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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
