Reception theory (my own)

Image result for gucci gang

Reception theory:

Dominant reading:
The dominant reading of this cover of lil pump's new song "gucci gang" is that it makes the audience envy lil pump and look up to him because he wears designer clothes and earns lots of money and it is used to promote himself and make him stand out from others.

Negotiated reading: The negotiated reading is that people can see the reason why lil pump would say him and his friends are the "gucci gang" because he wants to flex on everyone but they would also see how everyone is focusing on his money and fame but no one is wondering about all the starving kids around the suburbs in less developed countries.


Oppositional reading: The oppositional reading is that lil pump uses his money to promote himself and for him to live a luxurious life whilst that money could be sent to poverty ridden countries and help people get out of poverty instead of using all of his money on clothes/cars/etc.

Narrative theory

Narrative is a vital concept for A Level Media. We look for narratives - stories - to make sense of media texts. Everything from film and television to news and adverts relies on narrative to help audiences understand the message.  There are  narrative patterns  and three key  narrative theories  we need to learn as part of our introduction to A Level Media.

Long-running TV series such as  Game of Thrones  or  Breaking Bad  have one major  overarching narrative and lots of mini-narratives. The overarching narrative runs over the series, the mini narrative may be r

MIGRAIN: October assessment - learner response

Mark: 21 Grade: E WWW: Good on the first two questions, housing a range of points. EBI: you need to revise some theory's better, especially genre. To include more quotes and examples in Q3. In Q1: I received 5 marks because I explained what I thought the narrative of the movie is about and I also talked about todorov's narrative theory. I also mentioned Propp's Seven spheres. In Q2: I only received 6 marks because I only extended my point to a basic level and didn't properly answer the question. In Q3: I received 3 marks . I think the reason why I only got 3 marks was because I didn't mention any genre theories and I didn't mention action or enigma codes or anything. In Q4:I received 6 marks which is really bad  considering its out of 20 marks. The reason why I got only 6 marks was because I didn't use any media terminology, I talked mostly about how the audience would feel instead of what the actual reading was. One potential point I missed out on Q
