Fucking tuff 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for your help ! so glad i found you before these exams :) NO MORE MEDIA NOW WOOHOO
So grateful to have found you. Really helped me today! Thank you
Thank-you! Glad to be of assistance!
NIGRI FORMATION CAME UP
As a media student I just want to advise that you're over exposed and if you move closer to the bookshelf the leading lines might suit you better
Where were you when I was recording the thing? Clearly needed you on set to direct. Hope this level of technical knowledge carries you well this afternoon!
thank u Ian, you're my hero rn 🙏
good luck
any advice for evaluation questions please? thanks so much!
Best advice is to keep close key phrases like 'to an extent', 'to a degree' etc. Theories are likely to apply in some ways, but not in others. Simply measure the extent to which they do/don't. Won't always be a 50/50 split, might be more 80/20, but always depends on the theory and text in question. Also, have the confidence to state that a particular theory might not be that useful, but if you do so, clearly explain WHY, and also worth suggesting a theory or theories that offer a better fit (without ignoring the theory in the question - always answer the question explicitly). Good luck!
@@mrblandmedia okay amazing, thanks so much again for the help!
what sort of questions could we get for peaky blinders on 2024 c2 exam? feeling a bit lost on questions yet I've revised all of peaky blinders... thanks :)
Can take various forms. Past examples include: To what extent is TV a global industry? (2019); Discuss how TV products are significantly influenced by the context in which they are produced. (2020). Evaluate Steve Neale's theory of genre. (2021) Explain Jenkins' theory of fandom in relation to PB & Explore how representations position audiences in The Bridge (22), How useful are structuralist theories in exploring TV products? (2023). That gives you a flavour. Good luck!
@@mrblandmedia thanks so much I was worrying about it. That's made a lot more sense so cheers. Have a good one 👍
This isn’t in the spec??? I’m confused
Slightly confused by your confusion! It is very much in the spec!
@@mrblandmedia sorry my teacher told me that postmodernism doesn’t come up for bridge and only peaky blinders so I’m kinda stressed now
Sorry for confusion. Your teacher is correct - it won't come up as a question in the sense that you will be explicitly be asked to evaluate the theory in relation the The Bridge. I posted this as an an explainer of the theory that I used with my own class more than anything. Nothing to stop you referring to the theory in relation to the Bridge - but your teacher is right, if it's named in a question on this section it will be a 15 marker about Peaky Blinders. Sorry for freaking you out!
how much would you recommend to write for a 30 marker? thanks so much for the advice!
I would aim for 4 sides if you can - 2 per text. All depends on size of handwriting of course, and it is possible to take a less is more approach as long as your response is really focused and concise. Good luck!
@@mrblandmedia okay amazing, thanks so much!! would you say about the same when using a word processor?
@@tehand yes, roughly the same (sorry for delay in responding btw)
@@mrblandmedia no worries at all! thanks again!
Thank you very much. Any recommendations on the timings of each question/ section?
Pretty straightforward: allocate 50 mins per section. 5 mins planning time, 45 minutes writing on the 30 markers, 25 minutes per piece on the 15 markers, approx 5 minutes planning time on each (but realistically will only need a couple of minutes planning). Good luck!
@@mrblandmedia thank you!
Praying the theory question isn't on Gauntlett or bell hooks 🤞🤞
What does context even refer to ?
A range of things: historical can mean when it was made, the social and cultural context means when it was made, but you also need to take into account things like attitudes to gender at the time. Industry context means the production background, what kind of company made it and what were the issues in the industry when it was made, this also overlaps with the economic context, which essentially means anything to do with money. What did it cost? What were the financial issues affecting the industry that might have had an impact on the text? Hope that all helps!
@@mrblandmedia thank you it makes sense ! I’m just struggling with exam technique for c2 as we haven’t done any in class 😬
what about black mirror and the returned?
I was wondering this too!
They’re the TV in the global age section. Just apply everything I said about Peaky Blinders and The Bridge to your texts. Genre, industry etc.
do you have one for paper 2?

I've got my exam today so this is perfect thank you!
i don’t think ac will come up
@@YouWolves It didn't come up, we had a 30 marker on comparison of formation to an unseen music video (beautiful by Christina Aguilera), 15 marker on presenting viewpoints and ideologies to an audience for an unseen daly mirror front cover, economic factors for independent films for I, Daniel Blake, maintaining global audiences for podcast/radio, marketing/advertisement for black panther. I think that's pretty much the paper we had? Surprised Formation came up as it was heavily on it last year too but oh well!
@@missmollyeliza1896 yeah i sat the paper 😂 i thought the podcast question was difficult but other than that it was a nice exam
How many similarities and differences ideally for the rep question ??
Difficult to quantify without seeing the texts. Two of each as a benchmark, but texts could mean it's weighted more in one direction than another. As long as you avoid seeing them as separate texts, and don't just have a single comparison as you pivot from one text to the other, you'll be fine. Good luck!
Thanks so much for doing Valhalla, can never find any recourses for this specific AC game
Glad to be of use - good luck!
thank you mate really helped
Pls can u do some exam strucure videos I have no idea how to strucure each question
Short of time, sorry, but here's a few thoughts. Media Language question: start with concise overview - what's the text doing (Purpose) and for who (Audience)? Then get into the details, working through all relevant aspects of media language (always keeping the specific focus of the question in mind). Representation: brief intro yoking the two texts together in relation to the focus indentified in the question. Clear comparisons - as many as you can muster. Could go text to text in terms of similarities and then text to text in terms of differences - always depends on the question. Industry - mostly just a demonstration of knowledge - but on the longer questions, start big (overview) then get small (details that support your arguments). Same for the Audience questions, really. Hope that's of some use. Good luck!
Hii please could you continue your Chaucer series I need youu
Really sorry, I just haven’t had time. Sorry!
Feeling good with my knowledge, just wondering if theres any videos about structure? Thank you :)
Just what’s on the channel already, sorry. References to structure here and there, but nothing beyond that. Good luck for the exams!
hi i can help with that :) section a: 15 mark - intro, 4-5 PEELs, conclusion, 30 mark - intro, 3-4 PEELs per product (essentially 3-4 comparisons) section b: 8 mark - 2 PEELs, no intro or conclusion, 10 mark - 3 PEELs, no intro or conclusion, 12 mark - 3-4 PEELs, *brief* intro and conclusion, 15 mark - 4-5 PEELs, intro and conclusion this was from advice from teachers and what i personally do, hope this helps !
@@JessPea thank u & good luck tomorrow :)

"How many other Arthur Penn films can you name without using Google? ...Okay, give up." That's so real.
this is a cracking video, but the audio is very quiet.
Weird one this, as you’re not the first to say that, but I’ve tried it on various devices and the audio plays totally fine for me. Sorry if it’s not behaving, not sure how I can remedy it tbh.
Great video sir ☺️
Thank-you!
u released this 2 days after I had my assessment for woman's hour 🥲🥲
Apologies on the poor timing - it’ll be here come the real thing though!
Thank you for making your videos, it really helps me especially since my teachers are not that good. Your channel is soo underrated man you deserve way more views

@@user-uc6hn2jw8ioh mate I am finished.
Hi there! Your videos are really helpful for Media Studies (Eduqas) Could you also cover the following topics that I study. I am aware you have probably covered some of the topics I've mentioned, however for the topics you have not created videos on, it would be appreciated if you could cover those as well in terms of their audience, industry, representation, etc :) - KSI + gal-dem - Tide - Super Human - Water Aid - San Junipero (Black Mirror) - Huck + Woman’s Realm - Have you Heard George’s Podcast - Black Panther - Kiss of the Vampire - I daniel Blake - The Times + Daily Mirror - Les Revenants (The Returned)
Hi, some of that stuff is already there like Huck and Woman’s Realm, as well as many aspects of the newspaper industry. I’m in the process of doing some more videos, should be with you in plenty of time for this summer’s exams. Thanks and good luck!
