The document models how the response should be structured for each part of the question.
Misé en scene elements
Mise en scene refers to elements that establish the time and location of a film scene. Key elements include the setting, costumes, props, makeup, lighting, and positioning of actors. Together these elements provide context and help tell the story through visual means rather than dialogue. For example, westerns are typically set in the American Midwest to reflect the historical setting of cowboys, while sci-fi films may be set in space to feature other worlds or space travel. Costumes also help indicate the time period of a scene or character traits, and lighting, body language, and positioning can convey mood or a character's role.

Peer Assessment
The peer feedback provided suggestions to improve the magazine cover drafts:
1. Use a close-up portrait to show emotion and make eye contact with the audience. Include a visible price and use different font styles creatively.
2. Show more work leading up to the cover design. The pictures lack professionalism and the magazine looks empty without a color scheme. Make the masthead bigger and try a different font.
3. The blog research and draft ideas were good but the cover seems bland without more effects on the writing or an enlarged barcode and distinct price and date.
4. The blog research quality was high but the cover is lacking a date, title, price and headline to make it

Preliminary Task Review
Jim Kite designed a front cover and contents page for a sixth form magazine as a preliminary assignment. For the front cover, he chose a sans serif masthead in white and red, and a black and white mid-shot of a posed model in a suit. Cover lines about hair, beards, and an interview were used to entice readers. A black, white, and red color scheme was selected. The contents page included a grid layout and montage of images with witty cover stories. Photoshop was used to enhance the cover photo and position text, though some challenges were encountered.
Evaluation
Declan Cook evaluates his magazine cover and contents page that he created using Photoshop and Quark. He identifies several ways his cover challenges conventions by not having a solid color background and clustering the cover lines in one corner. His contents page follows conventions by including the front cover, date, issue number and a three-column layout. However, weaknesses include clashing colors on the cover and a lack of design skills in Quark, which made the contents page look unprofessional. Overall, he was able to center objects in Photoshop but needs more practice with layout and design programs.

3. For each question, guidance is given on the command term being asked and the number of marks available. Key terms and theories are defined to help explain techniques like stereotyping and apply concepts to the questions.
Film and TV
This document provides an overview of key concepts in film and television studies. It outlines various textual and representation areas that are analyzed, such as language, technical elements, gender, age, social groups and ethnicity. It also summarizes several influential media theories, including those of Stuart Hall on encoding/decoding, Richard Dyer on stereotyping, and Laura Mulvey's concept of the male gaze. Finally, it lists different technical aspects of film and TV like mise en scene, sound, camera and editing, and provides links to additional resources on some of these topics.
Effects of Representations
Media representations can have both positive and negative effects on individuals, groups, and society. They can influence attitudes and behaviors through copycat behavior, education and information, socialization, objectification, and stereotypes. Representations can reinforce dominant ideologies but also potentially challenge them. The media is an effective vehicle for spreading dominant worldviews to wide audiences.
Dominant Ideologies Intro
Dominant ideologies in society include patriotism, family values, consumerism, religion, age, gender, class, and politics. The dominant ideology regarding women portrayed them in magazines as focused on beauty, appearance, and dieting in the 1900s-1950s and 1970s-now with an emphasis on slimness. Dominant ideologies are supported by the media like magazines, films, TV, music videos, advertisements, computer games, and newspapers to appeal to wide audiences and make people feel normal.
Constructing Representations (technical areas)
This document provides information and writing frames to analyze various media texts and how they construct representations that conform to dominant ideologies or genre expectations. It discusses analyzing film, TV, music videos, games, print media, and advertisements by referencing technical elements like mise-en-scene, camerawork, editing, sound, and layout and relating them to theories like the male gaze, stereotypes, reception theory, and moral panic. Sample writing frames are provided to demonstrate analyzing how meanings are created in specific texts through technical elements and applying relevant communication theories.
Baudrillard
Jean Baudrillard was a philosopher whose work analyzed how living in a postmodern, media-saturated environment shapes perceptions of reality. His concept of "simulacra" described how media representations of reality become exaggerated simulations that audiences may mistake for the real. Baudrillard argued that media coverage of events like wars presents a hyperreal version that distorts understanding of actual realities and priorities. His theories remain influential in analyzing how media constructs and influences perceptions of gender, sexuality, and current affairs.
Theory Continued
This document provides an overview of media representation theory and concepts for exam practice. It discusses key theories such as how media representations reflect the ideology and values of the producer. It also addresses how audiences can interpret representations in both passive and active ways and may be impacted both positively and negatively by media effects. Examples of potential impacts include copycat behavior, education, socialization, objectification, and reinforcement or challenging of dominant ideologies.
Basic Theories
This document provides an overview of media representation theory. It discusses key concepts from theorists such as Stuart Hall on encoding/decoding, Richard Dyer on stereotyping, and Laura Mulvey on the male gaze. Mulvey's theory suggests that media often sexualizes and objectifies women as objects of desire for a heterosexual male gaze through scopophilia, voyeurism, and exhibitionism. The document also covers audience effects theories, representation areas like gender and ethnicity, and technical elements of different media like film, advertising, gaming, and magazines.
Audience Positioning Unit 1 Representations
The document discusses how audiences are positioned when consuming media texts. It identifies several elements that help define audience positioning, including the camera position, mode of address, and whether the gaze is from a male or female perspective. It provides examples of different modes of address and the implied audience roles and relationships that result. The document also discusses reception theory and how audiences can have preferred, negotiated, or oppositional readings of media texts. It concludes by defining open, closed, and polysemic texts and how they allow for varying levels of interpretation.
Audience Positioning and Media Effects
The document provides guidance on how to structure essay responses to higher-level exam questions. It recommends starting with a short introduction to define key terms, planning the main points with references to theory and terminology, using examples from multiple media texts to illustrate each point, writing each point fully while being time-aware, and concluding by summarizing the key points and answering the question. It also provides an example question, marking criteria, and suggests choosing opposing newspaper representations of reality to analyze.
Target Audience
The document discusses how media producers define and categorize audiences. It explains that producers research audiences to learn about their age, gender, ethnicity, location and other attributes. This research informs how producers create media texts that will appeal to target audiences. The document also contains quizzes and tasks about defining audiences for different media products based on these demographic and psychographic factors.
Stranger Things Screen Shots
The document appears to be about the Netflix original series Stranger Things based on screenshots from the show. It seems to contain images from various scenes and episodes to showcase the characters, settings, and atmosphere of the science fiction/horror themed show about a group of friends who encounter mysterious supernatural forces and secret government experiments in a small town in 1980s Indiana.
