Everything(ish) you could possibly need to know about Zoella and Attitude ahead of the EDUQAS Media Studies A-Level Component 2 'Media in the Online Age' exam.
Check out the Huck one that's lying around near here somewhere. Woman's Realm should be pretty straightforward - women doing the things the patriarchy tells them to do.
Yes, you will need to. I would recommend picking up a copy of an issue of the magazine, as well as picking a couple of relevant examples from the website.
The question will most likely relate to economic factors, and the bridge is funded by two companies a PBS and a commercial company or it will be about how it's post modernistic
It's a term best suited to Life on Mars - the way in which the 70's Sam is thrown back into is essentially a hyperreal version of the actual 70's mediated through crime shows of the period - but for the Bridge you can argue that it is a very self-aware show - another hallmark of post-modern texts - for example, the scenes between Lillian and Hans and Lillian and Hanna in which they discuss Saga, the show is constantly building Saga into a larger than life, hyperreal, almost mythical character - and this self-awareness is highly post-modern.
The likelihood is that two of the topics will be tested with 30 mark questions where you write about both texts, and the other topic will be tested by two 15 mark questions, with each question getting you to focus on a different text. No way of knowing for certain this will be the case (thought my guess is it will be) or of which pairing of texts will get the 2x15 rather than 1x30 treatment. Hope that helps! Good luck!
Sorry for tardiness of response. You'll be comparing with Attitude magazine/website and might look, for example at the representations and how they position the audiences. In other words explore the brand of femininity that Zoella constructs and how and why this is likely to appeal to a particular demographic. Or you might like at how the two media products (Zoella and Attitude) have been constructed to appeal to the needs the audience or what factors are likely to determine/influence how audiences respond to them. Hope that helps. And who knows when an exam will actually be set on this stuff...
Hi could you give some advice on how to do the revision for component 2 plz? Since each texts are all concluding so many things that i have no idea how to start it! thanks a lot and your videos are really helpful!
My best advice is to organise your revision around the strands of the theoretical framework and from there think about how well each of the relevant theories applies to each text. So far TV for example that means thinking about Media Language (think narrative, genre, representation and what you could say about each and how you could think link that to Levi-Strauss, Neale, Baudrillard, Hall, hooks, Gauntlett etc.) This should be a way of pulling all your knowledge together in a way that will be relevant for the exam. Hope that helps! Good luck!
No. Just a bit of playful humour. Someone as squeaky clean as Zoella would never risk sullying the brand in such a way. Her NFTs will probably be along any day now though…
TH-cam as a platform has played a huge part in transforming the relationship between ,media producers and audiences, and, love her or hate her (or be totally indifferent towards her) to understand Zoella is to understand how and why this happened.
forget zoella lets get ian bland on the spec
least Bland man this side of youtube, Zozo wishes she was Mr Bland.
Thank you! These videos have been brilliant for last minute cramming
Would it be possible to do a life on mars and The bridge, it would be really useful
Will try, but can't promise. Struggling to work out everything I'd need to say about The Bridge in less than about three hours!
@@mrblandmediaI'd actually pay you if you could do this
Fab video sir really helpful! You definitely deserve a publishing deal
Lubna xo omg hey girl
Can you do more videos for component 2 before Thursday would save my life
Will try, but no promises, but when lives depend on it...
Ian Bland my life also depends on it
Ian Bland mine too
@@mrblandmedia mine too
itsrajak he goes to my school
Please could you do THE BRIDGE and LIFE ON MARS i am so screwed for that
loving the intro! 😭
Can you do a video on vogue and big issue and humans and the returned?? Your videos are so helpful
Really sorry - those are the texts I haven't taught so I'm just not clued up enough about them.
Ian Bland no worries! Thanks so much
Can you please do videos for Vogue and the Big Issue and Life on Mars and The Bridge before 13th as Component 2 is then?
Sorry - haven't taught Vogue and Big Issue, so just don't have the expertise on that combination.
ur a fucking iconic queen and I love u. zoella's subs don't mean shit - quality over quantity xox
thank you sooooo much for this it’s perfect
you legend you legend you legend youve saved me thankyou
So helpful thank you
Also is anyone confused about the zoellas vape line? 😂
Can you please do more videos for component 2. I really need a video about humans and the returned. Thank you so much your a life saver
Check out the Huck one that's lying around near here somewhere. Woman's Realm should be pretty straightforward - women doing the things the patriarchy tells them to do.
Ian Bland i am going to check that video out today.👍🏼
Ian Bland I found this video very helpful but for attitude I thought we had to analyse some of the articles like what you did with zoellla’s q&a
Yes, you will need to. I would recommend picking up a copy of an issue of the magazine, as well as picking a couple of relevant examples from the website.
Best form teacher ever 🤣🤣
Joe B uno it
What a legend
this was highly useful! thank you
Very helpful, thank you!
PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON VOGUE AND BIG ISSUE
Thank you so much!
Yes sir you bloody legend
Do you do The Bridge? I really don’t understand it
I do, but might not be able to get a video done in time that lasts less than about four hours. Shout out a question and I'll try and answer though.
The question will most likely relate to economic factors, and the bridge is funded by two companies a PBS and a commercial company or it will be about how it's post modernistic
Both of those are definite possibilities, but I wouldn't rule out genre or narrative, nor a question on the representation of gender.
@@mrblandmedia regarding The Bridge - how would you best describe postmodernism? I can't seem to understand it
It's a term best suited to Life on Mars - the way in which the 70's Sam is thrown back into is essentially a hyperreal version of the actual 70's mediated through crime shows of the period - but for the Bridge you can argue that it is a very self-aware show - another hallmark of post-modern texts - for example, the scenes between Lillian and Hans and Lillian and Hanna in which they discuss Saga, the show is constantly building Saga into a larger than life, hyperreal, almost mythical character - and this self-awareness is highly post-modern.
Please do Les Revenants and Humans!
Could you make a video on vogue and the big issue next?
lol what.... Zoella vape line????
Or on life on mars and the bridge?? plsss
🐐 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Thank you so much! very helpful
Pleasure, good luck! (And I’m assuming your alias is ironic and you’re anything but a dumb f__k!)
Please may you do Humans and The Returned?
Really sorry - I don't teach that combination of texts!
Can u do the returned & humans please :)
Really sorry - taught the other pairing, so just don't have the knowledge on those two texts (and haven't even watched them to be totally honest).
Ian Bland can you just make a video of you watching some of it and making comments on them
Thank you for your videos! Is there a structure we can be aware of for component 2 in terms of how many big essays please?
The likelihood is that two of the topics will be tested with 30 mark questions where you write about both texts, and the other topic will be tested by two 15 mark questions, with each question getting you to focus on a different text. No way of knowing for certain this will be the case (thought my guess is it will be) or of which pairing of texts will get the 2x15 rather than 1x30 treatment. Hope that helps! Good luck!
Ian Bland Thank you so much! 😊
i know this video is quite old - but I don't really get what types of questions they could ask about Zoella?

Hi sir
does zoella have a vape line? I can't find evidence
No. Just a bit of playful humour. Someone as squeaky clean as Zoella would never risk sullying the brand in such a way. Her NFTs will probably be along any day now though…
Would you be able to do pointless blog and desimag
Sorry - taught the other pairing, so just don't have the expertise on that combination!
What a don
I don’t even study media (and never have) but i want to know why zoella is on a spec
TH-cam as a platform has played a huge part in transforming the relationship between ,media producers and audiences, and, love her or hate her (or be totally indifferent towards her) to understand Zoella is to understand how and why this happened.
That's crazy that youtube and Zoella are now on a spec! Thank you for the insight :)
rah the fact I go to the same school as this teacher🤯🤯
OH MY GOD MR BLAND BABAGGAHGSGEBS
