Media Assessment 1: Learner Response

-

 1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential).

Total:12

Grade:4

WWW: This is a solid first assessment in Media with plenty of potential to build on.

EBI: Read the questions carefully. This costs you in Q6 


2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Write down the mark you achieved for each question: 

Q1: 1/1
Q2: 0/1
Q3:4/12
Q4: 2/2
Q5: 3/6
Q6: 2/8

3) Identify one of your stronger questions. Why did you do better on this question? Use the mark scheme to help you with this.
Q4: I understood that I was meant to connotate what was in the water aid advert. I also explained what the background and the child's expressions. 

4) Identify one of your weaker questions. Why did you score lower on this particular question? Use the mark scheme to help you with this.
Q3: I think that this was a weaker question because I didn't annotate enough for the picture used to answer the question. Meaning I didn't put enough information for my answer to be good enough.

5) Finally, write a new, detailed paragraph for Question 3 - the unseen text 12 mark question. Use the mark scheme to identify anticipated content you can add to your response and make sure you refer to the text and write in detail.
The mise-en-scene used in this advert tells us a lot. For example the background lighting and the red dress are the main colour used in this advert. The red colour tells us that this perfume could be romantic themed or fire themed. The slogan "catch the fever" could emphasise that this perfume is very popular and everyone should have it. The low camera angle makes us think that Beyonce is very powerful.

  WWW: I’m really impressed with your blog work so far – you have made an excellent start to GCSE Media. Your fruit bowls are absolutely stunning and also show you were able to take on the tricky extension task with ‘paste into’ used brilliantly. Keep up the good work!     EBI :   The key area to work on is the depth and detail of your written work – for example, for denotation and connotation you could offer more for the ‘connotation’ and ‘analysis’ parts as this is where you need to offer a range of meanings to access the top levels. Similarly, for the Stranger Things analysis you need to say much more about the potential connotations or deeper meanings that each aspect of mise-en-scene communicates.   LR : Create a new blogpost on your Media blog called ‘Blog feedback and Learner Response’. Copy and paste this WWW/EBI feedback into your blogpost then complete the LR tasks/questions below. Reflect on your first month of Media. What do you feel is your s...

Reception theory

  1) What is the preferred reading of a media text? The meaning the producers intend to communicate. This builds on the idea that producers can position the audience in a certain way and influence their reading so they accept the intended message by using recognised codes and conventions (such as stereotypes). 2) What is the oppositional reading of a media text? The oppositional reading goes against the meaning the producers are trying to create. The audience reject the intended message and construct an opposite reading instead. This can be due to their own social, political or moral beliefs and values.  3) How does the Harry Brown trailer position the audience to respond to the teenage characters in the film? The film Harry Brown positions the teenage characters as very bad people that do bad things. For example, the teenagers are to be burning and destroying things. 4) Why might young people reject this reading and construct an oppositional reading of the trailer? Young peop...
