Magazines and music video assessment learner response

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

WWW-You've done well at considering the emotive side of these questions

EBI-Read the questions carefully to avoid going off track- only consider design/layout for Q2 

14/29 grade-4

2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Write down the mark you achieved for each question: 

Q1: 1/2
Q2: 6/12
Q3: 2/6

Q4:2/3

Q5: 3/6

3) Look specifically at question 2. Use the indicative content in the mark scheme for question 2 to write three connotations of the design and layout of Tatler.
The colours on Weymouth's dress has pastel colours in baby pink, blue and white giving her a natural glow.
These colours contrast with a classic background of nature to convey the idea purity and simple yet beautiful nature.
The designing specifically attracts audience with the font and colour contrast

4) Now look at question 3 - Heat magazine. Use the indicative content in the mark scheme to write three ways celebrities are represented in Heat magazine
  • Celebrities on cover tend to be reality TV or pop stars – celebrities generally from more working class backgrounds so again creating a point of contact with a working or middle class audience.

  • Harry and Meghan feature prominently – the ultimate celebrity couple for Heat combining British Royalty with American actress. 
  • Focuses on celebrities’ relationships – ‘double life’, ‘secretive star’, ‘baby daddy’, ‘Giovanna’s heartache’ etc. Suggests these are important developments audiences want to hear the latest on.


5) Look at question 5 - Arctic Monkeys and audience identity. This is a real AQA past question with lots of potential answers given in the mark scheme. Choose three answers that specifically refer to the Arctic Monkeys CSP and write them here. 

1.The audience can gain a sense of identity was the group is wearing standard teenage rock band garb of plain t-shirts, jeans and trainers that can easily be replicated by fans.
2.Also it is more of a jam session with friends rather than a music videos which fans can also do.
3.Music videos might offer behind the scenes which they mess up or break up which tells fans making mistakes and error is very normal.

6) BLACKPINK - How You Like That didn't come up in this assessment. If this CSP comes up in your end of Year 1 exam, what three things about BLACKPINK and How You Like That could you try to include in your answer? 

1.Blackpink have a very fast paced dancing, camerawork and editing
2.Footage is edited to match the music
3.The choice of props, location, costume and facial expression should relate to brand identity of the artist/band
