Paper 1 baseline assessment learner response

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

WWW: good effort, top understanding for Tatler CSP in relation to social and cultural contexts in British society.

Next steps : Add more detail / depth to receive top marks - see mark scheme - indicative content for more information.

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.

-Verbal codes: battle has connotations of fighting
-Non-verabl codes: Athletic body 
-Brand Identity

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. 

Propp's Character theory: Hero: Chauffer, Damsel-in-distress: Audrey Hepburn, Donor: Bus driver, Antagonist: fruit cart.
Todorov's Equilibrium theory: Equilibrium at the start with Audrey Hepburn in the bus, disequilibrium as the fruit cart falls over and blocks the bus from progressing, equilibrium re-established as Audrey Hepburn meets a chauffer and is offered a ride.
Binary opposition theory: men vs women, masculinity vs femininity
 
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.

Typography: serif & sans serif : connotates formality
Mise-en-scene: Costume: ball gown
Camera shots: central image is a medium shot

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.

Star Power: Scarlett Johanson 
Billboards, posters, teaser trailers
Tweets, Instagram posts, YouTube, tiktoks

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'll revise my CSPs and practice using flashcards for revision for definitions , I'll manage my time by dedicating specific intervals of my day to study and I'll do more of my media work at home.

Mise-en-scene: Stranger Things analysis

Mise-en-scene is a vital aspect of media language and builds nicely on our work on denotation and connotation. Mise-en-scène is a French term meaning ‘Putting on Stage’.  It refers to the Media language used by the producer in their media product to communicate with their audience so…everything we see on screen. We can remember what this includes using the acronym CLAMPS: Costume Lighting Actor placement and movement Make-up Props Setting When we look at a clip, image or advert in Media Studies we need to be able to identify aspects of  mise-en-scene  and explain the effect it has on the audience.   Choose  THREE  aspects of mise-en-scene (e.g. costume, lighting and setting) and write a short paragraph for  each  about the  denotation  and  connotation  and what is communicated to the audience. Lighting: In the beginning the scene starts outside, at night, only being illuminated by sparse synthetic lighting. This becomes a runn...

Magazines: Typography Photoshop workshop

Image
  "Typefaces give voice to words" There are two main terms that we need to learn: Serif Serif fonts have tabs (or 'feet') at the corners of the letters. Serif fonts are more old fashioned, traditional or authoritative. They are particularly suited to long passages of text as they create a 'line' for the reader to follow. Sans Serif Sans Serif fonts are more modern and do not have tabs or 'feet' on the letters. They are used for titles, headings and create a more contemporary, modern feel to the product. Typography: Photoshop workshop Task 1 Create an A4 document in Photoshop. Choose a font to represent the following words (you may need to Google their meanings). Think about: UPPER or lower case? Font size? Angle? Position on page?
