A2 COLLECTIVE IDENTITY

Comparative writing Having looked at an episode of Britain on FIlm entitled This Sceptred Isle, please find modern alternative visions of british life from current TV. Formulate your exploration by asking certain questions. For example:

• How has the media representation of Britishness changed between the early 1960s and now?
• In which ways does the representation of Britishness through television and film reveal the changes to the demographics of British society?
• How was Britain encouraged to see itself in the 1960s compared to now.

Though it would be easy to focus on the obvious changes in attitudes towards gender roles between 1960 and 2013 please make sure that you don't limit your exploration to this. remember that a likely essay title in the exam will be:

With reference to any one group of people that you have studied, discuss how their identity has been ‘mediated’.

Such a question as this demands that you examine in our case Britishness through media texts.

You might for example, make a list of texts you might use. remember that you must ensure that you are making reference to at least two media forms: i.e.. film, TV, advertising, print, internet, radio, games, music videos, etc.

Finally and very importantly here are some key areas to begin to consider when making notes and preparing.

• Social, Historical, Economic and Political context

SHEP

How do these crucial external factors influence the media text, its production/creation and its reception and audience?

How do factors including the multichannel and media saturated nature of our current world influence the way in which collective identity is mediated to us?
