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).


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, Lighting, Actor placement/movement, make-up,
props, setting.

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. 

• Excellent analysis of the product that is detailed and critically engages

with the nuanced aspects of how media language is used.
• Focus on how narrative features communicate meanings is thorough
and effective.
• Consistent appropriate and effective use of subject terminology
throughout.

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. 

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

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? 

Excellent knowledge and understanding of the contexts of the media,
demonstrated by thoroughly effective discussion of how media
contexts influence media texts

Excellent analysis of the extract that is detailed and critically engages
with the nuanced aspects of how far the extract targets a very specific
audience group

Excellent analysis of the product that is detailed and critically engages
with the nuanced aspects of how media language is used.
