 Year 11 Paper 1 assessment: Learner Response

Total marks: 13                 Grade: 3

1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to).

WWW - Good knowledge of terminology show so now we need to develop our exam technique in the higher- mark questions.

EBI - Revise narrative theory and Galaxy CSP                                                                                                        - revise/ practice social and cultural contexts questions. we will look of  this in class.                                    - More detailed references to the CSP

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.

Dress code has connotations of strength since the trainers are engaged in the activity and the clothes are functional and appropriate for task so they connote success and durability. The make up shows sweat and dirt which has connotations of being ready for action and taking part / effort.

‘Begins off-field’ connotes preparation and a subversive look at sporting events (focussing on the training rather than the event itself) and underpins the above connotation.

Long shot shows the whole power of the body and the effort involved in pushing the tyre.

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. 

Character types can be seen as outdated stereotypes of masculinity and femininity (‘damsel in distress’ scenario) with Audrey Hepburn cast as the ‘heroine’ character type (Propp) with the male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. The clear function of the narrative: to persuade people of the superior quality and sophistication of the Galaxy product.

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

Recent cultural events referenced in cover lines – ‘See EU later’ references Brexit while ‘Love in the time of Corona’ reflects Covid pandemic. Suggests that wealthy British people want to know the latest news and current affairs.

Serif font for title connotes formality, high class and how well established the magazine is (Britain’s oldest magazine).

Emma Weymouth, Marchioness of Bath, cover star – reflects changing attitudes towards race and ethnicity in Britain and the influence of campaigns such as the Black Lives Matter movement.

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.

Specific IMAX promotions with 22 minutes of the film shot in 1.90:1 aspect ratio

especially for IMAX cinemas. Section of the Marvel website with gallery, story synopsis, character posters an opportunities to buy or stream the movie.  Social media profiles on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Social media and YouTube advertising was also heavily used by Marvel to promote the film including using tweets from audience members on massive billboards.

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.)

I am going to revise the CSPS.

I need to develop the exam techniques

I need to work on my time management
