Celebrity big brother (2010)
The investigation demonstrates sophisticated knowledge and understanding of media concepts, contexts and critical debates relevant to the chosen area of investigation.
Although ideologies are distributed by the MTV institution, it is the audience who ultimately have the power to accept or disregard them
The work contextualizes the study and the linked production piece effectively within the contemporary media landscape (AO1).
Celebrity culture is abundant in reality TV because the audience desire to see how celebrities such as Kim Kardashian live their lives, so that they can mimic certain aspects. Kim Kardashian is perceived as an idol that female audiences who are psychographically deemed as aspirers wish to be like. In the opening sequence of the text, the montage portrays the glamorous side of a celebrity. Kim Kardashian is wearing an elegant dress that compliments her assets.
He showed this in his production.
At the top of this level candidates demonstrate very good understanding of the chosen area of investigation, very good, independent research skills and very good application of media concepts, contexts and critical debates. The link between the investigation and the production is cogent, clear and evident.
