WWW: This is a superb assessment from beginning to end... there is absolutely no doubt you should be looking for an A* next year. This was a joy to read! The most important aspect is the way you engage with debates, evaluate theory and really examine the difficult sides of the question.
EBI: In Q4, you could have discussed regulation (as a way to protect audiences) or perhaps moral panic or technopanics. To be picky, you could perhaps have included a couple more examples - although this will be easier when we have studies CSPs.
Also in Q4, think about your organisation and paragraphing.
2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Identify at least one potential point that you missed out on for each question in the assessment.
1) Union Jack reflects Stormzy's stab proof vest he wore at Glastonbury.
2) Full marks, but could use bullet points in future to save time.
3) Argument for: Ad-free entertainment and news resource. It prioritises public benefit over commercial interests.
4) Moral panic (Cohen) could be used to argue that the media does not have a damaging effect on audiences – it is just a convenient scapegoat to blame for issues in society. E.g. poverty, violence, gun crime etc.
3) On a scale of 1-10 (1 = low, 10 = high), how much revision and preparation did you do for this assessment? You may also want to think here whether you had completed all the original blog tasks from last term before doing the assessment.
4?
4) Look at your answer for Question 2. Did you manage to write about three different strategies and three different benefits? It's vital you read the question and follow it exactly.
Yes
5) Look at your answer for Question 3. Did you follow the question guidance and write about both the BBC and commercial broadcasters? What could you have added to this answer to reach a higher mark?
I could have talked more about other commercial broadcasters specifically such as Channel 4. It's robin-hood model of crossfunding allows for more ambitious and innovative products to be produced as it reinvests all profits back into programming.
6) Now look over your mark, teacher comments and the mark scheme for Question 4 - the 20 mark essay question on media effects theory. Write a new paragraph for this question based on the suggested theories/answers in the mark scheme. Make sure it is an extensive, detailed paragraph focused on the question and offering examples from the wider media.
Regulation such as the BBFC can be used in order to protect audiences from harmful or inappropriate media. The BBFC was established in order to make sure that certain age groups aren't exposed to media seen as damaging for them by general public consensus, and so the use of regulation can negate the damaging effect on certain audiences that media may have. However, the existence of certain copycat crimes show that attempts to regulate media for sensitive content won't stop people from being influenced and damaged by it. The Batman series has spawned many examples, such as in a 2012 Colorado mass shooting in which a man shot into the audience of a Dark Knight Rises screening and claimed he was "the Joker", as well as a young girl in 2009 attacking her teacher while wearing joker-inspired make-up. Properties like Batman are so well known that it's difficult to shield audiences from its violence and influence, and so it's entirely possible that even those who aren't the active audience can be damaged by it.
