Year 11 Paper 1 assessment: Learner Response

-
1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to).
WWW: Joty, you started off well but what happened towards the end? Strong analysis of unseen product (Q21) and good knowledge of Galaxy CSP (Q4)

EBI: There are gaps in your knowledge e.g. Tatler (Q3) and perhaps Film. Revise/work on timings.


2) Look at the mark scheme for this assessment. For Question 2 (12 mark unseen) use the indicative content in the mark scheme to identify three points that you could have referred to in your answer.
-Non verbal codes: athletic body connotes that subject is well conditioned and prepared for "battle"
-Body stance / position connotes that the subject is ready to face and overcome any
opponent.
-Verbal codes:The text is positioned over the top of the tyre to signify the challenge and create
synergy between the image and the message in the text.

3) For Question 3 (Galaxy - narrative features) use the mark scheme to write down the main narrative theories and how we can link them to the Galaxy advert CSP. 
-Character types can be seen as outdated stereotypes of masculinity and femininity
(‘damsel in distress’ scenario) with Audrey Hepburn cast as the ‘heroine’ character
type (Propp) with the male chauffeur coming to her aid as the ‘Hero’ archetype and
rescuing her.
-There is disequilibrium at the start when the village is associated with chaos (fruit
falling, bus stopping, people shouting). This is juxtaposed with the calm, heroic
persona that the audience encounters when they meet Hepburn and, when the new
equilibrium is restored at the end, the sweeping vista suggests endless possibilities /
traditional happy ending at the closure of the narrative.
-The use of intertextuality: The narrative references Roman Holiday so rewards
audiences who have knowledge of the glamour of old Hollywood. The narrative is a
parody of the original film where Audrey Hepburn’s character steals Gregory Peck’s
Vespa motorcycle and he jumps on the back whilst Italians shout at them, a bus
goes past and a lady drops fruit.
4) Now look at Question 4 - Tatler and social/cultural contexts. Use the mark scheme to identify three points you could have made in your answer here.

5) On Section B, focus on Question 7 - film industry and Black Widow. Use the mark scheme to identify three ways Black Widow was marketed to its audience.
-• Star Power: most big-budget mainstream films and blockbusters will use Star Power
to attract audiences to their film. The main star in Black Widow is Scarlett Johansson
who is very well known and has established fans.
-• Section of the Marvel website with gallery, story synopsis, character posters and
opportunities to buy or stream the movie.
-Social media profiles on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Social media and
YouTube advertising was also heavily used by Marvel to promote the film including
using tweets from audience members on massive billboards.

6) Finally, write down three things you are going to work on before your next mock exam in December (e.g. time management; revising CSPs etc.)      

-time management/answering all questions thoroughly and within the time frame
-Revise old CSP
-Practice past papers to get used to exam environment

BLINKS. 2) What audience pleasures are offered by the music video for How You Like That? Diversion: music video conventions – performance, effects, fast pace etc. Personal relationships: Fan interaction online through social media is a key element of K-pop’s global success. Fans feel like they ‘know’ the band members. Personal identity: K-pop fandom often involves copying the look of band members and seeing their own style reflected on screen. Surveillance: Western audiences gain knowledge of Korean music and culture. 3) Pick out three particular shots, scenes or moments in the video that would particularly appeal to BLACKPINK fans.

Doctor Who: An Unearthly Child Language and Representation blog tasks

-
1) Write a summary of the notes from our in-class analysis of the episode..   Camerawork and sound: Due to the 1960s technology, the camera work in this episode is quite poor. There are few to no cuts in the scenes, and they are incredibly sluggish and chunky. When two characters are speaking, medium shots are used, and close-up shots are used to show the characters' emotions and facial expressions. Throughout the entire show, the wording and pictures are fairly straightforward. Additionally, sound work was really straightforward. There wasn't much, if any, background music. Susan's portable radio also connects the period of production to the radio pop songs it plays. Additionally, the theme song has a sci-fi and alien-like quality. Mise-en-scene:When Susan initially appears, she is dancing and dressed like a teenager from the 1960s. Her hairstyle and attire are classic 1960s fashion. The scene is quiet dark and frightening as the two professors wander around the junkyard.
