Well done to everyone in Year 13 for completing their independent studies and making such a good job of it...the standard, overall, was better than ever!
What you see below are links to most of the 'A' grade essays submitted by 13C. It is strongly recommended that you read through these as part of your revision programme. Not only will they provide you with plenty of synoptic material for Med 6 but they all make crucial links to Med 4 which will help refresh your memories about what you need to know here and, most probably, provide you with new case studies and examples to present in your essays. In particular, make sure you read those by Alliaya and Heena (representation of women), Pip (representation of Asians), and Jaskeerat (genre).
And for those of you in 13D...if you post up your final drafts on your blogs I'll put links to the best ones here so that, again, the rest of the year can take a look and, hopefully, learn something.

Patrick 'Kitten' Braden: “Well, you see, the thing is, Bertie, I'm not a girl”. Bertie: “Oh, I knew that, Princess” How is male-to-female cross-dressing represented in film, with particular reference to “Breakfast on Pluto”?...by Alice, who got the top mark in the year...60 out of 60...well done! Extremely well researched and fluently written with lots of original ideas.
‘So I told him, brush your teeth after you...' How is youth represented, especially females, within contemporary media? With specific reference to "Kidulthood".Certainly the rudest title in this essay by Alliaya. Very useful for Med 4: representation of women.
“Reggay Boyz.” To what extent and why is contemporary reggae music being used to promote homophobic attitudes?Intelligent and thoughtful approach from Ashley that provides an informative overview.
“I'd recognise that arse anywhere, you piece of s**t.” Are women in Hollywood films represented purely as sex objects to entertain and pleasure men, with particular reference to ‘Charlie’s Angels-Full Throttle’?Well researched effort from Heena that summarises many of the key arguments you need to know for Med 4: representation of women.
“I want what any princess wants – to live happily ever after… with the ogre I married.” How are heroes/heroines and villains typically represented in contemporary animation films, paying close attention to “Shrek 2”?A comprehensive and detailed essay from Kalpan.
“Finally a programme that represents Asians properly.” How accurately are Asians represented in ‘Life isn’t all ha ha hee hee?’Really useful (and superbly written) treatment of some of the key relevant issues for Med 4: representation of Asians, by Pip.
“…he creates his own world; he creates his own style." Is the auteur theory any longer significant in contemporary Hollywood, with a focus on Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Kill Bill’ and his oeuvre?Jatinder's sophisticated approach to this topic links with a lot of the stuff we've been covering for Med 4: genre.
"Who died and made you f***ing king of the zombies?" How does British zombie film ‘Shaun of the Dead’ follow the codes and conventions of the zombie genre?A knowledgeable study from Jaskeerat that is good background material for Med 4: genre.
