January assessment learner response
1) Type up your feedback in full
WWW: A strong assessment with some excellent with points - particularly in Q6. Well done
EBI: in Q3 you needed to detailed analysis of the poster to reach the top levels
-revise industry terminology
2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully (you'll need your Greenford Google login to access this). Write down the mark you achieved for each question:
Q1: 1/1
Q2: 1/1
Q3: 3/8
Q4: 0/2
Q5: 2/2
Q6: 13/20
3) Look specifically at question 3 - did you successfully write about both the preferred and oppositional readings? Did your answers match any in the mark scheme? Copy in one answer from the mark scheme that you could have used.
I explained what each reading was. However, i didn't apply analysis which if I did i would have achieved a higher mark. A example of an answer i could have wrote was the following.
• Women are portrayed in a subversive / non-conventional way as their
strength and independence is highlighted by the image (pose / pride in
facial expression etc.)
• This is an empowering image as she is looking directly at the target
audience (women) with a strong face so they can relate to her power and
resilience and aspire to be similar / mobilise into action.
• The rolling up of the sleeves has connotations of getting ‘stuck in’ and
ready for hard work and action. Her tied back hair also connotes taking
her job more seriously than her appearance.
• The bicep has connotations of masculinity and the clenched fist suggests
being tough and strong.
• Verbal codes: the text complements the image as it uses the collective
pronoun ‘We’ to involve other women and the positive phrase, ‘can do it’
with an exclamation for reinforcement of the message.
4) Now look at question 4. Write a definition of vertical integration plus the benefits of it to revise this key industry terminology. You may find the blogpost on ownership and control helpful here.
when a company owns various stages of the production process within the same industry. this can lead to more profit and can also cut down on cost of production.
5) Finally, look at your 20-mark essay - question 6. Read this exemplar answer to help give you an idea of what a top-level response looks like. Then, write five points from either the exemplar answer or the mark scheme that you could have used in your answer. This will be excellent revision for a future film industry exam question.
