Representation Essay feedback

First paragraph – you need to discuss what macro element you are discussing so the examiner has this clear in their mind as well as the c/w production

You are far too descriptive – you need to evaluate and be more critical of your own work – step back from it...

Questions we would ask when analysing representations:
  • WHO or WHAT is being represented?
  • HOW is the representation created?
  • WHO has created the representation?
  • WHY is the representation created in that way? What is the
  • intention?
  • WHAT is the effect of the representation?
Consider the representations in your c/w and answer the above questions in detail.


  • To maintain a representation of reality, media language elements such as lighting, music, editing, camera work and mise en scene are used. How did you use these micro aspects to create representations?
  • Sometimes, representations are seen to be a deliberate attempt to create associations and ideas for the audience – did you represent any characters in a certain way so as to remind your audience or someone/something else?
