EoY Mock LR

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.

23/42 grade 6

www - first half is strong so its just about adding consistency throughout

ebi - question focus

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 - ragged clothes

3) Question 1.2 asks about narrative features in the extract. Look at the mark scheme to pick out three possible answers for this question. 

Location: the empty city creates its own enigma code with the mystery of what has

happened to the city and the people that lived there. This is partially resolved later in the

extract.

Props: the setting and props are both familiar (the drink bottles and bread towards the end

of the sequence) and also other-worldly in keeping with the fantasy genre (the city). The

creates a contrast that suggests the wider narrative arc of multiple worlds (including one

very much like our own).

Actor placement and movement: the chase scene in the extract uses narrative features to

create pace and excitement. The enigma codes include ‘Who are they chasing?’ and ‘Are

they in danger?’ among many others.

4) Now focus on Question 2 - the 20 mark essay. Use the mark scheme to pick out one way Doctor Who reflects 1963 and one way His Dark Materials reflects 2020. 

Traditionally, Doctor was a white male, most often with a younger female companion,

reflecting and reinforcing traditional gender roles of the times, with the man as powerful

and in control and the woman as helper. Women’s helper role often been to provide an

emotional, empathetic side to the programme. Reinforcing the idea that men are active,

action-centred while women are more passive, emotional and sensitive

Representations of teenagers have shown both continuity and change. Both Susan in the

1963 Doctor Who and Lyra in His Dark Materials are high-achieving or brave, intelligent or

strong and determined. However, Susan in the 1963 Doctor Who seems more childish and

has little control over her own life. She is more obedient to adults such as her grandfather.

In His Dark Materials, Lyra is more capable, more active and more in control – she is not

bothered what Will thinks or her and does not defer to him at all.

5) Reflect on your overall work and exam performance this year. What three things do you need to work on or revise in Media for Year 11? 

write more vague flash cards - too many points on them

quite good performance over all in my tests

maybe do some more past papers
