Y12 exam LR

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

Excellent knowledge shown

Work on the unseen 

2) Read the mark scheme for this exam carefully, paying particular attention to the 'indicative content' for each question. This is some of the best analysis you can do as it gives you an idea of what the exam board is expecting. For your LR blogpost, identify ONE point you could have added for the first three questions in Section A:

Q1 (unseen text) additional point/theory:  this advertisement makes heavy use of what Neale describes as ‘instances of repetition’, where familiar tropes and imagery are used to engage with audience expectations around media products.

Q2 (unseen text and CSP) additional point/theory/CSP reference:  this advert was published at the height of the Second Wave of Feminism and can be read as a parodic ‘what if’ in relation to the political demands of the Women’s Liberation Movement.

Q3 (music video) additional point/theory/CSP reference: this can be read as more of a positive stereotype as the young men portrayed are engaging in a form of social activism by creating a political commentary and bringing it to mainstream 80s audiences – demonstrating a heightened sense of social conscience.

3) The Section B CSP focus was on Blinded By The Light. Look at the mark scheme and write a definition of traditional marketing with examples.

Posters, premieres, festivals, reviews.

4) Finally, identify three things you plan to revise before your next Media assessment or mock exam (e.g. terminology, particular theories or CSPs etc.)
