Self assessment of blog

AO1:


Demonstrate knowledge and application of the Key Concepts employed within Media Studies and the evaluation of texts and ideas using the Key Concepts.


Key concept analysis has played a crucial part in my investigation. I have a wide variety of different texts to view and I think i have done well in analysing music videos from different artists and institutions within the rap genre.


The key concept aspects which I have looked at in the most depth are representation, genre and ideologies as I feel these concepts are directly related with my hypothesis. The main theorist related to my study is Laura Mulvey, however I haven't done any in depth research in to her theories. I think the aspects i need to work on more are institution and theories. I also need to do more migrain analysis on female rappers in comparison to the typical male rappers.







AO2:



Demonstrate knowledge and application of the wider contexts (historical, social, political, economic) relevant to Media Studies.


I have looked at the history of the exploitation of women but not in as much depth as I'd like to. This is a vital part of my study as i must know how the exploitation of women has changed through time in order to understand my study. So far I have looked at the changes in groupies throughout time and also the first known exploitation of a black female. I must also explore the zeitgeist theme as I havent yet looked at this.
