Media Paper 2 learner response

 1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to). 

Q1 Well structured answer but disagree that gangs usually don't wear suits - Godfather 

Q2 Some good ideas about both distribution and consumption but needs more specific information. 

Grade: B 


2) Read the mark scheme for this exam carefully, paying particular attention to the 'indicative content' for each question. Firstly, focus on the unseen question (Q1) and identify two points that you could have written in your answer.

The positioning of character and mode of address can be interpreted as signifiers of race and gender (the dominant white male, evasive black male, diminished female).

The relative size of the figures in relation to the buildings signifies a super-human aspect to the characters, suggesting their omnipotence.

3) Look at the indicative content for Q1 again and make a note of any theories or examples of media terminology you could have used in your answer.

Binge watching, globalisation, target audience, cultural and economic context 

4) Now focus on the TV 25-marker. Use the mark scheme to note down:


- three general comments on the TV industry and cultural/economic contexts:

Developments in technology have created new platforms and screens, changing how people consume TV (e.g. digital and social media use)

Global media companies like Fremantle and RTL help distribute content internationally, showing how economic contexts shape media.

Cultural contexts such as the pandemic and traditional viewing habits still influence distribution and consumption (e.g. prime-time TV slots).

- three points for Capital:


It was scheduled for a Sunday prime time slot, suggesting traditional consumptionhabits are still important.
As a BBC ‘state of the nation’ series, it reflects and represents key cultural contexts.
It was distributed globally via Fremantle, Pivot TV, and BBC Worldwide, showing how even PSB content operates in a global market.

- three points for Deutschland 83:


It was a co-production between AMC, SundanceTV, and RTL, showing how economic and global factors influence production.
It was distributed on Walter Presents in the UK, using both broadcast and digital platforms to reach wider audiences.
It used social media marketing (live tweeting, Spotify playlists, Twitter engagement), showing interactive and changed patterns of consumption.

5) Finally, identify three things you need to revise for Media Paper 2 before your next assessment or mock exam.

I need to revise: Theorists, specific information for capital and deutschland 83.

4. Mise-en-scene recreation

Costumes The first character who hands over the paper is wearing a suit so I had one of my actors in a suit. Lighting The clip has high key natural light so I filmed the scene outside to recreate this. Actors expressions Throughout the scene the characters display feelings of confusion, excitement and shock. I believe my actors were able to accurately display these feelings through the use of facial expressions and tones. Makeup The characters had blood on their face and to recreate this I used fake blood which created a similar look to the characters in the movie  Props In the movie the main prop is the document which is handed to the characters for which I used a sheet of paper and a pen. The script: Man in suit  Sign here. Hands over paper. Michael Wait...Hold on a second. You guys got my license back? Sonia You just signed the adoption papers. Darius The what? Michael The adoption papers? Sonia You are now our son. Both stand. Darius + Michael  Wait what the fuck!? Th...

10. Cinematography Practical

In my cinematography practical ‘Glimpse’ I used cinematography and other aspects of media that we’ve learnt to build a narrative about a man walking somewhere he shouldn’t be and he is then stalked and hunted by a mysterious non-human killer. I used cinematography to build tension and create an eerie atmosphere by using pov shots to make the audience feel as though they’re the ones fighting by letting them see through the eyes of the characters. Shot List: Establishing/Extreme Long Shot - show setting  Very long shot - Main character walks into frame  High angle long shot - character continues walking off screen low angle long shot - shows power of antagonist character medium long shot medium shot - more detail of antagonist  Long shot  Long shot zooms in to medium close up - shows characters expression/feeling Long shot pan - character runs away  Big close up - show what character is looking at/afraid of long shot - character runs away two shot - antagonist cat...
