1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential).

WWW - overall, a very good first A - level assessment : close to top level in Q1 and already there for Q3.

EBI - social and cultural context question. See mark scheme for ideas here and we will also look at this in class.

2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Identify at least one potential point that you missed out on for each question in the assessment.

1 - Narrative codes suggest action, violence and confrontation – genre of order (Shatz) 

2 - In the Ill Manors poster the character possibly reflects social concerns over criminal gangs in

urban settings.

3 - Neale “repetition and difference” – allows producers to evolve genre but maintain audience;

Abercrombie “television producers set out to exploit genre conventions... economic sense”

... “Genres permit the creation and maintenance of a loyal audience.”

3) Read this exemplar response from a previous Year 12 (an A grade) - note this was a slightly different paper in terms of the question wording and also had an additional question 4 (we've updated it to better reflect recent exams). Identify at least one potential point for questions 1-3 from this student's paper that you could have mentioned in your assessment. 

1- enigma codes are key in engaging the audience

2- the difference in ethnicities

3- abercrombie

4) Did you get any media terminology or theory wrong in the assessment? Make a note of it here for future revision, including theories/terminology that you could have used but didn't.

Genre / audience theories  

5) Identify your weakest question and write three bullet points that would improve on your original response. Use the mark scheme and exemplar paper to identify these points - particularly focusing on the anticipated content and the top level descriptors.
