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- a strong exam with clear potential to go even higher with a few improvements to exam techniques
ebi- focus on clip in 1.2 and 1.3
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.

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. 

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colonialist attitude seems very outdated now and more recent seasons have shown a much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

  1) What  key conventions  of print adverts can you find and what are the  connotations  or deeper meanings of each convention?  For each convention, write about how it communicates meaning to the audience. See the Maltesers advert above for an example of how to do this. the photo of the image tells/shows us what the actual image of. the rainbow in the background suggests  by implying that it's possible to also "harvest" the rainbow, the ad promotes the candy as something to be experienced, not just eaten.   The slogan ``taste the rainbow'' is famously associated with Skittles candy, which has a variety of fruit flavours represented by different colours. While you can't literally taste a rainbow, the expression suggests experiencing a wide range of flavours and sensations, much like the diverse colours of a rainbow. The different colours of the rainbow show us the different colours of the skittles in the packet and the different flavours. 2) What...
