December mock exam: Learner Response blog tasks

-

 1) Type up any feedback on your paper (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential). If you only have marks and a grade on the paper, write a WWW/EBI yourself based on your scores.

mark: 53 = grade 6

WWW-  A strong exam with the potential to go higher! Well done! Engagement with media debates in section B is particularly good

EBI- The 20-mark essay on television is holding you back here. Examples from both CSPs are crucial here along side a clear and coherent argument.

2) Use the mark scheme for this Paper 2 mock to read the answers AQA were looking for. First, write down a definition and example of non-diegetic sound (Q1.1 and 1.2). 

 - all sounds generated within the world of the drama

-any example of dialogue from the extract such as ‘When Lyra says, “So you’re a kitchen boy then?”

3) Next, identify three points you could have made in Q1.3 - camerawork and the extract. Look for the indicative content in the mark scheme - these are the suggested answers from AQA.

• Will’s suggestion that they work together is made while Lyra is shown in a medium close-up over-the-shoulder shot. This allows the audience to see her reaction – a slight smile

• As Lyra walks into the house, the camera moves backwards with her – a faster-paced dolly shot to signal to the audience that things are changing, the relationship is moving on. Will is left out of focus and trying to keep up – once again communicating to the audience the power imbalance in Lyra’s favour.

 once will places it on the table the camera focuses on the food Will has cooked seems to establish him as the less dominant person in the relationship.

4) Now look at Q1.4 in the mark scheme - pick out two points from the mark scheme that you could have included in your answer.

the camera zooms in on will's expression, showing his defeat against Lyra once again showing that she is a force that will cannot control subverting stereotypes of males being dominant over women,

after this Will goes down the stairs but the camera stays with Lyra showing that Lyra is the leader between the two of them.

5) Focus on Q2 - the 20-mark essay on representations of age and social and cultural contexts. Pick out three points from the mark scheme that you didn't include in your answer.

in HDM people dressed in religious clothing are villainised which is a reflection a modern society, being able to criticise religion is a more modern idea unlike in past.

In HDM Mrs.Cultur  is a mother who isn't present in her daughters life leading to stronger ties to friends rather than family.

• Doctor Who has status and authority; he expects and commands deference. However, the audience are positioned to view him as a villain for much of this episode.    

6) Turning your attention to Section B, write a definition and example of user-generated content - use the mark scheme to check it.

material contributed to media or posted on websites by non-professionals

7) Look at Q4 - the 20-mark essay on the power of influencers. Pick out three points from the mark scheme that you didn't include in your own answer. 

• Even Marcus Rashford is not immune to criticism however. He has been accused of being too political and fans and critics have told him to ‘stick to football’.

• Marcus Rashford’s Instagram engagement rate of 6% is exceptionally high. With more than 15m followers on Instagram this means an incredible number of ‘likes’ and ‘comments’ on his post.

• By the end of 2019, the influencer marketing industry was worth some $8bn a year. One recent report by Insider Intelligence predicted that it would grow to $15bn globally by the end of 2022..

8) Now look at Q5 - the 20-mark essay on regulation and the internet. Again, pick out three points from the mark scheme that you didn't include in your own answer.

 website should be blocked by default (though in some cases customers can opt in to this material) – categories include dating, drugs, alcohol and
tobacco, drugs, suicide, self-harm, gambling, file-sharing and weapons.

9) On a scale of 1-10 (1 = low, 10 = high), how much revision and preparation did you do for your Media mock exam? Be honest here - it's a good chance to think about how to approach the next set of mock exams.

on a scale of 1 - 10 im about a 2. For the next exams I can revise television as that's where I am weakest.
