I just wanted to say I finished my media studies course last year and you are far better at explaining things in a way that’ll actually get you marks in the exams then my teachers - very clear and informative!
@@romarnobrown-tavernier7730hi mate, obviously you don’t get your papers back after they’ve been marked which is very annoying as you have no idea what you have done good/bad - in terms of essays, if you’re comparing sources in any way, it’s imperative to remember the SPECIFIC details of both texts even if they seem superfluous - the more specific examples you can use from the texts themselves and link it to a context (whether that be social, economical or historical depending on what the question asks), the more you prove to the examiner that you actually know what you’re talking about rather than just waffling. The terminology for specific types of the mise-en-scene will also be useful (I.e rather than just saying “lighting” say the type of lighting (chiaroscuro, high key, low key etc.) basically the more in depth you can go the better, whilst swiftly moving on point from point without waffling. A lot of people write loads of stuff that’s not actually going to get them asks cause they’re being too vague. State your point in the most sophisticated way you can then move on to a different element of the mise-en-scene to make it clear to the examiner you have a wide range of knowledge about all elements of the text (clothing, setting, body language, facial expressions etc). I know it seems obvious but always make sure you’re actually answering the question that’s been asked. The A-level media studies revision book that I’m sure has been recommended on this channel before and by your media teachers is actually extremely useful if you struggle to remember particular theories/theorists and who coined certain phrases (Barthes Semiotics for example). This is how I was taught anyway, hope this helps 👍
