Film Industry 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: This is a solid assessment but also a good lesson in learning the materials inside out.

EBI- Only one csp to revise for this but still some key details missing or incorrect. Reflect on your blog work and revision 

2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Write down the number of marks you achieved for the three questions: _/3; _/6; _/9. If you didn't achieve full marks in a question, write a bullet point on what you may have missed.

1. 1/3 I didn't talk about BBFC and why they do they 
2. 5/6 I should of explained interviews TV shows for one of the strategy's 
3) 5/9 i should of used more key points and facts such as how the movie was sold for $18.1 million at the box office,it was sold for $15 million to New Line cinema.

3) For Question 2 on the promotion of Blinded By The Light, use the mark scheme to identify at least one strategy used to promote the film that you didn't mention in your answer and why it was used. The key lesson from this question was to make specific reference to the CSP in your answer and ensure each explanation was different.

Interviews it shows the realism and lets people understand the film in more depth. They also were on the one show which allows people to acknowledge the movie and when its coming out 

4) Now look at Question 3 - focusing on Hesmondhalgh's point that making media products is a 'risky business'. Write three bullet points from the mark scheme that you could have added to your answer. Try and include a specific reference to the CSP where you can and ensure you understand the key contexts to Hesmondhalgh's quote. Additional reference to Hesmondhalgh's ideas would help here too - you may want to look back at our work on Hesmondhalgh and the Cultural Industries.

● Blinded By The Light generated great excitement at the Sundance Film Festival which
resulted in an all-night auction that saw New Line Cinema pay $15m to distribute the film.

● Blinded By The Light then received a huge, global marketing campaign to try and turn the
film into the next Bend It Like Beckham global hit. This could easily have cost more than the
$15m production budget.

● Unfortunately, despite good reviews and positive word-of-mouth from audiences and online
(rated 89% on Rotten Tomatoes) it only pulled in $18m at the box office, barely covering the
production budget and nowhere near covering marketing costs.

Summer Project: coursework planning

  1) Research: music videosaa You need to write a  150-word close-textual analysis  of  SIX  music videos that will inform your production work. The music videos you analyse are up to you but focus on a different aspect of media language for each one (see guidance below).   Music videos Music Video 1: Narrative How is narrative used in the music video and what impact does this have on the audience? Can you apply any narrative theories to the story in the music video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0VdRLdg2ng The music video starts off in a post apocalypse setting which is a spin off of the game mad max it also has references from the movie the warriors "Can you dig it" The narrative is 2pac and Dr.Dre freeing theses prisoners from this camp.  The song's music video is renowned for parodying the Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome film from 1985. Shakur's old friend Jada Pinkett Smith came up with the concept for the photo session. Her original plan was t...

Statement of intent feedback

  GOHILL, Rishi   Mark: 3   Grade: D   Comments for AQA:   The statement of intent clearly offers a video concept that has some thought behind it – locations, shots, mise-en-scene. However, it lacks the ‘how’ or ‘why’ for media language and representation required for the higher levels. It arguably targets the specified audience but needs further justification in terms of the ‘mainstream’ element of audience outlined in brief. Media language elements are considered in places – there is clearly a plan for the music video element. Plan to have visuals matching lyrics is clear but focus on narrative does not go beyond this. Representation is addressed briefly in this statement in terms of reflecting the artist’s upbringing and subverting stereotypes but not really saying ‘how’ or ‘why’ this will be done. Audience is mentioned briefly but without really demonstrating knowledge of media terminology or theory. Lack of focus on brief too. Digital convergence and indust...
