 WWW: Brilliant start in first assessment 

     EBI: Add theories to get higher level 

             Social and cultural context

2+3 done in paper

4) Did you get any media terminology or theory wrong in the assessment? Make a note of it here for future revision, including theories/terminology that you could have used but didn't.

Neale - All genres contain repetition and difference

Abercrombie - More hybrid genres, people are playing with the idea of genre and using it in different and interesting new ways

Todorov - All narrative contains = equilibrium disequilibrium and new equilibrium 

Propp - Most media uses stereotypical characters to drive narrative

Shatz - Experimental stage, classic stage, parody and deconstruction (genre)

5) I believe my weakest question was question 1.

 I believe i could’ve improved it by:

• Using Todorov’s theory by discussing the potential disequilibrium suggested by the character looking off screen with a gun in his hand.

•Use shatz’s theory and discuss how it’s a genre of order as it has aspects of action and violence.

•Discuss which one of propp’s character types the character best resembled.
