Exam

We had the exam on Wednesday and I think it went ok, the textual analysis was on representation of age. The extract was from E.R. There was a range of different age groups throughout the clip which made it easier to write about. The clip made the older people seem delusional, however, there were two boys in the clip- one very clever and independent for his age, he was suffering from a life threatening illness, the other was very reliant on his mother and his injury was a bite from his pet. The clip showed that just because they were the same age it doesnt mean they are the same.
      I cant remember the question for Section B exactly but we had to chose a media section to use, i chose film. I wrote mostly about synergy and convergence but i used examples such as Slumdog Millionaire, The Dark Knight Rises and Monsters. I explained how the different films used things such as synergy, convergence and viral marketing to profit from the film and also to promote the film. I wrote about all the different kinds of things such as games inspired from the film, action figures etc.
