in reference to representations in advertising -valid points and theories discussed.

-EBI: Not enough focus in textural analysis for question 1-more focus needed on mis-en-scene.

2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Write down the number of marks you achieved for the two questions:

-3/8; 9/12

3) For Question 2 on the social and cultural contexts of gender representations, identify three potential points in the mark scheme that you didn't include in your answer.

-Butlers theory-gender is not natural but instead socially constructed, gender is a performance.

-Bell Hooks-equal rights about black women in media is not represented instead the typical white are.

-Mulvey-theories about male gaze, but also female gaze.

4) Having read the whole mark scheme, pick out one media theory that you didn't include in this assessment and summarise it briefly here so you can use it confidently in future.

-Gauntlett's theory about the fact that masculinity is not in crisis.

5) Based on your experience in this assessment, identify three aspects of Media (e.g. skills/particular theories/examples) that you need to work on for your next assessment.

-I have to link the theories in question two and validate it against the product presented so I can try to gain as many  marks as possible.

-For question 1, I should remember to read the question carefully.

-For question 1, also remember to use CLAMPS.
