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 : you started well ; good answers on clip

EBI : 20 mark essay holding you back

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 used CLAMPS to remember mine-en-scene. One example is the costume that Lyra was wearing looked clean and different compared to Will to suggest they are from different worlds

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. 

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.

Barthes (enigma and action codes): Action codes – the music, the chase scene, the confrontation between the children. Enigma codes: why is the city empty? Who are they chasing? What do the Spectres look like and is Will in danger? Key lines of dialogue: “Where are the grown-ups?”; “Since the attack, Spectres are everywhere”.

Binary opposition: Lyra and Will are presented as binary opposites to the other two children. The lack of grown-ups creates a sense of young/old binary opposition (particularly as children are not in danger from Spectres).

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. 

The Doctor was a white male, most often with a younger female companion,
reflecting and reinforcing traditional gender roles of the times, with the man as powerful
and in control and the woman as helper. Women’s helper role often been to provide an
emotional, empathetic side to the programme. Reinforcing the idea that men are active,
action-centred while women are more passive, emotional and sensitive

Representations of teenagers have shown both continuity and change. Both Susan in the
1963 Doctor Who and Lyra in His Dark Materials are high-achieving or brave, intelligent or
strong and determined. However, Susan in the 1963 Doctor Who seems more childish and
has little control over her own life. She is more obedient to adults such as her grandfather.
In His Dark Materials, Lyra is more capable, more active and more in control – she is not
bothered what Will thinks of her

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? 

- Do past exam papers

- write more flashcards 

- overall good performance in all my tests

Mise-en-scene: Stranger Things analysis

  Costume: The character at the start is wearing a white lab coat. This suggests to the audience that the character works at a government lab and that something dangerous is going to happening since he is running away because of how scared and terrified he is. lighting: At the start of the trailer a character was seen running from a mysterious character and then light was flickering and it was very dark; it also happened throughout the trailer. This suggests to the audience that when ever the light starts flickering and it gets dark the same character will appear again. setting: The building at the start of the trailer was a government lab; the sign says restricted and later on the trailer we see a dark foggy forest which then suggests that something bad is going to happen.
