'MIGRAIN Assessment 1: learner response

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

Grade: C 18/29

WWW: Strong response to Q2, you identify how media products reflects cultural and social contexts well.

EBI: Bring in more narrative codes (theories) for Q1 eg Propp, Todorov. Revise genre theories- see mark scheme, make flash cards ect.


2) Read the mark scheme carefully (this will be posted on your Google Classroom. Identify at least one potential point that you missed out on for each question in the assessment.
Q1) Use more theoretical framework to analyse how the poster uses narratve codes.
Q2) Better demonstrate understanding of contexts of media and their influence on media products and
processes
Q3) Link to specific media theories.

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) Todorov's equilibrium theory
2) Black male protagonist associates Nike with an urban/street style.
3) Abercrombie's theory

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.
Equilibrium theory, Character theory

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.
Q1:
- Todorov's theory of equilibrium suggests that the narrative is in a state of disequilibrium due to his gun (prop).
- Propp's character theory suggests the main actor is the hero due to his central placement on the poster.
- Propp's character theory could also suggest he is an antihero due to his dark hoodie, weapon and stern expression.
