This document outlines the steps for a homework assignment on analyzing reality television shows like Big Brother or social media platforms like Facebook from a postmodern perspective. Students are asked to: 1) Explain how their case study demonstrates postmodern features like non-linear narratives and simulation; 2) Compare their case study to traditional media forms; 3) Discuss how it challenges traditional relationships between texts and audiences; 4) Analyze how it enables audiences to behave differently than in the past; 5) Consider how it impacts representation; and 6) Identify arguments for and against their case study in terms of impacts and implications.
This document appears to be a quiz on postmodernism features and concepts. It asks the test taker to name postmodernism features and provide examples for each, including nothing is certain or fixed, fragmented narratives, genre hybrids, skepticism of grand theories, anti-foundationalism and non-realism, deconstruction and pessimism, loss of effect, hyperreality and simulation, virtuality and proliferation of images, intertextuality, pluralism, pastiche, hyperreality, and bureaucratization.
This document provides an overview of modernism and how it relates to technology. It defines key terms like modernism, modernity, capitalism, and industrialism. It discusses how the modern age was exemplified by new technologies and the changes they brought, like altered perceptions of time and space. Technologies like the automobile, telephone, and electricity created social change. Theories like Taylorism and Fordism focused on efficiency and analyzing production processes. The document also provides context on shifts to postmodernism and discusses what may have caused the collapse of modernism, like World War 2 and the challenges to science and technology.
This document outlines several key features of postmodernism that could be discussed in a short essay. It lists pomodality, hybridization/bricolage, intertextuality, voyeurism, self-reflexivity, non-linear narratives, dystopian narratives, flattened affect, hyperreality, nostalgia, and the blending of high and low art as important postmodern concepts. It also briefly introduces some influential postmodern theorists like Baudrillard, Foucault, Lyotard, Jameson, and Zizek. Finally, it provides potential topics and examples to illustrate several of the postmodern features in 3 paragraphs or less, such as exploring how the idea that nothing is original through the lens of remix culture
Periscope is a live streaming app that allows users to broadcast and watch live video streams from around the world. It raises issues of privacy as live streams can capture and broadcast people and locations without consent. It also enables piracy as streams of copyrighted content like TV shows and sporting events can be viewed without paying. However, it also has potential benefits for education by allowing virtual field trips and class participation for remote students. Journalists have also used it to live stream events like the refugee crisis in Europe.
This document outlines various technical skills needed for AS and A2 film production. It discusses skills related to pre-production like mind mapping, imagination, and teamwork. Production skills mentioned include filming, lighting, camera work, and photography. Post-production skills include editing video with Final Cut, organizing footage, adding sound, color grading, and transitions. Additional post-production skills involve photo manipulation with Photoshop and layout/design with InDesign. The skills required at A2 are described as more advanced versions of those in AS, with students expected to use a wider range of tools more proficiently.
The document discusses applying Michel Foucault's theories of power and surveillance to reality television shows. It argues that reality TV features complex power relationships, unlike traditional top-down media power models. Producers, audiences, and participants all exert power and are subject to the power of others through the acts of watching and being watched, similar to Foucault's panopticon model of dispersed indirect power. No single group has total control in reality TV's "complex strategic situation."
Over two years of study, the student developed important research and planning skills that contributed to creative decision making in media productions. At AS, the student analyzed conventions from online media texts to help plan an opening title sequence. Planning was presented using Emaze, which improved over time. Poor time management at AS negatively impacted productions, but skills strengthened at A2 with better delegation, organization, and prioritization. Improved planning allowed a clearer focus on creative vision through pre-production materials like storyboards and shotlists.

The lesson aims to help students understand some of the defining features of postmodernism.
Modernism emerged in the late 19th century and extended into the mid-20th century. It followed several artistic movements including Baroque, Rococo, Romanticism, and Realism. Modernism was characterized by an emphasis on individual expression, new technologies, and the application of rational thought to design. Some key aspects of Modernism included the Bauhaus school's emphasis on functional design inspired by mathematics and technology as well as artistic movements like Cubism that represented objects and people in abstract, fragmented ways. While Modernism led to mass production and economic growth, some argue it also enabled events like World Wars and the arms race that highlighted humanity's capacity for corruption and abuse of power.
This document contains a checklist of postmodern terms with columns to rate them as red, amber, or green. Some of the key postmodern terms on the list include non-linear narratives, self-reflexivity, artificialness and non-realism, intertextuality expressed through pastiche, parody and homage, and hybridization techniques like bricolage and juxtaposition. The document provides a way to assess different aspects of postmodernism using a traffic light rating system.
Modernism emerged in the late 19th century in response to industrialization and secularization, characterized by rationalization, capitalism, and new technologies that altered perceptions of time and space. Key aspects included efficiency, order, and faith in science and technology. Modernist art rejected realism and embraced new styles like cubism. However, modernism collapsed after World War 2 as faith in rationality, science, and social progress was shattered by events like the stock market crash, world war, and Holocaust. Postmodernism emerged and questioned modernism's assumptions through unconventional styles, challenging dominant ideologies, and celebrating underrepresented groups.

This document discusses various media theories and provides examples of evidence that could support or argue against each theory. It examines theories related to power and media industries, regulation of media industries, cultural industries, media audiences and effects, media language and representations, identity, gender, ethnicity, and post-colonial theory. For each theory, it lists what types of examples from news media may provide evidence for or against the validity of that theoretical perspective.
- The document summarizes several key media and cultural theorists and some of their main ideas. It discusses Roland Barthes' ideas about signs and myth in media texts. It also outlines Todorov's idea that narratives follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption, and new equilibrium. Additionally, it notes that Jenkins sees audiences as participatory cultures who create and share media rather than just consuming it.
This document provides instructions and information for an upcoming lesson on media theory. It includes tasks to be completed by students in groups. The key points are:
1. The lesson will focus on categorizing media theories and understanding basics of theoretical frameworks.
2. Students will be split into groups and assigned different theorists to research and present on, including Barthes, Todorov, and Bandura.
3. Tasks include creating a glossary of terms, and researching specific media theorists in order to teach the class.
4. Presentations on theorists should include their name, a definition of their theory, and an application to a media text.
Most texts presented in media position audiences to support a particular viewpoint through simple conflicts that drive the narrative. Modern audiences have difficulty distinguishing reality from simulated versions due to immersion in media. While genres repeat ideas and themes, they also evolve over time. All narratives follow a basic structure of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium, and restored equilibrium. Media texts use signs and codes to direct audience understanding and interpretation. Producers encode messages while audiences decode them as dominant, negotiated, or oppositional interpretations. Advances allow audiences to no longer be passive but influential in creating meaning.
This document provides an overview of key concepts and theorists in media theory, organized into four sections: media language, media representation, media industries, and media audiences.
