Wednesday's Task
In preparation for the exam students must:
*Engage with a range of theoretical perspectives
*Demonstrate a personal position on the issues
*Exam answers must have a historical, contemporary and future perspective, focussing mostly on the contemporary.
*Emphasise the active audience i.e. how people 'give meaning' to cultural products (media texts).
*Have an understanding of two different areas of the media ie. film, television, internet, magazines, etc
In order to prove that you have a lot of this understanding already you will split into groups to work on answering these 4 prompt questions in detail.
You have 40 minutes to discuss and identify a clip/clips to back up your argument. You must also include reference to contemporary theory.
1. How do the contemporary media represent nations, regions and ethnic/social/collective groups of people in different ways?
2. How does contemporary representation compare to previous time periods?
3. What are the social implications of different media representations of groups of people?
4. To what extent is human identity increasingly mediated?
Write up a summary of your key arguments on the blog and be ready to present it to the class.

Collective id theory and examples
View more presentations from Media Studies.
In groups discuss the theories presented in the first part of the lesson.
1. Is there a particular fashion or music movement at the moment that you think could be labelled a collective identity? If so then you must be able to justify it using some of the theories you have learnt.
2. Discuss the ways in which you could apply at least two of the theories to the film/tv examples you have seen over the last few weeks. Include detailed reference to key examples from the films/programmes.

Questions on 'An Education'
Discuss these questions in groups, refer to your notes from last lesson and respond in a new post, as a group. Don't forget to label your blog with the names of the people in your discussion group.
1. What kind of Britain is represented? How does it compare to the Britain represented in Passport to Pimlico?
2. Describe the character of Jenny? How far do you think she is a typical British teenager? What might be different about her, if anything?
3. What impression does the film give of Britain if you are a woman? Describe Helen, Jenny's Mother, Jenny's teacher and Jenny in terms of representations of women.
4. What representation of British women do they give and can you think of any contemporary examples of similar women in film?
5. Conduct some research into the film, who made it, how was it funded, who directed it?
