Strongest and weakest questions

Strongest: Question 2- this may have been my strongest question because my answer was well structured and organised, and I used a vast amount of media knowledge and applied it onto the question.

Weakest: Question 3- this was because I had gaps in media knowledge that was needed to be applied to this question.

7) Re-write your weakest answer in full. Use the mark scheme to identify anticipated content you can add to your response and make sure your typed re-draft is a top-level answer.

Genre is important for audiences for the following reasons: through the conventions of  a specific genre, they can decide whether they enjoy the genre or not and can use genre from one film as a reference to decide whether or not they will enjoy future movies from that genre or not. For example, from watching the movie 'The Fault In Our Stars' (a teenage romance), an audience can decide whether or not they would enjoy a future movie such as 'Paper Towns', which employs the same genre.
Media producers also find genre important for the following reasons: by utilising key aspects of genre that have been proven to be enjoyed by audiences, it is more likely for their media texts to become a success. As stated by Abercrombie: "media producers set out to exploit genre conventions; it makes economic sense".

Audience theory Task

1) Read this  Mail Online article about the effects of videogames . How does this article link to the hypodermic needle model?  The article published by mail online (a media outlet apart of the daily mail) is heavily linked with the hypodermic needle theory mainly due to the fact that the article adds to the belief that video games are linked to aggression, the way the article has been written would suggest to parents that allowing their child to play such games could lead to them being aggressive when they're older 2) How does coverage of the Talk Talk hacking case (see Daily Mail front page below) link to the hypodermic needle model? Why might someone  criticise  this front page?   The front page of the daily mail article around the talk talk hacking case is a perfect example of the hypodermic needle theory. On the front page of the Daily Mail (a right-wing media outlet) article, there were keywords used that suggest that they want to inject certain images and beliefs on cer

1) Complete the questions in the first activity box (beginning with 'Do you play violent games? Are you violent in real life?') a)  Do you play violent video games and/or watch violent films? Are you violent in ‘real life’? I do play violent video games, and watch violent movies often, I do not believe that I am violent. b) Do you ever see a product advertised on TV or on the internet and decide you want to buy it?

There are multiple documentaries that have drawn my attention to serious matters around the world, very recently I watched a documentary about the Rohingya  Muslim crisis, the documentary brought my attention to what truly was happening. 2) What are the four c

Representing ourselves: blog task

1) Read the article and summarise each section in one sentence, starting with the section 'Who are you?' Who are you?: With most things we do, we try to create a perception of ourselves, whether it be online or in person. I think, therefore I am: In the past we were constricted to multiple different social aspects to define who we are as people and our social roles. But with the development of the digital age we all have a voice and oppurtunity to become something more. The rise of the individual: In the second half of the 20th century people began to try and be more individual and to be unique. Advertisers took advantage of this mindset and create advertisements that would state their products could help people find and select their individuality. Branding and Lifestyle: In the 70's and 80's the importance of brands began to rise, this led to producers to sell a perosnality they associated with that brand. Who will we be ?: Due to the rise of th
