MEDIA EXAM!!!!!!!!!!!

[sexc_tissa]

Sisiqo I bet you will u have shown you knew a good deal about the study design

Yeah some of them wete worded werd and I had to re read over and over.. In reading time when I read the define reception context my jaw dropped (literally) and I freaked out im like omg what is it! Lol

Hope we all do good =) please 40+ too lol

[clinton_09]

WOO HOO all over, im fairly happy with how i went, i just want 40+ scaled

I think i went great as well. Hopefully i didn't lose any marks on Social Values and Media Influence because i nailed those, but i left Narrative until last. I just had enough to time to complete the essay before pens down, but i didn't go into enough detail on my second texts' opening and closure (even though i wrote 4 pages lol). After that i had like 1 minute to go back and answer the reception context question (part b) but i only got to fill up half the space. In essence, i probably got about an 8/12 on that extended response and 2/4 on the reception questions, but aside from that i don't think i would've lost that many marks. I wrote into the extra space for a number of questions, but found myself repeating some of my examples for Social Values. However, they were all great questions and i never struggled on writing down information; it was just about getting it out in time! In the extended response my head was full of all these great ideas, but i could only partially put them down on paper and hence they probably lost a bit of their awesomeness lol.

Anywho, enough ranting about Media... Exams are over! I'm going to go and get extremely drunk !!

I will be back on December 15 to discuss our results! Haha. It's been a great year discussing Media related information with you Clinton and Sisqo!! I hope we all go tremendously well!

Much love, xox

I have never heard of the term 'reception (receptive?) context' in my life before. I am devastated.

[millstone]

Reception context refers to how an audience member receives a text. i.e. Whether at home on a small screen or at the theater on a large screen with surround sound.

[amyminchin]

I thought reception context wasn't only the physical setting of the audience but also the emotional and cultural context? i dont really know, i just remember tlkaing about it for like 10mins at the start of the year and then not speaking about it again...

[clinton_09]

^^ thats exactly what i remember, doing 10 minutes start of the year and thats all

[sexc_tissa]

yeah time was definetely a factor when trying to complete all those questions...
i had to go into more detail on my second texts closure and opening too but i didnt have enough time so i ushed it.. im hping at least 6-7/12 for that one.. social values i think i did better than my SAC but im sure ill bomb out lol

[Amnesiac]

Seeing as though the majority of the state wouldn't know reception context i think they'll give a mark to anyone who partially got it correct

[Rahat]

i think i made a dodgy mistake for Amelie in terms of reception context and i said that the fact tht the film was in french cud alter peoples understanding of the narrative and relation to the characters but it also at the same time aided the reception becoz the film was set in paris and it added to the atmosphereof the narrative.

TOTALLY wrong?

[Amnesiac]

Mmm i'm not sure. I would've just been safe and said that because you viewed it in a classroom environment on a television it hinders your ability to analyse the production and story elements because they aren't completely enhanced. That's what i wrote anyway, but it wasn't a very good question. You probably would've got a few marks for your answer because the fact that it is in french is a legitimate reason why it would effect the audiences reception of it.
