Learner Response

1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential).
WWW: Some strong points and a good writing style for Question 3 
EBI: Revision is necessary, Postmodernism i'm was not attempted, lacks detail, examples and media terminology.

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).
Q1: Intertextuality was used through the referencing to different genres. The background is almost space (sci-fi); the silver symbol in the background alludes to comic books, the woman on the left suggests martial arts or kung fu movies
Q2: Chicken successfully used the film festival circuit to gather critical acclaim and build up positive publicity for the film.
Q3: All media production is conditioned by the dominant ideology, the value system and perceptions of reality, The contexts of production are more important and influential than any intent of the authors as it is impossible for the individual to transcend social and cultural contexts

3) The first question demanded a response using postmodern terminology. Write a definition here of the three main terms:

Bricolage: construction or creation from a diverse range of available things.
Pastiche: an artistic work in a style that imitates that of another work, artist, or period.
Intertextuality: the relationship between texts, especially literary ones, usually a reference to one another

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. 
Film festivals were vital in the promotion of the film as a awards and acclaim from influential industry figures helped to raise the profile of the film.
Social media was important in marketing the film- Chicken did not have a marketing budget beyond the creation of the trailer and poster so Facebook, Twitter and YouTube were vital in broadcasting and sharing trailers and information about the film
