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

[clinton_09]

^^ lol

i really haven't done much at all today. I pretty much know it all now, i think now its just red over notes and all that

[sisqo1111]

i think im in the same boat

although media influence i hate!

clinton would you be able to answer this question for me.
for example, when it asks analyse and evaluate the arguments both for and against a theory, what exactly are these arguments?

[clinton_09]

alright with a question like that you'd talk about the strengths and weaknesses of the theories. For instance the bullet/hypodermic thoery a weakness is not everyone behaves in the same manner and this is demonstrated when we look at War of the Worlds. Not eveyone in America feared for a Martian attack. After discussing that, you would then go on to the strengths of bullet theory. That being it is simple and easy to apply.

I would also crtitique the research used for the theories. i.e bullet theory research cannot be repeated as it is based on speculation.

i hope this has helped

[sisqo1111]

I'm just going over Media Regulation now because it is so boring and they will undoubtedly give us a heafty question on it.

I know where your coming from with your previous question Sisqo - it's been on a lot of exams, but isn't actually that hard.

[sisqo1111]

Media regulation is my favourite part of media influence lol!

[Amnesiac]

Lol really? It's so boring!

[clinton_09]

haha i hate media regulation and its the thing i hardly know about, worst thing is its destined to be on the exam.

Im gonna go over it again 2moro morning and thats all i'll do fro 2moro

[Amnesiac]

Yeah good idea Clinton, i'm going to do a small amount of study tomorrow too. Mainly on audience reception for Narrative and the whole Media Violence debate for Media Influence. I just went over Media Regulation a few hours ago so it's all fresh in my head so it should be ok.

[thelovecatsx]

I'm hoping for a small mark question on regulation this year. I don't find the topic too bad but I'm more confident writing about theories of media influence. Not going to be happy if there's a similar question to that 2007 one.

As for studying, going to spend a little bit more on social values tonight (watching my awful text again.. eugh) then going to do a small bit of revision tomorrow morning.

[Amnesiac]

Hey lovecats i don't think there will be any extended answers this year. Just by looking at the cover sheet it says that there is 4 questions for each section, so i'm predicting that they have changed the format a little bit.

[clinton_09]

^^ ooh that would be interesting, i hope you're right

[Amnesiac]

Me too lol. Well, think about it. If there are 4 questions, how could they have room for an extended response anywhere without making the 3 predecessors extremly small? Hopefully they've realised that they are making these exams to long, and will hopefully shorten it for us lol. Or perhaps they have put semi-extended answers in each section, thus allowing for consistency among all 3 areas :|

[sisqo1111]

OMG Amnesiac, if your right about no extended response, Oh lol.
During reading time ill be trying to send you thank you messages LOL.
Extended response are the worst cause then you have to plan it out and make sure you miss nothing.
Please let there be no extended response
