Media Paper 2: Learner response
Y12 Media exam: Paper 2 Learner response
Both of these are tricky and the only way to get better is through experience. Even if this exam didn't go completely to plan you will have learned a huge amount about the way these questions are structured and the kind of preparation you'll need to do next year.
Y12 exam - Media Paper 2: Learner response
Create a new blogpost on your Media Coursework blog called 'Media Paper 2 learner response' and work through the following tasks:
1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to).
2) Read the mark scheme for this exam carefully, paying particular attention to the 'indicative content' for each question. Firstly, focus on the unseen question (Q1) and identify two points that you could have written in your answer.
• the skyline of contemporary/futuristic skyscrapers are signifiers of the city, banking/finance etc; this is reinforced by the costumes which suggest white-collar professionals
• the positioning of character and mode of address can be interpreted as signifiers of race and gender (the dominant white male, evasive black male, diminished female)
3) Look at the indicative content for Q1 again and make a note of any theories or examples of media terminology you could have used in your answer.
• the title as a sign anchors the possible meaning of the image – white-collar professionals as gangsters
• processes of production, distribution and circulation by organisations, groups and individuals in a global context
• the relationship of recent technological change and media production, distribution and circulation
• the significance of economic factors, including commercial and not-for-profit public funding, to media industries and their products
5) Finally, identify three things you need to revise for Media Paper 2 before your next assessment or mock exam.
