End of Year 1 exam: Learner Response

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

Grade-6

WWW-A strong exam with some great points.Well done!

EBI-Timing/exam technique to cover both csp in detail for the 20 mark essay


2) Look at the mark scheme document linked above. Question 1.1 asks about mise-en-scene. What do we use to remember mise-en-scene? Give one example answer from the mark scheme too.

Examples:
• Will’s costume – makes him look like he is from our world
• The two children they are chasing – costume and make-up to make
them look abandoned/homeless.

3) Question 1.2 asks about narrative features in the extract. Look at the mark scheme to pick out three possible answers for this question. 

• Location: the empty city creates its own enigma code with the mystery of what has
happened to the city and the people that lived there. This is partially resolved later in the
extract.
• Props: the setting and props are both familiar (the drink bottles and bread towards the end
of the sequence) and also other-worldly in keeping with the fantasy genre (the city). The
creates a contrast that suggests the wider narrative arc of multiple worlds (including one
very much like our own).
• Costumes: Lyra and Will are placed in costumes that reflect the world they are from. This
helps to communicate the wider narrative arc of the show and emphasises the fact they are
‘out of place’ in this city currently. This creates a sense of narrative enigma (why are they
there? What will they discover? Are they in danger?) and also a sense of binary opposition –
of two opposing worlds. The costumes of the two other children help emphasise this
contrast and reflect the narrative development of the ‘Spectres’ that have left these

4) Now focus on Question 2 - the 20 mark essay. Use the mark scheme to pick out one way Doctor Who reflects 1963 and one way His Dark Materials reflects 2020. 

Representations:
• Traditionally, Doctor was a white male, most often with a younger female companion,
reflecting and reinforcing traditional gender roles of the times, with the man as powerful
and in control and the woman as helper. Women’s helper role often been to provide an
emotional, empathetic side to the programme. Reinforcing the idea that men are active,
action-centred while women are more passive, emotional and sensitive

5) Reflect on your overall work and exam performance this year. What three things do you need to work on or revise in Media for Year 11? 

-knowing my csp
-know more narrative features
-revise my key terminology

Reception theory

  1) What is the preferred reading of a media text? The preferred reading of a media text  is how the producer wants the audience to see the media text. 2) What is the oppositional reading of a media text? The oppositional reading of a media text is something that places the audience in a different position they were in before/changes their view. 3) How does the Harry Brown trailer position the audience to respond to the teenage characters in the film? The trailer of the Harry Brown clip wants the audience to think that most kids are very bad and like to commit bad things because of what other people are doing or to be cool.This shows us that most people commit to doing bad things because of the influence of other people.This would most certainly make the audience believe that if they are doing these bad things they would not care about the consequences of their own actions.Meaning if they got in trouble they would not care and would still continue their bad ways. 4) Why might...

3) What stereotypes of women can you find in the 1950s and 1960s adverts? Give specific examples.  Women were seen to stay at home and do all the cooking and cleaning.Their hair had to be perfectly done and their makeup should be flawless.In the adverts the women would always be cooking or cleaning.The products for the advert would always be a cleaning or cooking product and the main character would always feature a women in it.The stereotype was that women should stay home and be cooking or cleaning  for their husband while he works to make money for the household.Also women would have to have their hair and makeup done for their husband to seem pretty and modest for them. 4) What stereotypes of women can you find in the post-2000s adverts?  The stereotypes form women in the 2000s was that they had to please men.This meant that they were heavily objectified and had to make sure that they fitted the beauty standards.Women were still seen as much more weaker  than men...

OMO advert CSP

  1) What year was the advert produced? The year the  OMO  advert was produced was in 1955 2) How were women represented in most adverts in the 1950s? Add as much detail to this answer as you can as these are the social, cultural and historical contexts we will need to write about in the exam. In most adverts in the 1950s women were presented as cookers and cleaners.The way these adverts were presented always showed a massive stereotype towards women.For example in the OMO advert it features a women enjoying hanging up the washing.Her facial expressions show that she is shocked and is also enjoying what she is doing.To show this was a stereotype the advert used a women (could be seen as a mother).At the bottom of the advert there is some text where it says "This will shake your mother".This is a stereotype because it fully shows that this product was aimed towards mothers because they are always cleaning and want their clothes and items to look the best of the best. 3) Ho...
