ChairmanMao:
Anyone prepared for it?

Narrative - I still need to get a clear understanding of it.
Social Values - think I'm pretty set on this. Priscilla, Queen of the Desert ftw. gays, sensitive topic.
Media Influence - could do with some more improvements - for the exam I think I might pick two different communication theories rather than bullet/uses&gratifications to 'interest' the examiner. I really really think there might be something on media censorship this year.

hahaha Mao you may as well just say hey shilayli. Cos we're basically the only two on here who do media.

I'm feeling alright about the exam. I like how it's last cos then we have ages to prepare for it. It's annoying cos I have to watch all these films and tv shows again. It can get so boring. I'm most worried about story elements in narrative and regulation in media influence.. What films are you doing for narrative btw? At least you're lucky you're doing a film for social values we're analysing a whole series... 26 episodes to watch. fml.

I'm not sure about choosing theories to interest the examiner. They usually say just stick to the tried and tested answers otherwise you could be playing with fire so to speak. The main four at the lecture they said to use were: bullet, uses and grat, reinforcement, and agenda setting function. + post-modernism if you're really into it haha.

Slumdawg:
Have you done any practice exams yet? If so. How did you go on them?

Finally had my media influence sac last week. God my teacher was so goddam slow.

How have your sac scores been btw, if you don't mind me asking :)

ChairmanMao:
Hahaha, indeed shilayli. yeah, i dont think anyone apart from us goes on here.

We're doing Run Lola Run & Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for narrative - ESSM is particularly difficult for me. -sigh- I got 3 days in between my history revolutions exam and media. I think i'll do alright.

We've done one trial exam under exam conditions at school, boy did I do bad. He modified the exam so it was out of 55 and I got 41, losing most of my marks in section A- worth 15 marks. Social Values & Media Influence I lost very few marks together in total - pretty set on those sections. But I'm worried about section C being extended response this year.. shit.

My SAC scores have been B+ standard. I don't remember the scores because the teacher kept it and told us once. But it was B+ standard for sure. :P How are you? Mr.#1 Sac Ranking? LOL
26 episodes? LOL what bloody text are you studying?

True, I think I'll apply the KISS - keep it simple, stupid methodology in my answers. Bullet/Uses&Grat it is.

Slumdawg:
Yer eternal sunshine would be tricky. It seems really complex, but at least it's good to watch!

haha Well I've got #1 ranking with like 4 other people cos they're all really good at media and don't seem to drop any marks haha. So it will all come down to the exam for who gets the top result I guess.

It's bewitched season 1. Argh... It's painful to watch. But it's pretty easy to study there's like 5 different social values in every episode so there's heaps to choose from. One girl at the lecture was like "my film only has like 3 social values in the whole thing!".. That would suck haha.

I've only done 1 practice exam so far which was the insight one which we had to do at school, so I'm gonna have a go at a vcaa one in a couple of days..
