Yr10 End of year test

20/6/19

DIRT

L/O: To review and reflect on the yr10 mock exam and set personal targets. 

Q1) Ofcom

Regulators:

Film - BBFC

TV & Radio - OFCOM

Advertising - ASA

Magazines & Newspapers - IPSO & IMPRESS

Video Games - Video Standards Council

Q2) Media Language - Media language is the way in which the meaning of a media text is conveyed to the audience. One of the ways Media Language works is to convey meaning through signs and symbols suggested by the way a scene is set up and filmed. 

In this question I could have spoken about: 

Camerawork

Editing

Mise-en-scene

Narrative Style

I needed to name 1 part of media language that was used differently, a clear example of difference between the 2 videos and the effect. 

Could have talked about - Linear narratives, setting, contrasting camera work and editing, adding diegetic sound elements. 

Talk about in "Uptown Funk" its saturated colour and in "If i were a a boy" its in a monochrome tone. its in monochrome because it is used to show the sadness and emotional feel of the song, and in Uptown funk its saturated to show how upbeat the song is. 


Q3) I needed to use - How, Why & Examples. 

Ways to do this: Availability - more available on more common apps that the target audeince would use. 

Styles/genres played - what songs are played and when

Eras of music - depending on when you grew up and what genres you grew up with.

Target the audience through other services - national radio programmes may offer traffic reports

Brand image marekting and developing.

Why: 
You have to target a range of audiences.
Well defined audience

How Live Lounge does this:
Youthful presenters that appeal to the audience.
Authenticity of artists.

Q4) Talk about how they made specific choices 
Q5) Differences - Colour Palette, The Font, Masthead is bigger on MOJO, Layout

Similarities - Ranfge of musicians, language is addressful, Sans Serif font, mastheads and cover lines. 

Make the argument final point e.g I have to say what my opinion/main argument is and I need to concliude it througgh my main answer and then a conclusion.


In the music section of this exam i feel i have to remember the main bulk of what the target audiences of radio stations are, and how they appeal to these audiences. i also need to get better at magazine analysis, and i need to remember to talk about my music videos use of media language.
