End of Year 1 Exam Learner Response

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

WWW-good effort on 20 mark question-a good level of detail

EBI-1.2 consider how different elements push the story forward

20/42=Grade 5

2) Look at the mark scheme document linked above. Question 1.1 asks about mise-en-scene. What do we use to remember mise-en-scene? Give one example answer from the clip too - you'll find example answers in the mark scheme.

We use CLAMPS to remember mis-en-scene. setting=empty city

3) Question 1.2 asks about narrative features in the extract. Look at the mark scheme to pick out three possible answers for this question. 

1.Location: the empty city creates its own enigma code with the mystery of what has

happened to the city and the people that lived there.

2.Costumes: Lyra and Will are placed in costumes that reflect the world they are from. This

helps to communicate the wider narrative arc of the show and emphasises the fact they are

‘out of place’ in this city currently.

3.Todorov (equilibrium): The empty city creates a sense of disequilibrium – that something

has gone wrong and needs to be repaired

4) Now focus on Question 2 - the 20 mark essay. Use the mark scheme to pick out one way Doctor Who reflects 1963 and one way His Dark Materials reflects 2020. 

Doctor who-Doctor was a white male, most often with a younger female companion,

reflecting and reinforcing traditional gender roles of the times, with the man as powerful

and in control and the woman as helper. Women’s helper role often been to provide an

emotional, empathetic side to the programme. Reinforcing the idea that men are active,

action-centred while women are more passive, emotional and sensitive

His dark materials-

Lyra is shown as active, determined and intelligent, making her a positive and appealing role

model for teenagers and parents, especially teen girls.

• Will is shown to be caring and sympathetic in the extract, helping Lyra up and listening to

the two girls explain why the city is empty. He subverts masculine stereotypes as it is Lyra

rather than Will leading the chase.
