DECEMBER PPE LR

1) A decent attempt at Section B(video games). You provide valid points on gender representation and how producers operate(be careful with question 5 as you should've references LCG)

EBI-  You have gasp in your knowledge of TV, you need to go back and watch the eps and practice analysing the clips under timed conditions. Also pick out key words and in the Q to help focus answers.

2)2

3) Costumes, hair and makeup range from the everyday contemporary
teen drama college wear of April and her friends, to Quill’s severe
sci-fi blond bob and black leathers, with the humanesque, red eyed,
rotten teeth lizards dressed in gladiatorial leathers spanning both
sci-fi and fantasy genres.

The dominant storyline established in the extract is a typical sci-fi
plot of humans being threatened by aliens symbolised through the
device of Corakinus, the Shadow King, sharing April’s heart. This,
together with the fantasy element, is developed in a main scene in
the extract set in the medieval citadel when the king’s helper tries
and fails to give Corakinus control of the heart.

The extract introduces some easily recognisable genre characters.
Corakinus demonstrates all the characteristics of a sci-fi/fantasy
villain; in the extract he kills his helper for failing in his duty and
presents the main threat in the storyline and in line with genre
codes, talks in an electronically distorted voice.
