Critical Investigation - Feedback
WWW - There is a phenomenal amount of research here and the bibliography is very impressive.
EVEN BETTER IF -
- You don't see to understand the majority of your research or go into any detail regarding any of the studies. The whole essay never gets beyond the superficial - surely a media student can't be struggling a fight scene in The Dark Knight Rises caused by James Holmes to kill 12 people?
- It is never clear what your argument is and you seem easily taken in by the lazy right wing media approach of blaming the media.
- There are also for too many basic errors: director's name spelled wrong, clumsy sentences, quotes that do the opposite of what you are saying (see top of page 5), missing capital letters.... the list goes on
- Although you refer to many studies, you have very little media theory or theorists. You need to research and include media effects theory.
- For an essay on the effect of violence or the audience, you have almost no effects theory (hyperdermic needle, cultivation theory etc)
- Look again at the essay structure and particularly topic sentence ... you need much more clarity if you want to reach the higher levels grades.

MISE EN SCENE -
MISE EN SCENE –
Setting
Locations – ESTATE/NEIGHBOURHOOD
The first image is a possible suggestion to what we can use
for the location of an estate/neighbourhood. This is an important and
appropriate location as there is a urban setting in which fits the genre of UK
Urban genre.
This screenshot above is a
possible suggestion to the neighbourhood in which the second scene should be filmed.
This is because again this fits the genre of UK Urban scene.
Location 2 – DEWAYNES YARD
For Dewayne’s house, we decided to use an urban setting in
which we scouting this location and looked the most urban setting so this will
fit the UK Urban setting.
Costume –
In this production there will be characters who will be
wearing casual clothing as they are young teens and casual clothing will fit
the genre of UK Urban drama. Casual clothing will include tracksuits, jeans,
coats, sneakers/trainers.
Lighting –
One scene out of the three will be outdoors in which natural
lighting will be used and not additional lighting will be added to the scenes.
However two scenes will be in a door which is off the drug dealer’s house and
the drug leader’s house. The lighting that will be used in these scenes is top
lighting as the scenes will be lit all around so everything will be clearly
seen.
Props –
There will be props used in this production, one of which
will be flour as this will be used to show a cocaine drug in which the drug
dealers are dealing. Another prop that will be used is a glass bottle in which
will be used to act out a fight scene and to show how violence unfolds within
this production.
Actors –
In this production there is going to be actors who will be
seen as serious rather than humorous rather than making sure that
