- Main focus is to revise our set texts and understand them properly why their choices of representation were made and how they challenge.
Question 3
1 2 3
1. Cover all areas of Liar
2. Cover contextual issues
3. Cover theory
Intro
- Context produced + consumed
KE context production + consumption - theory
LP context production +consumption - theory
Para 2
- intertextuality
KE link to LIAR, Contexts and theory
LP link to LIAR, Contexts and theory
Para 3
- intertextuality Genre, contexts and theory
KE link to genre (MI5) , Contexts, LIAR and theory
LP Link to Genre (Lupin gentleman burglar) , Contexts, LIAR and Theory
Can have extra paragraphs such as intertextual references to representation KE subverts them with using huge stars like Sandra oh and LP kept traditional stereotypes and used genre to pull an audience
My Plan
Intro - All make a pre-judgement on wether the set texts needed intertextuality to appeal to an audience (In this case YES)
Open with he context of production of both KE and LP and explain how the audience consumed it and then apply theory.
Para 2 - Intertextuality (Setting)
KE used media language to show intertextual references explain what context it fit in how the audience appeal to it and apply theory
LP used media language to show intertextual references explain the context fits the audience appeal to it and apply theory
Para 3 - Intertextuality (Genre)
para 4 conclusion
Production context - KE, BBC America then BBC 3 PSB remit BBC known for making Dramas. METOO movement was at an all time high. Used Sandra Oh famous actress known for her work in Dramas (Grey's anatomy) also big in the USA theory - Hesmondhalgh.
LP, Netflix during 2020 covid Lockdown smaller budget audience seeked new shows to watch and appealed to international shows. minimised risk using a popular genre and followed the codes and conventions theory - Hesmondhalgh or Hall representation theory lack of representation of other social groups.
Intertextual references
Symbols/images of iconic places KE and UK LP Paris popular locations Paris Louvre and Banileue slums
Genre - Heist and spy thriller Heist - ocean 11 Spy Thriller - James Bond. Codes and Conventions- repeated
Non - intertextual references representation of certain things and how the audience appeal to it.
Do Now
1. Main point in butler is gender performativity
2. a point of Butler is how it focuses on how gender roles are represented and wether they are sterotypical or more subverted and how impactful their roles are. heteronormativity and not fitting in create gender trouble.
3. main point of Gilroy is post-colonism and its effect on media and mainly focuses on demonising certain groups/areas
4. using white western ideologies and keep them through media leading to demonising other cultures.
Limitations of both is LFTVD application and focuses on just one area is slightly reductionist and doesn't take the whole picture into consideration.
Question 4
Intro - detail the theory and the elements and ideas that make up theory
para 2 - Link element 1 to KE and LP
Para 3 - Link element 2 to KE and LP. (Might not have enough for 3 paragraphs but try n break it
down as much a possible.)
Para 4 - Link element 3 to Ke and LP
Para 5 - make a conclusion displaying the positives as well as limitations to the theory.
Bulter is a representation theorist and purposes a view on representation on gender. Butler says that gender identity isn't something we are born with but. instead developed via social performances. How gender performativity can support or challenge the heteronormative binary roles on society as well as the stereotypical gender roles society has and also what it is like to not fit the stereotypes and roles and how it creates gender trouble.
PPE Feedback
Q1. Have not time to plan but with the first paragraph DEFINE the theory and try and break it down into 3 sections.
Para 1:
Bell Hooks - feminism, intersectionality and oppositional gaze.
Para 2:
Apply the theory to Source A breakdown the cover and pick out one thing then apply the theory
- Daily mail lack of racial rep no intersectionality
Para 3:
if possible try and apply the same thing to source B as if it is a either a positive usage or a lack of usage of the theory.
- to an extent of intersectional rep with race
Para 4:
Same again if there is a multiple parts to the theory we can use that but in the case of bell hooks use intersectionality again but rather then race we can look gender stereotype or class
- Intersectionality gender rep is weak and stereotypical
Para 5:
Same as para 3 either oppose or support the use of theory in the cover
- Intersectionality also is quite weak creating the binary.
Para 6:
Conclusion on what source A and source B have done according to the question.
Q2. Cover the bullet points as a plan for the answer being able to cover all of them in the answer in depth.
- Explain
- analyse
- Judgement
Q3. Needed to cover more economical factors
- Cover price increase and the guardian don't show their circulation figures anymore.
- No paywall as many have but donations from the Guardian and then the membership from the mail.
- BBC are funded by Tv licence fee so no need to have adverts but instead the Guardian as well as TDM need.
- TDM cover celebrity news due to its appeal and pull more readers in to make an income and due to the Guardian being owned by Scotts Trust they publish important news rather then primarily celebrity news.
Q4. evaluate the theory and apply it to its usage to news.
