paper 2 LR

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


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 and identify two aspects of the poster that you could have written about in your answer.

One aspect about the poster was that i could have focused more on gender and age stereotypes, looking back and after yesterday’s lesson, i can see there were many things i could have written 

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.

4) Now focus on the TV 25-marker. Read this exemplar response for the TV question and pick out three arguments, phrases or theories from the essay that you could use in a future question on Capital and Deutschland 83.

D83 has a left-wing bias in its portrayal of different social classes and political perspectives. In two key party/BBQ scenes, the East is portrayed as joyous and relaxed through Martin's mother's birthday party while General Edel's BBQ in the West towards the end of the episode is awkward, tense and unwelcoming.


This also questions the validity of Hall's theory, as perhaps producers are unknowingly reinforcing ingrained dominant ideologies rather than deliberating encoding a particular viewpoint.


Capital is a state-of-the-nation three-part drama broadcast by the BBC in 2015. It generally met with a positive critical reception but provides evidence of the validity of Hall's theory through the political debate it sparked in British media. The Daily Mail's review of capital described it as 'more packed with left-wing causes than Jeremy Corbyn's diary' which suggests a preferred reading that is left-wing and socialist.



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

1- i need to revise exam timing
2- i also need to look over more gender theorists as i only remembered feminist theorists
3- find a structure to answer essays
