1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential).

2) Read the whole mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Identify at least one potential point that you missed out on for each question in the assessment (even if you got full marks for the question).


Q2) Branding on Poster and DVD package.


Q3) Representations portray both sides. Favouring the West - Capitalist, supermarket scene. Hero is East German reflecting communist and socialist valued.
3) The first question demanded a response using postmodern terminology. Write a definition here of the three main terms:


Bricolage: The difference between old and new texts.
Pastiche: A style that imitates another work or period.
Intertextuality: Referencing other media texts in a media product.

4) The second question was on the film industry. Write down two points from the mark scheme about Chicken's promotion and distribution that you didn't include in your answer. 


Micro budget film struggle when blockbusters are dominating the global market as they are owned by major conglomerates.


Promotion included a combination of traditional methods of trailer and poster, but aspects of new/digital media with social media and BBC's Mark Komode review online.
5) Look over your mark, teacher comments and the mark scheme for Question 3 - the 25 mark essay question on your TV Close-Study Products. Write a complete essay plan for this question based on the suggested answers in the mark scheme. You can either use something similar to your actual answer or alternatively start from scratch. Make sure it is an extensive, detailed plan focused on the question (representations) and offering specific references to Capital and Deutschland 83 for each section. Try and cover the two texts equally if you can and aim to plan around 5-6 paragraphs in total.


Stereotypes throughout the show. The banker family are  rich, white, middle class, snobbish, 'you'd be surprised how far a million actually goes. Rest of the residents would have their lives changed if they had that. Gender age gap in the banking industry. Most of the people are white, middle aged, and barely any women is seen throughout. Rise in feminism and equality of the amount of sexes in the workplace rising in 2015. So may not be that accurate, no signal of women working in banking industry, no signs of feminism being promoted which was prominent in 2015.

talk about having left-wing bias views . Promote illegal workers in a positive way, Daily Mail - a right-wing newspaper - would say otherwise. But does promote capitalist values, which is a positive - right-wing ideology. Show has balance? Cultural context of people having to work long hours when living costs rise in London. Show doesn't full reflect true representations as it sees everyone in a positive way.

The different Representation of East and West. Differences in social living standards. Coffee a luxury in West but commodity in East. The american pop song "Sweet Dreams" was played in supermarket scene. But exaggeration by using Pastiche - postmodernism - representations not real when trying to curate the time period as exaggerated.

Capitalist values in West and the differences in the East shown by Martin as he is from a communist and socialist background. Karl Marx influential in the East, Martin lets the student keep the book. This shows the luxury of education, where books are hard to find in the East and expensive, so they have to buy them on the black market.
