Paper 2 mock exam: Learner response

 Paper 2 mock exam: Learner response


1) Type up your feedback in full 
www: the first half of q4 shows potential but overall this needs to be a lesson in the amonut of revsion and preperation required for the summer exams.
ebi: question focus is key. you seem to confuse Gentlewoman and Taylor swift.
-revsie the CSPs.

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 need to revise the CSPs and leartn how to link theorists to the questions.
I am two grades away.
These are the grade boundaries we've used, based on real AQA exam grade boundaries (out of 84):  

A* = 70; A = 62; B = 51; C = 40; D = 30; E = 20.

Now read through the real AQA mark scheme for Paper 2. 

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:
Q1:4/9
-  need to focus more on the qustion and know what the question is asking.
Q2:3/25
-i need to focus more on the question and not write things that are not relevant (regulation).
Q3:7/25
-i need to link my answer to ideligies, values and beliefs.
Q4:9/25
-i linked two CSPs togher and got confuced, i need revise more and know the differneces.


4) Look at question 4 - the synoptic question. How many of the four key concepts did you cover in your answer? Write a new essay plan for this question using the indicative content in the mark scheme and taking care to include at least three of Language - Representations - Audience - Industries. You can use bullet points but make sure you offer enough content to meet the criteria for Level 5 (top level). This will be somewhere between 3-4 well-developed paragraphs planned in some detail.
• how audiences are grouped and categorised by media industries, including
by age, gender and social class, as well as by lifestyle and taste
• how media producers target, attract, reach, address and potentially construct
audiences
• how media industries target audiences through the content and appeal of
media products and through the ways in which they are marketed, distributed
and circulated
• how specialised audiences can be reached, both on a national and global
scale, through different media technologies and platforms
• how media organisations reflect the different needs of mass and specialised
audiences, including through targeting.
• the role and significance of specialised audiences, including niche and fan, to
the media.
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.
CSPs: 
-Gentlewoman
-Taylor swift
-GQ

Oppositional- Given that the fingerprints...
