  3. What do you already know about Section A of the exam?

  4. When you go on to the BLOG, there is an electronic version of the Micro Features booklet you were given at the beginning of the year.

  5. This is what you will find on the BLOG Page under Class and Status - • DO: • Use phrases like “status quo” and make sure you state how an example from a technical feature helps to establish social order OR challenge it! • Use phrases like “stereotype” – for example are wealthier, more aristocratic people stereotyped as snobbish or derogatory towards the lower classes. • Make sure your examples are always tied into the area of representation (we will go through this on the next slide) • DON’T: • Spend too much time on theory – briefly mention it and move on to another Point/Piece of Evidence as this gets you more marks.

  6. Make sure your examples are always tied into the area of representation (we will go through this on the next slide) YOU SHOULD try and follow a Point – Evidence – Analysis structure, for example: Point – The status quo of the Upper class being in a position of importance and occupying ‘high status roles (Newman – 2006) is represented through the use of camera in the scene. Evidence – The technical code of a low camera angle is used to represent CHARACTER to be… Analysis – This example signifies how the audience will understand this stereotype of people in power and authority….
