Section A intro and how to write a point

Intro: IN _______________________ THE TECHNICAL CODES/FEATURES ARE COMBINED TO CONSTRUCT THE REPRESENTATION OF ________________.


Point: White characters are represented as powerful.   (who and adjective at the end)


3 body paragraphs:
P
E  (editing) For example.....
A   This shows/connotes/illustrates/signifies........
E  (sound)
A
E  (MES)
A
E  (CAM SAMC)
A
L  This is a reinforced stereotype of white people because......


Top level tips:
-contrast and compare the similarities and differences of characters/settings
-make connections in technical codes  EA   EA   EA   EA  = connections between them? how do they work together to construct representation?
-level 4 = equal discussion of all 4
-range of key terms, accurate
-NUANCES - notice the background and think of the less obvious stereotypes/representations  (remember with down syndrome boy - he was stereotypical as he was slow, dependent, vulnerable but he was also quite cheeky and aware and able)

Added:
-DONT FORGET ABOUT SETTING - what does the setting suggest about the characters and how they're represented?
-EDITING & SOUND = remember the main terms!   They will ALWAYS APPLY
-you don't have to have fast paced/exciting lots of non diegetic music editing to talk about editing!!!!!!!  (sometimes it's slow and boring intentionally!) 

Notes:

-make notes in first 2 minutes, neatly after you read questions 5 times and underline key words in section b!
-do it fairly neat so you have enough space
-structure like below
-WRITE, WRITE, WRITE in the 2 min breaks!!!!!!!!!
-1st viewing = CONCENTRATE........think about STEREOTYPES
-2nd viewing - 25% writing
3rd - 50%
4th - 25%
-the 3 and 4th viewings and the breaks are to fill in the gaps in notes.......

Stereotypes (point)                 E                           S                              MES                        CAM SAMC



-put line through notes after complete

STOP WRITING AFTER 40 MINS.
-put 'running out of time'
-Example:
white girl - bossy and demanding, close of stern face, bossy tone, in suit, "Sit down and shutup!"
setting = strict office

 = enough for marks!


50 minutes section B = 3-5 min MAX for plan, then write, write write


20 EAA  (your understanding, your arguments, your points)
20 EG  (evidence and case studies)
10 T   (media terms)

____
50 each.
