End of Year 1 exam learner response: Television

-

 WWW: Some great points, particularly Q2

 EBI: Question focus/ focus on clip for 1.2 + 1.3.

Q1.1: 2/2

Q1.2: 4/8

Q1.3: 6/12

Q2: 13/20

TOTAL: 25

GRADE: 6


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.

We use clamps to remember mise-en-scene 

costume: the girls clothes were rugged suggesting they live in a dirty area.


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. 

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.

the setting and props are both familiar but also other worldly.

Lyra and Will are placed in costumes that reflect the world they are from. This helps to communicate the wider narrative arc of the show and emphasises the fact they are ‘out of place’ in this city currently.


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.

In the 1960s, representations were largely of British, white-middle class people. Over time,
TV drama has developed to be more inclusive and to show a much wider range of
representations. In His Dark Materials, there are people of different ethnicities and
backgrounds.

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?


-structure, plot, industries.

Camera movement and editing

-
 CAMERA MOVEMENT:  The camera movement at the beginning of the scene s slow and steady but begins to speed up at 0:55 as the people dressed in uniform begin to chase the guy who is dressed more casually. At 0:58 a handheld camera movement is used. The director could have added this in in order to make the audience feel like they were apart of chase that had started it could also be used as a way to show how the “criminal” is feeling. At 1:05 the director uses a crane shot to show the people dressed in uniform fly down one by one to where the “criminal” is. The director could have used this camera movement to further dramatise and exaggerate the situation that the “criminal” has gotten himself into. At 1:13 (continue of a crane movement) the camera pans outwards and shows the people in uniform surrounding the “criminal” as the camera comes to a still movement the people who’re in uniforms also have their feet planted flat on the ground the director could have included this to s...
