Film Industry assessment learner response

1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential).

-EBI:-Basic errors and unclear points throughout in the easiest assessment to revise for (only one CSP and one key concept-industries).Some serious work required in future.

2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Write down the number of marks you achieved for the three questions: If you didn't achieve full marks in a question, write a bullet point on what you may have missed.

-1/3; 3/6; 4/9.

3) For Question 2 on the promotion of Blinded By The Light, use the mark scheme to identify at least one strategy used to promote the film that you didn't mention in your answer and why it was used. The key lesson from this question was to make specific reference to the CSP in your answer and ensure each explanation was different.

-Social Media: blinded by the light could use social media to make the younger generation know about the film and when it would have come out.

4) Now look at Question 3 - focusing on Hesmondhalgh's point that making media products is a 'risky business'. Write three bullet points from the mark scheme that you could have added to your answer. Try and include a specific reference to the CSP where you can and ensure you understand the key contexts to Hesmondhalgh's quote. Additional reference to Hesmondhalgh's ideas would help here too - you may want to look back at our work on Hesmondhalgh and the Cultural Industries.

-Blinded By The Light cost $15 million to make but there was only $18 million made in the box office and after all the expense were made they were only left with $3 million in profit.the movie made a huge loss mainly because the film yesterday was also released at he same time and this gained all the attention and was the movie that got famous.

mise en scene analysis

Image
  1) Find a distinctive   still image   and write an analysis of the mise-en-scene. Use each of the aspects you've learned in the lesson. -The windows of his car have bullets holes in them, which may show that bad guys are after him and are trying to kill him. The man in the far right corner with a gun has connotations that he is the bad guy trying to kill the innocent man driving the car. The gold light shining on the man in the car shows him to be the main character and he is a nice man as he is so is the centre of attention.
