Students were introduced to the concept of genre, intertextuality and postmodernism. The Mighty Boosh was presented as an example of a postmodern text that defies genre categorisation and may be considered a hybrid-genre due to its mix of the codes and conventions associated with a range of genre such as situation comedy, animation and music video.
Students analysed the trailer to Juno with the aim of identifying the nature of the teenage representation.
The main task of the lesson was group work that considered the following questions in relation to the trailer for the first series of Skins and the Skins trailer used to market the second season of Channel Four's popular 'teen' drama.
Homework: Consider which brief you might use to create your AS coursework and provide a written response to the Skins' media:
a.Compare and contrast the two texts with particular reference to the representation of teenagers.
b.Who is the target audience?
c.Which is the most successful trailer and why?
