Media Paper 2

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 in this paper? If not, how many additional marks do you need to achieve your target grade in Paper 2?
i did not meet my target grade aThese are the grade boundaries we've used, based on last year's A Level exam but raised slightly to account for the fact they will probably move up slightly (out of 84):  

A* = 75; A = 66; B = 54; C = 44; D = 32; E = 20.

Now read through the AQA mark scheme for Paper 2 - you'll already have looked at this in class when marking the exam booklet of other students' responses. The original Paper 2 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:
Need to add;-

building myth by using signs— 
 American hero, 
aggressive yet compassionate and reflective.

-Link to csp more; 
the linear–rather than the open world associated with Sims Freeplay
nature of the Metroid and Tomb Raider gameplay may be used to argue that there is little space for interactivity between viewers, making the theory of effects more true

The development contexts are more important and significant than any' writers ' purpose, as it is impossible for individuals to transcend social and cultural contexts

The prevailing paradigm, the belief system and the conceptions of truth influence all media production

It is still possible to interpret the construction of femininity as just another type of beauty–the natural, artisanal construction clearly reflects a particular aspect of culture

-The notion of a democratic republic, valuing the independent spirit of masculinity.

Capital work: commissioned and originally transmitted by the BBC, which gives the show international brand recognition–in particular through its BBC America and BBC Worldwide subsidiaries. Kudos, the independent producer of the show, specialises in TV shows that can be distributed or refurbished on the US market, making it characteristic of contemporary media companies working internationally rather than nationally• Freemantle (International Production and Distribution Company), Pivot TV (US) and BBC Worldwide are in deals to distribute the show worldwide.

Example: Q2: 13/25 marks
Additional points: I didn't mention media effects theories such as cultivation theory; I didn't focus on the question asking 'how valid' are media effects theories; I could have discussed the effect representations of women have on male gamers as suggested by Anita Sarkeesian; I could have discussed the ideological impact of The Sims on young gamers indoctrinated into the American capitalist dream...

4) Look at question 4 - the synoptic question on TV. Write a full, new essay plan for this question using the indicative content in the mark scheme (focus particularly on distribution) and taking care to include at least one paragraph that addresses the synoptic element. You can use bullet points but make sure you offer 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: 
introduce cps that I'm going to talk about and how they apply to 
paragraph 1: speak about Deutschland 83, netflix, streaming, subtitles target wider audiences.
Paragraph 2: money, real-life pastiche financial crisis, London culture of London
Paragraph 3: Deutschland 83 more global because of the nature of the cold war which is more commonly recognised than the financial crisis of capital
paragraph 4: Life hacks relevant and wide-ranging topics which apply to every 
paragraph 5: end with the csp which attempts to appeal to the global public and the csps which appeal to the national audiences (capital)

5) Based on the whole of your Paper 2 learner response, plan FIVE topics / concepts / CSPs / theories that you will prioritise in your Easter Media revision timetable.

  • post modernism
  • deutrschland 83
  • common letter to the free
  • capital
