Media Paper 1 PPE LR
1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to).
2) Did you succeed in meeting or exceeding your target grade for A Level Media? If not, how many additional marks do you need to achieve your target grade in this paper?
I didn't reach my grade goal as I was 1 below it. To meet my target grade for the exam section, I need to hit about 8 marks.
The grade boundaries for this paper:
A* = 78; A = 68; B = 56; C = 46; D = 36; E = 26.
Now read through the AQA mark scheme. This is vital as the paper was an official specimen exam paper and therefore the mark scheme tells us a lot about what AQA are expecting us to produce. The original question paper is here if that is helpful too.
3) Write a question-by-question analysis of your performance. For each question, write how many marks you got from the number available and identify any points that you missed by carefully studying the AQA indicative content in the mark scheme:
Example: Q1: 5/8 marks
Overall media language usage is consistent with media type codes and conventions (flyer / electronic advertising), overall media language usage is consistent with media form codes and conventions (flier / electronic advertising).
The syntagm is made up of visual and verbal signifiers (dominant meanings may include the mouth, the name of the artist, terms like LAUNCH)
Additional points: didn't mention codes and conventions of music promotion flier/poster; didn't discuss unconventional focus on mouth rather than eyes; didn't discuss idea that gender stereotypes are ironically reinforced to emphasise 'outsider' element of artist.
Q2: 3/12: Not to mention the unseen image: the product uses both form and representation traditional elements (layout, composition, femininity index indicators [ lipstick, exposed flesh ], typeface selection) but without conviction.
Any comfort usually offered by a standardised convention is denied: it refuses to be framed, to be dealt with. What we're left with is her non-European ethnicity/culture and a glimpse of something that's uncomfortably revealed with the album title almost scored into the flesh the various texts are equally unhelpful.
Boys even write love songs? In a music industry still dominated by unique ' boys ' singing of their various loves for girls in general, this is another double take, traditional only at first glance, at which point we are brought in
q3: 4/9
4) Look at Question 4 - a 20-mark essay evaluating how useful Judith Butler's theory of gender performativity is. Write a full essay plan for this question using the indicative content in the mark scheme and with enough content to meet the criteria for Level 4 (top level). This will be somewhere between 4-6 well-developed paragraphs planned in some detail.
Introduction:
Butler Statement is accurate that the success of gender is more complex than we think.
Paragraph 1:
Not to mention the unseen image: the product uses both form and representation traditional elements (layout, composition, femininity index indicators [ lipstick, exposed flesh ], typeface selection) but without conviction.5) Based on the whole of your Paper 1 learner response, plan FIVE topics / concepts / CSPs / theories that you will prioritise in your summer exam Media revision timetable.

q3: 4/9
- EBI: Fantasy elements by special effects and transformations
- The path through which the artist dances, with its unlikely lay through an imaginary city, resembles the Wizard of Oz's yellow brick road (Michael Jackson had previously starred in a film adaptation – The Wiz)
Q4 8/20
EBI: Butler's gender ideas include:
• sex and gender
• gender as performativity ('a stylised repetition of acts')
• gender as historical, rather than natural, situation.

Introduction:
Butler Statement is accurate that the success of gender is more complex than we think.
Paragraph 1:
- The females are sexualised
- ''golden age''
- Male domination
- Butler
Paragraph 2:
- Gender is a performance
- Masculinity is in crisis
Conclusion:
- The past enforces traditional values
- furthermore the present supports fluidity
Not to mention the unseen image: the product uses both form and representation traditional elements (layout, composition, femininity index indicators [ lipstick, exposed flesh ], typeface selection) but without conviction.5) Based on the whole of your Paper 1 learner response, plan FIVE topics / concepts / CSPs / theories that you will prioritise in your summer exam Media revision timetable.
