AS Revision Activities
Aside form using everything on this blog, repeatedly, you mean? And the Audiences and Institutions pack?
Okay...
REPRESENTATION:
Choose a short extract from a recent British TV drama and write an essay analysing the rpepresentation of one of the following groups of your choic with reference to:
Pete, the Chief Examiner, says introductions don't often afford candidates many opportunities for marks so feel free to omit an introduction if you so choose. HOWEVER, I have seen some great introductions in the past where candidates have managed to establish a clear focus and provide a theoretical grounding to their answer in just a few sentences and gone on to absolutely storm it.
Some candidates also find an introduction helps them get their ideas in order. Up to you. Whatever works for you as individuals. This spec is all about YOU and finding the best ways for YOU to express yourselves. It is one of the reasons OCR are so popular and respected. It is a really good spec.
AUDIENCES AND INSTITUTIONS:
Use the past papers and try to answer the questions.
Create mind maps for all the planned answers you've got.
Go over your plans.
Use everything with the label audiences and institutions on this blog.
have a look at the Wikipedia entry for your chosen case studeis - how could you improve it? What information do YOU now that they haven't included in the Wiki entry. (WARNING: if you also go with 'what is on Wikipedia I didn;t know', be prepared to have some of it turn out to be palpably false).
Want to do an audiences and institutions practice question and have me mark it? Hand in to me by end of day Friday.

AS Theorists HOMEWORK PART UN
You'll have seen this in class p5, so if you're looking at it it before the lesson and thinking you;ve forgotten something, you haven't. Just me being organised. And a little bored. More topics than pupils so, hopefully, we'll be able to give everyone a choice in their top three.
You need to do the following tasks:
1) A presentation using whatever media format you like (including vlog if you wish) on the theory, what it is, what it means, and how it applies in general to Media Studies; then
2) if you can, extend your presentation to apply the theoy/concept to representation in British TV drama; and then / or
3) if you can, extend your presentation to apply the theory/concept to the film industry and/or the films you are researching for your Section B case studies. It can be any stage of the process from production to exhibition. Probably lots you can do just on marketing. And a lot could be applied to the notion of the audience too.
All can (and must) do part one, and depending on what you choose, you might be able to do part 2 or 3 or maybe even both (some of them can be applied to both).
These must be posted to your blogs by Thursday 9th Feb.
The choices were (I'll add your names next to each one when you've chosen):
1) POST STRUCTURAL THEORIST - Jacques Derrida, looking specifically at his notions of 'difference', 'violent hierarchies', 'Edenic nature' and 'fallen culture'.
2) POST STRUCTURAL THEORIST - Jacques Lacan, looking specifically at his notions of 'lack', 'the mirror phase' and his Freudian roots.
3) MARXIST THEORIES - A general piece of research on the general principles of Marxist cultural theory;
4) MARXIST THEORIST - Theodor Adorno and his concept of 'the culture industry';
5) MARXIST THEORIST - Louis Althusser and his specific interpretation and theory of 'ideology';
6) MARXIST THEORIST - Antonio Gramsci and his concept of 'the organic intellectual';
7) MARXIST THEORIST - Mikhail Bakhtin and his theory of 'the carnivalesque';
8) MARXIST THEORIST - Herbert Marcuse and his theory of 'the one dimensional man';
9) FEMINIST THEORIST - Laura Mulvey and her concepts of 'visual pleasure and the male gaze';
10) FEMINIST THEORIST - Janice Radway and 'Reading Romance';
11) FEMINIST THEORIST - Ien Wang's 'Watching Dallas';
12) POSTMODERNIST THEORIST - J-F Lyotard and 'The Post Modern Condition'
13) POSTMODERNIST THEORIST - Jean Baudrillard and his concepts of 'hyper-reality' and 'the simulacrum';
14) POSTMODERNIST / MARXIST THEORIST - Frederic Jameson and his concept of the 'consumer society'
15) POSTMODERNIST THEORY - What is postmodernism and what is meant by the 'plurality of value'?

Representation
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b015b07f/River_City_27_09_2011/
Represetnation of gender question. DUE NEXT THURSDAY (yes, same day as your presentations - welcome to AS Level work loads).
Try not to watch the link too many times if you fancy giving yourself more of a challenge.
Representation presentation groups for THURSDAY presentation:
Age - Oliver and co
Gender - Umut and co
Sexuality - Harrys and co
Class and Social Status - Stevie and co
Regional Identity - Jess and co
Disability / Ability - Ben and co
Choose one or a range of BRITISH television dramas and present an analysis of how your given topic is represented. It will last at least ten minutes and will include video clips or still images. Please note: a ten minute video clip will not suffice - you want to find specific examples which illustrate your points. Still images are probably easier to deal with.
