End of Year 1 exam: Learner Response

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

WWW: Fajr, mostly sound knowledge of the two Tv-drama CSPs which you are able to respond fairly to.

EBI: Write a paragraph responding to Q1.3 but focus on audience theories e.g. Blumler Stuart Hall's Reception theory.

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 clip too - you'll find example answers in the mark scheme.

  • CLAMPS: Costume, Lighting, Actor placement/movement, make-up, props, setting.
  • 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. 

• 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. 

Representations of teenagers have shown both continuity and change. Both Susan in the1963 Doctor Who and Lyra in His Dark Materials are high-achieving or brave, intelligent or strong and determined. However, Susan in the 1963 Doctor Who seems more childish and has little control over her own life. She is more obedient to adults such as her grandfather. In His Dark Materials, Lyra is more capable, more active and more in control – she is not bothered what Will thinks or her and does not defer to him at all.

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? 

- create flashcards
- revise on topics I'm losing marks on
- practice questions

Doctor Who: Audience and Industries

1) Who is the target audience for Doctor Who? Do you think it has changed since 1963? I think the target audience ranges from older viewers as doctor who had come out 1963 which means those people could still be into the show and carry on watching, however there are still younger viewers which could be ages of around 12-50 as it is still a very popular series. 2) What audience pleasures are offered by Doctor Who - An Unearthly Child? Apply Blumler and Katz's Uses and  Gratifications theory to the episode. Make sure you provide specific examples from the episode to support your ideas.
