Y12 Media exam: Paper 2 Learner response

Y12 Media exam: Paper 2: Learner response 

Create a new blogpost on your Media Coursework blog called 'Media Paper 2 learner response' and work through the following tasks:

1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write the mark/grade if you do not wish to).

WWW-Very good link to narrative & Confident exploration of some of key changes.

EBI-Be explicit when using question, more close analysis of signs and what they connote & A bit off-topic when concentrating on audience's efforts instead of modes of consumption, more detailed industry info needed.

2) Read the mark scheme for this exam carefully (posted on your exam teacher's Google Classroom), paying particular attention to the the 'indicative content' for each question. Firstly, focus on the unseen question and identify two aspects of the poster that you could have written about in your answer. 

I may of written about how the different modes and language associated with different media forms communicate multiple meanings for Q1 and the interrelationship between media technologies and patterns of consumption and response for Q2.

3) Look at the indicative content for Q1 again and make a note of any theories or examples of media terminology you could have used in your answer.

I may of wrote about Laura Mulvey's Male Gaze as the positioning of character and mode of address can be interpreted as signifiers of race and gender (the dominant white male, evasive black male, diminished female).

4) Now focus on the TV 25-marker. Read this exemplar response for the TV question and pick out three arguments, phrases or theories from the essay that you could use in a future question on Capital and Deutschland 83.

-The elements of crime and family drama all set around one London street creates a sense of authenticity that could unconsciously communicate certain ideologies to its mainstream BBC audience.

-Here, like Capital, it could be argued that western capitalist ideologies are being unconsciously reinforced through the construction of the narrative and key elements of mise-en-scene.

-Sympathetic takes on immigration and asylum, the demonisation of bankers (Roger and his boss Lothar presented as clueless in their meeting with the young upstart Mark) and Quentina’s lawyer being played by a black female actress would all suggest a more liberal ideology underpinning the show.

5) Finally, identify three things you need to revise for Media Paper 2 before your next assessment of mock exam.

-Focus on csp's.

-Make all flashcards.

-Do practice questions.
