Y12 Media exam: Paper 1 Learner response

-

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

WWW - Tara, a good effort overall in this media exam. You've also used your ET quite effectively to gain more marks. A strong response for Q3 for the Ghost Town stereotypes on Youth 

EBI - First thing is to ensure you include key words in your responses e.g. genre for Q1 audience position. For Q2 try not to force media codes for each response unless needed. Also use your ET to plan responses or proof read your work.

2) Read the mark scheme for this exam carefully (posted on your exam teacher's Google Classroom), paying particular attention to the 'indicative content' for each question. This is some of the best analysis you can do as it gives you an idea of what the exam board are expecting. For your LR blogpost, identify ONE point you could have added for the first three questions in Section A:

Q1 - I could have wrote about the repetition and difference theory, also genre of orders. Using more genre theory rather than media language then linking it back to genre

Q2 - I could of used more context and theory which are relevant to the Qs focus, using different theories other than Hall's Reception theory.

Q3 - I could have linked


Q1 (unseen text) additional point/theory:

Q2 (unseen text and CSP) additional point/theory/CSP reference:

Q3 (music video) additional point/theory/CSP reference:

3) Now focus on Section B. Section B began with two questions testing your knowledge of industry terminology. Make sure you know the answers to these (get the answers from the mark scheme if you have to):

Benefits of horizontal integration:

Definition of vertical integration:

4) The Section B CSP focus was on Blinded By The Light. Look at the mark scheme and write a definition of traditional marketing with examples.

5) Finally, identify three things you plan to revise before your next Media assessment or mock exam (e.g. terminology, particular theories or CSPs etc.)

Research 1) Use Google to research potential magazines that you could use as your brand/design for this project.  Create a shortlist of  three  potential magazines and upload an example front cover from each one. We recommend looking at lifestyle magazines or a similar genre as these are more achievable to re-create.                                                   2) Choose  one  of the three magazine brands to use for your project e.g GQ, Vogue or The Gentlewoman. Then f ind  three  different front covers for your chosen magazine and embed them in your blogpost. Analyse the fonts, colours and typical design. What is the language or writing style? How are the cover lines written? What camera shot is generally used for the cover image? You need to become an expert in the design and construction of this magazine and its branding....

Introduction to Postcolonialism

-
1) Look at the first page. What is colonialism - also known as  cultural imperialism?  how other plaves conquered other countries and implaced their own culture, values, and systems onto indigenous populations.  2) Now look at the second page. What is postcolonialism?  challenges the ideas and power structures created by colonialism. It focuses on how race, identity, and inequality have been shaped by colonial histories. 3) How does Paul Gilroy suggest postcolonialism influences British culture? Britain has not fully come to terms with the loss of its empire, which leads to the continued marginalisation and criminalisation of immigrants, like those from Caribbean and South Asian backgrounds. As a result, British culture still reflects colonial attitudes through suspicion, exclusion, and the desire to maintain racial hierarchies, often reinforced through media and politics. 4) What is 'othering'? the process of defining certain groups as different, alien, or outside ...
