Year 11 Paper 1 assessment: Learner Response

Create a blogpost called '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. you start of well then lose your way a little in this exam if we can add consistency throughout we will be pushing into the top levels

 ebi revise theory and csps narratives and galaxy holding you back here 

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.

Athletic body connotes that the subject is in condition and well prepared for the

‘battle’.

• No direct address but the subject’s eyes are focused on pushing the heavy tyre

(physical exertion) which connotes determination and power in the face of adversity.

This is reinforced by his facial expression which has his mouth open in a roar which

connotes supremacy and effort.

• Dress code has connotations of strength since the trainers are engaged in the

activity and the clothes are functional and appropriate for task so they connote

success and durability. The make-up shows sweat and dirt which has connotations

of being ready for action and taking part / effort.

• Body stance / position connotes that the subject is ready to face and overcome any

opponent.

• The brand name ‘Under armour’ has connotations of battle and war being connected

to sport.

3) For Question 3 (Galaxy - narrative features) use the mark scheme to write down the main narrative theories and how we can link them to the Galaxy advert CSP. 

The character types in the narrative are perceived as traditional portrayals of masculinity and femininity, such as the 'damsel in distress' role, with Audrey Hepburn playing the 'heroine' character as per Propp's theory. In this interpretation, the male chauffeur fulfills the role of the 'Hero' archetype by coming to her rescue. However, an alternative perspective would consider Hepburn as the main 'Hero' of the story, taking control of the situation and placing the driver in the 'Helper/Donor' role, thus aiding her in achieving her goals. The primary purpose of the narrative is to convince the audience of the exceptional quality and elegance of the Galaxy product.

4) Now look at Question 4 - Tatler and social/cultural contexts. Use the mark scheme to identify three points you could have made in your answer here.

Recent cultural events referenced in cover lines – ‘See EU later’ references Brexit while ‘Love in the time of Corona’ reflects Covid pandemic. Suggests that wealthy British people want to know the latest news and current affairs.

Serif font for title connotes formality, high class and how well established the magazine is (Britain’s oldest magazine).

Emma Weymouth, Marchioness of Bath, cover star – reflects changing attitudes towards race and ethnicity in Britain and the influence of campaigns such as the Black Lives Matter movement.

5) On Section B, focus on Question 7 - film industry and Black Widow. Use the mark scheme to identify three ways Black Widow was marketed to its audience.

Specific IMAX promotions with 22 minutes of the film shot in 1.90:1 aspect ratio

especially for IMAX cinemas.

• Section of the Marvel website with gallery, story synopsis, character posters and

opportunities to buy or stream the movie.

• Social media profiles on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Social media and

YouTube advertising was also heavily used by Marvel to promote the film including

using tweets from audience members on massive billboards.

• Marketing Black Widow was a challenge due to the Covid pandemic and it therefore

did not make as much money at the box office as other Marvel films despite this

marketing and promotion.

6) Finally, write down three things you are going to work on before your next mock exam in December (e.g. time management; revising CSPs etc.)
