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.
