End of Year 1 exam: Learner Response

 End of Year 1 exam: Learner Response


Create a blogpost called '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; Rose, an exellent assessment, lots of credit througghout. Your Q.1.3 on audience the of the anaysis of the clip was detailed.
Nextsteps;
1) write 1 more paragraph for Q1.2 which focuses on how Barthes (enigma and action codes) could be seen through your analysis of the clip.
2) complete the LR blog task.

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.
 AO1a Demonstrate knowledge of the theoretical framework of media studies
Give one mark for each appropriate reference to mise-en-scene in the extract.
Mise-en-scene
• CLAMPS: Costume, Lighting, Actor placement/movement, make-up,
props, setting.
Examples:
• Will’s costume – makes him look like he is from our world
• The two children they are chasing – costume and make-up to make
them look abandoned/homeless.
• Setting – empty city.
• Actor movement – the chase scene.
• Props – the drinks and bread.

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. 
Excellent analysis of the product that is detailed and critically engages

with the nuanced aspects of how media language is used.
• Focus on how narrative features communicate meanings is thorough
and effective.
• Consistent appropriate and effective use of subject terminology
throughout.

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. 
Initially the BBC saw Doctor Who as a very educational programme, to teach teens about
science and history. The BBC has evolved over time and Doctor Who and His Dark Materials
can now both be seen as more geared towards entertainment than education.
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? 
-Revising better
-Know the content and media terms and links.
-Plan ahead of time from exams.

Mise-en-scene;stranger things analysis

Create a new blogpost called 'Mise-en-scene: Stranger Things analysis'.  1) Choose   THREE  aspects of mise-en-scene (e.g. costume, lighting and setting) and write a short paragraph for   each  about the   denotation  and  connotation  and what is communicated to the audience.   Lighting: At the start of the scene you see a man running through a hallway with flickering lights which portrays a eerie affect. There also was a scene at the end of the video where the light bulb kept on flashing which makes the audience feel suspense. Lighting is a very important factor in this episode/scene as the genre is very science-fiction type so they added these effects where it is a scary and uneasy feeling to portray the genre and type of vibe hey wanted to give. Settings: There were a lot of dark settings where there would be dark hallways, dark houses, going home on a bike at night which makes the audience feel apprehensive. The scene where they wer...

Camerawork blog task

  Blog tasks: 1) Pick  three  camera  shots  from the Doctor Who scene and explain what type of shot it is and what meanings or effect they have on the audience. 1 .In second-0:30 they put the actors face close up (CU) which allows the audience to see their emotional reaction and in this clip she is frustrated and felt left out. The director may have put the close up to show her facial expressions, and how she feels. This gives the viewers a clearer view of the character and their facial expressions as well as small detail that you might not be able to see from a far. 2 .In the second 0:53 they show the actors surroundings and the setting. It is shown to be a long shot which shows a lot of the background. This also gives the onlookers a wider perspective of the environment and shows us anything he director might want us to see and notice.  3. In second 0:23 there is a 2 shot which shows two of the actors and in the clip it is a medium close up. This allows ...
