Y12 exam - Media 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 mark/grade if you do not wish to).
WWW: Good, structured attempt at the long essay question
EBI: Missed opportunities to pick up marks in Q1 - Just needs more straightforward textual analysis.
2) Read the mark scheme for this exam carefully, paying particular attention to 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.
The visual codes and iconography of the image including colour and setting as it relates to the thriller/horror/supernatural genre such as the isolated setting, low key lighting and blue hue.
The representation of youth as diverse in terms of gender and race
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.
The codes and conventions of media products
The relative nature of the genres
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.
Overall, the audience are encouraged to take a sympathetic reading to working class, immigrant or non-white characters. Indeed, the BBC has often been criticised for a left-wing bias and conservatives may well point to this reading of Capital as evidence.
5) Finally, identify three things you need to revise for Media Paper 2 before your next assessment or mock exam.
