GCSE Media Assessment: Learner Response

GCSE Media Assessment: 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).

WWW - This is a strong first assessment in Media - the final two questions are particularly strong. Well done!

EBI - The challenge now is hitting that level throughout.

- Revise terminology and read the question carefully.

- Develop your unseen text analysis (Q3)

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

Grade 5

Q1 - 0/1 | Q2 - 1/1 | Q3 - 4/12 | Q4 - 1/2 | Q5 - 5/6 | Q6 - 5/8

 3) Identify one of your stronger questions. Why did you do better on this question? Use the mark scheme to help you with this.

Two of the questions are tied in marks (Q5 & Q6) so I'll pick Question 6 since it was intended to have a lot more writing. I spent a lot of my time on that question.

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.

Q1 - Didn't think it through and rushed.
Q3 - Could've spent more time on it and I could've wrote down the stuff that I was thinking which would've given me extra marks but I don't remember why I didn't.

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. 

Analyse the Heat advert featuring Beyonce (Figure 1) to show how connotations are
created to communicate meaning.
Her red dress, the red text and the red background shows us that red is the theme. The colour red can indicate power, fearlessness, passion, intensity, sensuality and can be associated with strong emotions and also aligns with the text "HEAT"
Beyonce wearing a revealing red dress can suggest that the product itself is captivating and seductive.
By placing Beyonce in the centre, the ad shows us her as the main attraction, her posture and her facial expression reinforces the idea that using the product will make you the centre of attention and resembles confidence

Narrative, use of music, slogan, celebrity 2) What is the key message the Galaxy advert is communicating about its chocolate? The slogan for the advert will help you with this question. The key message for this Galaxy advertisement is hinted at in the slogan, "Why have cotton when you can have silk?" Silk is a material that is more luxurious than cotton, and in the advertisement itself, we can visibly see that the woman eats the chocolate in the fancy car, which presents Galaxy as a luxury lifestyle. 3) Who is Audrey Hepburn and w hy did Galaxy select Audrey Hepburn for this advert?  Because she was a Hollywood film star in the 1950s and the advertisement setting was set in the 1950s, Audrey Hepburn had passed away; therefore, they used CGI and permission from the Hepburn family to make it happen, as they seemed to have wanted the advert to rely

Identify the type of camera movement and write about why the director chose to use that camera movement in the scene and what effect it has on the audience)   At 0:58 , the camera intentionally shakes to create a sense of chaos and disorientation. This technique makes the audience feel like they are right in the middle of the action by sharing the tension and adrenaline, which can make the chase more intense. The ariel shot at 1:46 , often taken from helicopters or drones, are used to provide a bird's-eye view of the chase. This type of camera movement gives the audience a broader perspective of the chase. At 2:21 , the camera shakes are more noticeable as the height increases, which undoubtedly indicates to the audience that a fall from here can be lethal (2: Pick two aspects of editing in the Minority Report clip and write about what effect it has on the audience) The pace of editing at the start of the scen
