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).

WWW-This is a good exam with the potential to go even higher

EBI-Evidence from the extract/CSPs is crucial. Story focused on the question

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.
CLAMPS (Costume, Lightning, Actor, Make-up and hair, Props, Setting)
E.g. Will's costume - makes him look like he is from our world

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. 
  • Narrative theory: Propp – character types. Lyra and Will as heroes who the audience can identify with and accompany on their exploration of this empty city. The audience are clearly positioned to sympathise with Lyra and Will when they initially face the two other children.
  • Music and sound effects are used during the chase scene to create pace, drama and excitement. This suggests to the audience that a narrative development is likely to follow –an action code.
  • Todorov (equilibrium): The empty city creates a sense of disequilibrium – that something has gone wrong and needs to be repaired or at least understood by the characters.
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. 
Changes in society, particularly advances in equality for women, have slowly been reflected in TV drama. In 2016 it was announced that the next regeneration of Doctor Who would be as a woman (played by Jodie Whittaker). In His Dark Materials, the protagonist and strongest character is female (Lyra).

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?
  • I need to work out how to answer the question while being aware of the time.
  • Focus on the question
  • Need more expanding

RECEPTION THEORY

1) The preferred reading of a media text is what the media wants the audience to see in a positive way. 2) The oppositional reading of media text is what the media doesn't want the audience to see. 3)  The trailer wants the audience to think that all kids are rebellion and they like to disobey their parents. It also wants the audience to think that teens are more likely to form a gang and that they like violence. 4) Young people reject this reading and construct an oppositional reading of the trailer because not all young kids are as bad as them, and some other kids do have a plan for their future, it's just they find happiness through friends and social media.
