2nd Assessment LR

-

*DISCLAIMER* MY PREDICTED GRADE IS FOR THE END OF YEAR 13, IMPROVEMENT CAN 100% BE MADE.

WWW:

Your unseen analysis is very strong and you offer interesting points and examples in Q4. Now you need to develop consistency across the whole paper.

EBI:

Revise industry and public service broadcasting - this is costing you quite a few relatively easy marks.

Be a little more critical in the 20-mark essay... question theories, explore other side of argument (positive impact media).

I keep on ''dumbing things down'', I know I could be doing better however I need to elaborate what I'm trying to say in full detail. I also think that going too fast is another occurring stump, for example: on question 3 I went into it too fast and ended up switching around my for and against arguments. I need to give myself enough time to think before I write. 

On a scale of 1-10, I'd say 7. I did way more revision for this assessment than I did the last. However, I think I over prepared on theories, as only three ended up being in the paper so that took me by surprise and made me slip up a bit as I ended up not completing question 2 fully. After this assessment, I'd say past papers is what I need to be doing, as time is what I'm most worried about - the 1 hour period makes me incredibly nervous as I'm in a rush to complete every question.

Question 2 is where I ended up being stumped. I over revised media theories more than the TV industries. I think I only ended up getting 2 marks here.

Question 3 is where I ended up going to fast into it. I ended up switching around my for and against arguments. I feel like if I wrote them in the right place and elaborated more on my ideas I could've easily got full marks.

Audience Look through  the GQ Media Kit  and answer the following questions:  1) How does the media kit introduction describe GQ? Entering a new era of leadership and influence under Adam Baidawi, GQ explores the powerful and progressive new forces shaping culture, society and commerce in Britain. British GQ is today a digital, social, video and experiential powerhouse – a community where people gather to be inspired and exchange ideas around style, creativity and culture. 2) What does the media kit suggest about masculinity?  As masculinity evolves and men's fashion has moved to the centre of the global pop-culture conversation, GQ's authority has never been broader or stronger. 3) Pick out three statistics from the data on page 2 and explain what they suggest about the GQ audience. 61% - ABC1, £7.7K Average annual spend on fashion, £1.2K Average annual spend on beauty;  4) Look at page 3 - brand highlights.

  1) How has YouTube "democratised media creativity"? "The YouTube platform has democratised media creativity, with ordinary users uploading their own content: they are ‘produsers’ (producer-users) and ‘prosumers’ (producer-consumers). Content is published first and then filtered or judged later by audiences. So, success is measured by the number of views and the reaction of the ‘fans’ rather than the judgement and financial power of an industry editor/producer." 2) How does YouTube and social media culture act as a form of cultural imperialism or 'Americanisation'?  "In the 1960s Marshall McLuhan described how the world was shrinking, becoming more interconnected due to technological progress. For him, improved communications turned the world into a global village, and this was decades before the internet. Not all famous YouTubers, like Emma Chamberlain, are American but Americans certainly make up the majority. The universality of the English language

The Future of Journalism: Blog tasks Part 1: Clay Shirky lecture Go to the  Nieman Lab webpage (part of Harvard university) and watch the video of Clay Shirky presenting to Harvard students . The video is also available on YouTube below but the Nieman Lab website has a written transcript of everything Shirky says.  Play the clip AND read along with the transcript below to ensure you are following the argument. You need to watch from the beginning to 29.35 (the end of Shirky's presentation). Once you've watched and read the presentation and made notes (you may want to copy and paste key quotes from the transcript which is absolutely fine), answer the questions below: 1) Why does Clay Shirky argue that 'accountability journalism' is so important and what example does he give of this? The Bishop Accountability Project, which set up a database to prevent the “this is a rare occasion that doesn’t happen elsewhere” kinds of excuses from taking hold, added that article and the
