Mock LRs

-

Total = (26) = B

WWW.

A strong exam throughout with some excellent engagement with media ideas and debates in places. The challenge now is to add the depth and consistency to push on towards an A grade.


EBI 

Q2 is a litle weaker, try and bring in some theory here and more detailed references to the texts

- Question focus: make sure you ruthlessly focus on what the question is asking you.


(before I add this part in I would just like to mention that the tasks for this assessment isn't up on the blog)


Genuinely this is the best paper I've sat and done for media, I enjoyed my time with the paper and that's visible via the B grade, however it isn't all sunshines and rainbows. One of the reasons I feel I wasn't getting MORE marks could be due to the fact I write really fast, even with proof reading 5+ times, I think it's the excitement I feel after finishing a good paper that allows me to slip up. After receiving my paper today and looking through it, although I am extremely proud of myself, I do understand and see where I've slipped up (e.g. not explaining theorists properly, being to vague, just almost saying the wrong things etc.). After looking through my paper, I feel like looking through Advertising and Marketing or just Industries in general would benefit me greatly, as I almost ended up getting zero marks for a question based off of diversity? Overall I've done well and I think that looking through my theorists and terminology will help me elevate past these grades I've received in the mock. BUT I AM STILL REALLY PROUD OF MYSELF.

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
