G322: Key Media Concepts (TV Drama)
For this unit you will sit one exam, where you will be given an unseen media text and asked to provide a ‘reading’ of it. You will have time to make notes on the text before starting your answer; you will be played it a total of four times to allow you to make detailed denotative and connotative observations/notes.
o Watch as many TV Dramas as you can and practise writing analytical about them—concentrating on both denotation and connotation.
o Remember to consider all the Key Concepts when looking at TV Drama:
Representations
Audience
Ideology
Language
Institutions
Narrative
Genre
o Read over all your class notes on media theories and make simple study notes to help you remember – mindmaps, lists, diagrams etc.
o Re-learn media terminology (including the different camera shots, movements, lighting styles etc.)
