EXAM PRACTISE - Representation

Hi guys!

By now I assume in good faith, that your Media Studies revision is in full swing.

Please remember that I am available to check essays and answer questions anytime. Just email/ txt me and we can make a time.

Here is a TV Drama clip that you can use for revision of REPRESENTATION. Remember you will be viewing an unseen clip on Saturday. Your approach should be as follows, as we have discussed in class;

1. Determine what kind of TV Drama you are presented with and explain briefly how you came to that conclusion (eg. if it is set in a hospital, say it is a hospital drama and you know that BECAUSE it is set in a hospital setting, cast are doctors and patients etc).

2. Work out immediately what group of society are represented and what overall meaning is created in the way the clip is put together.

3. Work your way through the 4 MAIN TECHNICAL ELEMENTS describing with CORRECT TERMINOLOGY what camera angles, sound, mise-en-scene and editing techniques are used and WHAT EFFECT that has, what meaning it creates.

If you follow this formula and go in depth in analysing, you will pass well.

Please have a practise with this (aiming for 15 mins of note-taking and 45 minutes of essay writing).

Email me your essays when you're done.

All the best! Praying for you guys!
T-Bianca
