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

[clinton_09]

I'm going to start media study probaly tonight by re watching psycho and shine for narrative. And then i'll be doing a lot of questions from checkpoints but with a heavy focus on social values because thats the one im least confident with. And then prob mid to end of the week when my confidence is up i'll start doing full exams within timed conditions.

Dude, we are the people that VCE Media is counting on, and we have all bombed out! Haha. I'm slightly motivated for Media, but i'll get more into it when it's my only exam left. At the moment i am immersed in History for the exam on Thursday, but i have been doing a fraction of Narrative study. I watched my films, and am now finalising my notes before beginning some trial questions - what more can we do anyway? I think the majority of our knowledge for Media, in particular Narrative, will just emerge on the day. As for Media Influence, we may need to now our stuff lol.

[sisqo1111]

yeh definitely agreed.
media influence is where we really need to know our stuff!
the other two, we can sorta fluke our way i guess. as in, for narrative, i could exaggerate on something or something along those lines lol.

[Amnesiac]

Exactly. I've found from revising Narrative that doing practice questions is probably best, because you can't memorise a handful of examples for each Prod and Story Element. It's just to hard. The examples just tend to flow out as you are completely the question or planning it. I think Social Values shouldn't be to difficult. It's not a very big AOS, unlike Narrative and Media Influence which are rather lengthy.

[sisqo1111]

yeh, i find that when i do narrative questions the examples just come into mind and onto paper lol.
social values isn't so hard to write about so that should be okay.
im most worried about media influence, cause you got to know factual information lol

I'm doing the insight 08 exam and one of the questions for social values is:

Identify how social values from the production period have shaped the content of other text/s that you also studied this year.

  is this asking you to refer to another text other than your social values one?
Hopefully i'm reading this wrong.. lol.. don't really have another text for social values up my sleeve!

mmm i had that question on the SAC.. but i guess my teacher just wanted us to refer to our social values text.... did you watch those Big M commericals or anything like that? you could use those.. but i think the question is just worded funny... check the soultions if u have them...

[sisqo1111]

hey what are we all doing for media influence revision?
i think im just gonna know 4 theories in detail. some examples for each and adv/disadv
positive/negative influence media has had
regulation of media content

anything else?

[clinton_09]

thats what i'll prob be doing

[sisqo1111]
