Exam Question preperation
In lesson today we looked at exam questions and how we can apply some theories to the questions that we could face in the actual exam.
Section A - 1 hour 2 x 25 mark questions = 50 marks
Question 1A - You don't have to talk about theories and the progress you make from AS to A2.
Question 1B - You have to analyse one of your productions, and answer a question while adding in one of the theories.
Question 1A
Always asked about progress from AS to A2 and it could include topics such as:
Question 1B
Apply theories of one of the areas below to one of your productions. We could get asked a question on any of the below and we need to choose one of our productions to answer the question on. Will never be asked on two of these only one.
Genre: An agreed set of features, conventions and meanings which are understood by both producer and audience and can be either fulfilled or subverted by producers. All genres have sub genres.
The video is conventional in the sense that it has a low saturated effect to make the video look quite plain and rustic (which fits in with the bands indie- rock genre) ,also the video has a narrative and a storyline. It is unconventional in the sense that it doesn't contain much lip-syncing at all.
Theory One
Rick Altman (1999) argued that genre offers audiences a set of pleasures. One set was Emotional Pleasures, the emotional pleasure offered to audiences is particularly significant when it generates a strong audience response. The second set is 'Visceral Pleasures', these are a 'gut' response and are defined by how the film has a physical effect on the audience. The third set is 'Intellectual pleasure' these offer the pleasure of having to work something out and unravel a plot, these are most common in thriller films.
