OSP Assessment: Learner response

-

+ 1) WWW: Successful response to Q1, understanding the theory.                                                                         EBI: Both answers need more detail and development specific example from the CSP in particular.

2) Three aspects from Q1 that I could have added are.

  1. Preferred-Linking Google Homes advert as a vision of an ideal family life. Mise-en-scene supports this with coloured pencils and a child's picture in the background.
  2. Oppositional-Google home shouldnt be seen as a natural part of someones home. Some audiences will reject this if they're concerned about they're data and privacy.
  3. Negotiated- The speaker has its usefulness despite the concerns in how it uses our data.
3) Three potential points for Q2 are:
  1. Clay Shirky End Of Audience- Audiences have a wide and diverse range of ideologies that are available to them currently. Teen Vogue is a reflection of this with they're diverse range of communities (LGBTQ, Feminism, etc) 
  2. Teen Vogue is owned by Conde Nast which is a major conglomerate yet they run stories against capitalism presenting themselves as hypocritical.
  3. Paul Gilroys Double Consciousness- The Voice offers a diverse range of values and ideologies as representations of a black british audience that actually reflect they're experiences and life in Britain.
4) Essay plan for Question two.
  • In the introduction I'd discuss my initial perspective of Teen Vogue having a diverse range of ideologies while The voice being more stagnant.
  • The first actual paragraph would use Clay Shirkys end of audience as a way to support this notion and that Teen Vogue discusses various topics on there website like feminism as a means to relate to their audiences.
  • Second paragraph would also note that Teen Vogue might just be using these ideologies as a coverup to gain more attraction and people to they're company. They're main focus will always be about fashion in the end.
  • Then I'd switch to talking about The Voice and how they subvert previous stereotypes that represented the black british community. They're main ideology revolves around BLM alongside other traditional values.

5) Three things i need to revise for the future are the theorists for OSP (Clay shirky and a few others), my timing and the detail i put into my answers.

Henry Jenkins: Fandom

-
Fact-sheet#107 Fandom 1) A fan is a person who has a devotion to a media text that goes beyond simply consuming the text that they consumed. Matt Hill believes it becomes a part of someones identity much like gender, class and age. 2) The different types of fans that are identified by the extract are: Hardcore/true Fan : They identify themselves as the "insiders" within any fandom. They spend a lot of time and often money in becoming hardcore fans. Newbie : These are new fans of a media text and don't have the same devotion as a hardcore fan. They are seen as the "out-group" within any fandom. Anti-fan : Those who identify with a media text but in a negative light instead. Unlike hardcore fans they form they're relationship with a media text at a distance rather then a close reading. Hill argues that the anti fan views a negative stereotype of a genre or text ("People who watch horrors are sick") 3) A fandom is typically a group of people fascinate...
