Year 11 Paper 1 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: Kamile, top effort here! Your unseen print advert analysis was very good! Next steps: A few gaps in knowledge in relation to CSP facts + figures - double check these from blog work. For Q7, more specific methods on how black widow was marketed + promoted.  (grade 6) 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. Upper case and bold – connotations of the important, powerful message of the image and copy. • The white text against a black background and the darkness of the image makes the writing stand out and anchor the message of the text about training being important. Athletic body connotes that the subject is in condition and well prepared for the ‘battle’. 3) For Question 3 (Galaxy - narrative features) use ...

statement of Intent : Coursework

The song that I have chosen is Karma by the creator of Or3o because it discusses about determination despite hardships and how people who try to bring you down will be fought down by their own consequences. giving the message that you should not waste your time with revenge but instead work on your dreams.. My video will involve a lot of scene shifts and symbolism with the use of clothing and actions in order to take advantage of camera angles to show and not tell the messages. My video will highlight the way to improve the community by sending the message that you should not waste your energy and time on people who bring you down, that you should focus on building up on your dream than ruin someone else's dream. I will use a low angled, wide shot that will show a successful person who had gone through hardships. This is because I want to show that they had over powered the people who tried bringing them down in order to represent to power change and a somewhat role reversal from t...

Coursework preliminary exercise

  1) Write a 100 word statement of intent explaining what you are going to make for your preliminary exercise. Statement of intent:  100 words explaining what you plan to make. Example statement of intent [147 words]:    I plan to make a 30-40 second video showing a girl trying to cheer up another girl in a gloomy environment due to how lonely society is now due to social media and the ongoing war today. the beginning of the video will have a girl randomly appear behind the sad girl to represent how a miracle can happen at any moment. the sad girl will have messy hair, sitting down and staring into the distance in an industrial place or a place with trash everywhere. I plan to use mise-en-scene to show how the sad girl feels lost and depressed visually rather than have her look like every other person.    In the middle of the video will have the camera shifting towards nature, symbolising how the escape from industrialisation is in reach and not far away, b...

Coursework: Summer Project 2025

 1) Research: Music videos Watch the following music videos and analyse an aspect of media language for each one: Music video 1: Marshmello x YUNGBLUD x blackbear - Tongue Tied How is narrative used in this music video to engage the audience? Using Propp's theory, we are immedietly introduced to the villains which are the police. This gives the feeling of helplessness as the hero was not introduced yet. The storyline of the video itself also helps engage with the audience as it seems to revolve around police violence. Some audiences  can relate to it. Music video 2: Years & Years - I Wish I Knew How is camerawork and mise-en-scene used in this video? Use CLAMPS to remember the different aspects of mise-en-scene. At the beggining, we see a close-up shot that remains still of a man. His shirt has holes in it, his hair is messy and his expression seems upset. In the background there are birthday decorations but no one else is there. This suggests that no one came to his birth...

End of Year 1 exam: Learner Response

  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). Kamile, a very clear and detailed response for Q1.3 you clearly understand the different audience theories in relation to the clip. Can you rewrite a response for Q1.2 with a focus on narrative theories. Eg. Todorov, Propp and Barthes. 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. CLAMPS  Costume, Lighting, Actor placement/movement, make-up, props, setting. Examples: • Will’s costume – makes him look like he is from our world • The two children they are chasing – costume and make-up to make them look abandoned/homeless. • Setting – empty city. • Actor movement – the chase scene. • Props – the drinks and bread. 3) Question 1.2 asks about narrative features in the extract. Look at the mark ...
