Paper 1 Assessment Learner Response (October)

 

1)
WWW: Dyari - a strong response for Q7 on Black Widow. You know the CSPs well in this paper.
EBI: Not enough media theory/terminology to develop/extend responses.

2a) Typography - Upper case and bold, sans serif font used; connotations of importance and power
2b) Non-verbal codes - lighting signifies brand identity with logo being displayed as lights
2c) Photographic codes - Long shot signifies/shows power of the rugby player and his determination

3) Propp's character theory - Audrey Hepburn is the "heroine", the chauffeur is the "hero", the bus driver is the "donor" and the fruit cart is the "villain".
Torodov's equilibrium theory - Equilibrium is first established in the calm, and peaceful town. Disequilibrium is then shown by the fruit cart stalling Audrey Hepburn's bus. A new equilibrium is established once the chauffeur takes Audrey Hepburn on her journey.

4a) Serif font conveys formality and high class
4b) Use of green colour screen conveys that the magazine is fresh and new with white text to signify class and sophistication
4c) Emma Weymouth, the model on the cover, signifies the change in attitude over the years towards race and ethnicity representation in society

5a) The Marvel brand/MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
5b) Use of trailers to build up hype for the movie
5c) "Star Power"/actor interviews

6) I will:
1. Revise CSPs more
2. Study more media terminology
3. Look at model answers to see how I can improve on answering questions

The Skittles in the background are arranged in a rainbow, referencing it's slogan, "Taste the rainbow". - The background is a cloudy sky, further emphasising the rainbow theme of the sweets. - It's slogan, "Taste the rainbow", refers to the many fruity flavours Skittles has, and how colourful they are. - It's colour scheme is bright red with the frequent use of rainbows; this makes Skittles much more recognisable, and sets up a brand identity. 2) The USP (unique selling point) is the fact that Skittles come in many colours and flavours, allowing you to have a different taste experience from other sweets/candy brands. Many people like Skittles for the many flavours and styles they have available (e.g. Sour Skittles, Tropical Skittles, et...
