Gender Theory
The PowerPoint for today's lesson;
The Representation of Gender from Zoe Lorenz
Remember - Laura Mulvey is your key theorist for this. Other theorists to look at as part of your revision would be Liesbet van Zoonan and bell hooks for Feminist theory and Judith Butler for theories of gender performativity.
In general Stuart Hall and David Gauntlett - they will keep popping up.

Year 12 Mock Exam Section B Question
To help you prepare for the mock in the little time we have I am pre-issuing the section B question. Use this along with the case studies available on the o drive as part of your revision.
"To what extent has the internet played a significant role in the marketing and exchange of media products in the film industry?"
Your mock is next Thursday during the double. You will not get the full two hours but you are expected to answer on both sections. This means you will have slightly less time to respond to the questions. Be prepared for this.

TV Drama - A Brief Introduction
One of the first lessons we covered for the start of year 12 was identifying aspects of Television Drama. This is the exam topic for the end of year 12 and, although we won't be looking at it in depth just yet, I thought it was valid to start thinking about.
In the lesson we looked at types of TV Drama, how they appeal to specific audiences and how certain groups are represented. You were also set a task to watch an episode of a TV Drama of your choice and write a short blog post explaining what it was you watched, who it was aimed at and how you know and how representation is used.

I will be checking blogs and commenting on posts. To make my life easier can you make sure you follow the TNHA Media blog, that way I can locate you through the blog dashboard. You also need to be tagging your blogs so that you can find them easier. Anything related to the preliminary task should be tagged as such while any work on audience for TV Drama should be tagged audience, TV Drama and so on.

Case Study Research
You need to make sure you have a solid understanding of synergy and convergence as well as linear and vertical integration.
The best way to do this is create a family tree for your case studies
E.G
As you do this you should be able to make both vertical and horizontal connections (horizontal would represent companies responsible for the same process e.g. prodution, while vertical demonstrates the different levels e.g. distibution.

Year 12 - Missing Work and AP2
I am still concerned that there is a lot of
work missing from some of your blogs. This is making it difficult for me to give you a grade for work so far. This will impact on AP2 as, for some of you, I have no choice but to award a U.
To make it easy for you to see how I have come to grading decisions, I have separated work into tasks that count towards your coursework and are being used as indication of your potential and tasks that, although they will contribute towards your final grade, do not directly impact on my judgement of your potential.
You were given a very clear deadline. Although I expect to see the missing work on your blogs, work submitted after the deadline will not be given a grade.
Coursework Preparation;
Media profile and collage
Table comparing the BBC with Warner Bros
Graded Work;
Photography task - sequencing photos to show a short scene
Storyboard for your Preliminary Task
Outline for new preliminary task - to be done at home
Notes on Narrative supported with screenshots
Narrative flowchart of your favourite film or story using Tordorov
Analysis of a film opening in the same genre as your film
Research of a media company looking at what Media it owns
Preliminary group task (done in school)
Evaluation of group preliminary task
Exam;
Notes on TV Drama and Editing techniques
Table comparing the BBC with Warner Bros
Table comparing 1960s audience to modern audiences
The only piece of work which I am not expecting to see before the end of the month is;
Preliminary Film Task (due by the end of November)
If this continues to be a problem I will be contacting home, possibly discussing your future on this course with Mr Franklin, Mr Segar and Mrs Dove.

Exam Preparation - Year 12
Here is the powerpoint from today's lesson;
G322: AS Media Studies Section A & B from hannahmedia
In the lesson on Wednesday, if you have no tasks to catch up on, you can start compiling information for your case study. You will need to pick at least one British film company (remember, if you pick Film4 you cover all three areas of production/distribution/exhibition, if you pick something like Working Title, you will need to look a companies that cover the other two areas not covered by Working Title.) and look at a number of films produced by that company.
You do need to begin this now, although your exam still seems a long way off. Once we begin the coursework proper I will expect you to split your time between exam prep and coursework tasks. Therefore when you come to lessons you should have already decided what you are going to do, rather than me giving you tasks to complete.
Some example case studies - just to give you an idea of what sort of information you should be collecting;

Year 12 lesson - 4/11/14
Continuation of Audiences and Institutions using the previously posted powerpoint up to slide 23. Tasks for the lesson included researching a Media Company to see what aspects of Media it either owns or is involved with and a table comparing audiences from the 1960s to present day, thinking about how they have changed.
Ongoing task is based on slide 23, with a specific focus on film. You will need to build a case study around a major film company and an independent one and knowing how the film industry has changed over time will help develop your understanding.
Could you also make sure your notes for this week's lessons are posted before Monday 10th November so I can give them a quick look. Also, don't forget you should be working on your preliminary tasks or looking ahead to see what other coursework tasks you could be doing.

More Podcast Extras
Hi guys,
There have been some really interesting podcasts recently which would be great extra reading(listening) for section B of G322 (that's the exam for Lukas). I have listed a summary here for each one. All are from ther Radio 4 Film Programme and can be downloaded following this link...
Radio 4 Film Programme Podcasts
13th February 2014 - 12 minutes in
Charles Gant (a film industry analyst) looks at how films vary in success in different regions. Specific examples include the huge US/UK flop of The Lone Ranger, which was actually really successful in Japan and Pacific Rim which was really popular in China, as well as About Time, a Ruichard Curtis film, that was huge in South Korea. This example is elaborated on by Tim Bevan, co-chairman of Working Title. This is particularly important at the monment as we start to look at audiences. Quoting him in your answers (where relevant) would be a very good idea.
16th February 2014 - from start
This is the BAFTA special podcast. There is quite an interesting discussion about what it means to be a British film. There is also a good sound byte from Alfonso Cuaron (director of Gravity) as part of it.
Enjoy.
