MEDIA ASSESSMENT FEEDBACK

 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).

Total = 18 = Grade 4

WW - Great start to section

EBI - Notetaking + Question Focus

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 remember mise-en-scene by the acronym "CLAMPS". 

• Will's costume - makes him look like he is from our world
• Actor Movement - The chase scene

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 nuaced aspects of media language is used.
• Focus on narrative features communicates meanings is through and effective.
• Consistent appropiate and effective use of subject termninology.

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. 

In the 1960s, representations were largely of British, white-middle class people. Over time,

- TV drama has developed to be more inclusive and to show a much wider range of

representations. In His Dark Materials, there are people of different ethnicities and

backgrounds.

-

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colonialist attitude seems very outdated now and more recent seasons have shown a much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 ethnicities

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? 

Media Language (e.g., camerawork, editing), the Media Industry (e.g., ownership, regulation), and Audience engagement (e.g., how media texts appeal to different audiences).
