Y12 exam - Media Paper 2: Learner response

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

WWW- Theory linked to clear explanation

EBI- Consider how different audiences might respond


2) Read the mark scheme for this exam carefully, paying particular attention to the 'indicative content' for each question. Firstly, focus on the unseen question and identify two aspects of the poster that you could have written about in your answer.

  • The representation of youth as diverse in terms of gender and race.
  • The way events, issues, individuals and social groups (including social identity) are represented through processes of selection and combination

3) Look at the indicative content for Q1 again and make a note of any theories or examples of media terminology you could have used in your answer.

The use of props to denote the narrative and genre elements

4) Now focus on the TV 25-marker. Read this exemplar response for the TV question and pick out three arguments, phrases or theories from the essay that you could use in a future question on Capital and Deutschland 83.

"The Daily Mail’s review of capital described it as ‘more packed with left-wing causes than Jeremy Corbyn’s diary’ which suggests a preferred reading that is left-wing and socialist."

"D83 is a text that enjoyed a very different reception globally compared to when first broadcast in Germany."

"D83 as a whole reinforces hegemonic capitalist ideologies and ultimately takes a pro-Western viewpoint. The West is presented as more colourful and desirable with key aspects of mise-en-scene and sound reinforcing this."

5) Finally, identify three things you need to revise for Media Paper 2 before your next assessment or mock exam.

I need to practise exam questions to get my timings right as well as my exam techniques right.
I should do more research on Capital and the social context of it.
I should also watch all of the episodes for both CSP's
