End of Year 1 exam: Learner Response

 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).

jasveen you demonstrated your ability to recall narrative features eg binary opposition and reception theory 

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.

setting - the area is rural and looks abandoned 

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. #

Location: the empty city creates its own enigma code with the mystery of what has happened to the city and the people that lived there. This is partially resolved later in the extract.
 Props: the setting and props are both familiar (the drink bottles and bread towards the end of the sequence) and also other-worldly in keeping with the fantasy genre (the city).
Costumes: Lyra and Will are placed in costumes that reflect the world they are from.

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.   

Representations of race have also developed to reflect changing social and political contexts. For example, in the 1963 episode of Doctor Who, the Doctor refers to ‘the savage mind’ of ‘Red Indians’ not able to understand advanced technology. This dismissive and colonialist attitude seems very outdated now and more recent seasons have shown a much more positive attitude to those of other cultures and races. His Dark Materials has a much more representative reflection of current British society with a wide range of ethnicity represented on screen.

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?
