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).
Feedback: Rewrite a response for question 1.2 considering different narrative features e.g. Todorov, Propp, Barthes.
Grade: 4+
Marks: 18/42
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.
To remember mise-en-scene we can remember the word CLAMPS which means:
Costume
Lighting
Actions/Actors/Audience
Make-up and hair
Props
Setting
One example is 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.
• 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.
The original Doctor Who reflected 1963 Cold War anxieties through its villains, like the Daleks, who were a metaphor for fascism and nuclear threat. In contrast, the 2020 adaptation of His Dark Materials reflects its own contemporary concerns, using the totalitarian Magisterium to explore modern-day issues of rising authoritarianism and the suppression of objective truth. Both shows use a science fiction and fantasy lens to engage with the fears and political climate of their respective eras.
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?
