You have a choice of 2 questions, reading list will be provided,Answer only one question.
The approach you take in the film is up to you: you can film yourself giving a classroom-style presentation, provide a spoken commentary on a Powerpoint presentation, or create something quite different. Feel free to include images, sound and audio-visual clips in your presentation to illustrate your answer. Primarily you will be assessed on the content of your presentation, your answer to the question set, but you will also be assessed on the quality and clarity of the presentation. A flashy presentation lacking in analytical substance and critical rigour will not, however, be sufficient to achieve a good grade. You are expected to include and interrogate theoretical and conceptual material, and support your arguments with evidence and examples as you would for any other academic assignment.

Your written script should be presented and fully referenced in the same way as an essay or a dissertation, with in-text citations and a full bibliography at the end. You do not need to read out your citations in the voiceover of the presentation, but you will need to make it clear if you are quoting someone or something, and ensure that all relevant information is included in the written version. Please also include in the written version information detailing the sources of any images, audio, or audio-visual material that you include that you have not generated yourself. Full details of how to properly cite audio-visual sources are included in the departmental style guide.
QUESTIONS:
1. With reference to one or two case studies, critically assess the ways in which power structures within the cultural and creative industries shape cultural products.

2. According to Robert Warshow (1962), the setting for an American western film is always about 1870, when in fact the western deftly articulates the changing social, cultural and political concerns of the times in which the particular film was made. Is this true? Support your answer with examples and from the relevant cultural theories of representation.
