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).

WWW: These are some good points in place but mainly we need to use this to learn exam techniques for paper 2 

EBI : Question focus + 20 mark essay 

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.

We use CLAMPS to remember mise-en-scene. Example of it are costume and in the extract this is shown of how the kids were wearing clothes that teenagers wear. 

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. 

Characters:

• Narrative theory: Propp – character types. Lyra and Will as heroes who the audience can

identify with and accompany on their exploration of this empty city. The audience are

clearly positioned to sympathise with Lyra and Will when they initially face the two other

children.

Sound:

• Music and sound effects are used during the chase scene to create pace, drama and

excitement. This suggests to the audience that a narrative development is likely to follow –

an action code.

Narrative theory

• Todorov (equilibrium): The empty city creates a sense of disequilibrium – that something

has gone wrong and needs to be repaired or at least understood by the characters.

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. 

His dark materials 

• The subversion of gender stereotypes with Lyra and Will is striking – Will is concerned with

hygiene, sleeping arrangements and cooking. Lyra has no interest in these things at all but

leads the chase, is happy exploring on her own and shows bravery throughout.

Doctor who 

• The storylines reflect events in society at the time of production, e.g. in Doctor Who the

Daleks were initially seen as representing the Nazis, especially in the 1960s when WW2 was

still a recent memory for many of the audience. Since then the Daleks have continued to

represent totalitarianism, although in some recent episodes they have been more

humanised.

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? 

1- My exam techniques 

2- Revise 

3-older content

 Camera Movement :  Handheld : they use this to show the urgency to find the criminal and the movement is perfect for it . It gives the audience a exciting feeling .  Crane : they used this to show the whole scene and for the action scene which gives a dramatic feeling to the scene . It gives the audience a perfect picture of the location the scene is happening .  Zoom : They used the zoom to show what the character is gonna do next or how they feeling that time because the person is surrounded with police and he realised he is trouble and he looks nervous . It shows the audience what emotion the character is feeling .  Editing :  Film transitions : cut: it gets the  audiences attention as there is alot of them and showing different things at ones giving a exciting feeling to watch it further .  Pace of editing : the way the cuts were so fast will definitely get the audiences view as there were 80+ cuts under 4 mins and each showing different angl...

A medium close up is from your head to your shoulders and it affects the audience by picking up gestures and facial expressions while maintaining a sense of the background .   - The second camera shot is close up .
