Better organisation in notes
More detail in notes
Include proper introduction:  look at model!
The technical features in _____________________________  combine to construct the representation of _________________.
Should be 2-3 pages MINIMUM
At beginning of paragraphs, start with something like “The middle scene is set……..(briefly describe setting)……
Use connectives!
PEAL paragraphs
Point: make a point about how ability/disability is represented (stereotype)
Evidence: give evidence from clip
Analysis: explain it further, remember can link in all 4 categories here – discuss HOW and WHY they are represented in that way (this is where you can link the 4 categories together)…..remember your analytical connectives here: shows, suggests, connotes, illustrates etc.
Link: reinforced or challenged stereotype? Positive or negative?
More discussion on editing and sound: more complex terms 
Don’t make points and then not explain them  (   ^  annotation)
Some people didn’t give enough evidence from the clip (specific examples of what happened – but don’t go on too much)
Make more comparisons: etc. how are ben and david similar and different?  (how they look, act, treated, etc)
Read the examiner report! it gave tips!

audience stuff

Local & global audiences

-conglomerates dominate industry as they have most money and power

-this affects audiences as this shapes our values/perceptions/opinions 
(mostly American – cultural homogenization)

-conglomerates have power/money to make sure they are global success
          -big actors, directors
          -latest technologies (including spectacular CGI/special effects)
          -IMAX cinema  release
          -marketing – viral……social media……above & below the line….
          -synergies
         

-franchising  - sequels (audiences likely to watch) 

-buying out indie

-DEBATE = changes in industry – mainstream = struggling…..example = international companies funding (looper)

-distributing indie films (taking profits)

-test screening

-indie = opposite – many companies who receive funding – not about profit….they struggle to audiences


- sometimes films struggle to get to audiences  (four lions)

MOCK EXAM

SECTION A
-age
-gender
-ability/disability

SECTION B
-anything with technology
