Year 11 Paper 1 assessment: Learner Response




1) Type up your feedback: to focus on the longer questions like the 12 marker and to use better English 

a. What Mark and Grade did you get?
5
b. What targets were you given for the longer written questions?
To use better wording and to revise the csps more

2) Look at the mark scheme for this assessment. For Question 2 (12 mark unseen) use the indicative content in the mark scheme to identify three points that you could have referred to in your answer.
Typography
Non verbal codes 
verbal codes

3) For Question 3 (Galaxy - narrative features) use the mark scheme to write down the main narrative theories and how we can link them to the Galaxy advert CSP. 

The structure of the narrative: it follows a linear structure and features versions of iconic actors from the glamorous era of Hollywood  associated with sophistication and desirability. Character types can be seen as outdated stereotypes of masculinity and femininity with Audrey Hepburn cast as the ‘heroine’ character type (Propp) with the male chauffeur coming to her aid as the ‘Hero’ archetype and rescuing her. However, another interpretation would see Hepburn as the ‘Hero’ of the narrative, taking matters into her own hands and forcing the driver of the car into the ‘Helper/Donor’ position, enabling her to complete her quest.

4) Now look at Question 4 - Tatler and social/cultural contexts. Use the mark scheme to identify three points you could have made in your answer here.

Serif font for the front title
cover image reflects British culture
references to royalty

5) On Section B, focus on Question 7 - film industry and Black Widow. Use the mark scheme to identify three ways Black Widow was marketed to its audience.

traditional marketing like posters
trailer, teases and social media
star power




6) Finally, write down three things you are going to work on before your next mock exam in December (e.g. time management; revising CSPs etc.)

Doctor Who camerawork

 Camera shots: The Establishing shot/Wide shot at 0.52 successfully shows us the full room the old lady was in and shows us that we are in the 1960s. This shot was used to give us a perspective of what era we were in, as the furnishing and the candles are not something you would typically see in the 1980s to the 2000s. Also, this shows us the settings the others are in through the computer, with the blue and black colours showing us that it could be some sort of sci-fi show. The close-up shots from 1.10 to 1.20  establish that all the characters seem focused and determined. This emphasises the importance of what is going on, as we see close-ups of all of the characters' facial expressions. This communicates the intensity of the rest of the clip and implies to us that the whole show is going to be intense.   The over-the-shoulder shot at 3.19 portrays that this idea or plan they had is taking place. This shot is impactful on the audience because it shows us that this myste...
