December Mock Exam: Learner Response Blog Tasks

1) Type up any feedback on your paper (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential). If you only have marks and a grade on the paper, write a WWW/EBI yourself based on your scores.

Feedback:

"WWW - This is a solid exam with the potential to go much higher: your opinions on media issues are strong."
"EBI - 20-mark essays are the key to a 6+ grade. Paragraph depth, organising your argument and providing examples from the CSPs will help here." - Grade 4, 36 total

definition and example of non-diegetic sound (Q1.1 and 1.2).



3) Next, identify three points you could have made in Q1.3 - camerawork and the extract. Look for the indicative content in the mark scheme - these are the suggested answers from AQA.



4) Now look at Q1.4 in the mark scheme - pick out two points from the mark scheme that you could have included in your answer.



5) Focus on Q2 - the 20-mark essay on representations of age and social and cultural contexts. Pick out three points from the mark scheme that you didn't include in your answer.



6) Turning your attention to Section B, write a definition and example of user-generated content - use the mark scheme to check it.



7) Look at Q4 - the 20-mark essay on the power of influencers. Pick out three points from the mark scheme that you didn't include in your own answer. 



8) Now look at Q5 - the 20-mark essay on regulation and the internet. Again, pick out three points from the mark scheme that you didn't include in your own answer.



9) On a scale of 1-10 (1 = low, 10 = high), how much revision and preparation did you do for your Media mock exam? Be honest here - it's a good chance to think about how to approach the next set of mock exams.



10) List three key things you want to revise before the next mock exams in February (e.g. particular CSPs, terminology, exam technique etc.)

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.

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.
