Year 11- Paper 1 Baseline Asessment Learner response

 1) Type up your feedback: No feedback

a. What Mark and Grade did you get? 1

17/42 Grade 4

b. What targets were you given for the longer written questions?

Don't be narrative get straight into character types 

2) Look at the mark scheme for this assessment. For Question 2 (12 mark unseen) use the indicative content in the mark scheme to identify three points that you could have referred to in your answer.

• Representation is generally positive: character represented as smiling/

laughing/happy.

• Character is wearing glasses (essential, given the product) but it does

conform to a stereotype of older people having poor eyesight (could

potentially be an archetype given how prevalent it is in popular culture to

represent older people wearing them);

Facial expression also suggests wisdom/good humour/knowledge, a

positive representation of older people (and suggesting that buying from

Specsavers is a wise and easy thing to do).

3) For Question 3 (Galaxy - Propp's Character Theory) use the mark scheme to write down the main characters that you could have referenced and how we can link them to the Galaxy advert CSP. 

• Audrey as princess and car driver as hero creates a simple Romeo and

Juliet romantic narrative.

• Car driver as (false) hero – he arrives to save the day (apparent hero)

but is demoted to chauffeur so becomes a helper (or donor of his car) –

his heroism is undermined by Audrey to comic effect, making him more

of a false hero.

Bus driver

• Bus driver as donor – he (unwillingly and comically) ‘donates’ Audrey his

cap, which she then uses to subvert the role of the car driver.

• He could also (potentially) be a villain (since his bus is preventing Audrey

from eating her chocolate) or even a dispatcher/Princess’ Father (since

by stopping the bus he has set Audrey off on her quest).

4) Now look at Question 4 (Galaxy - Class Stereotypes). Use the mark scheme to identify three points you could have made in your answer here.

• Audrey is a stereotypically powerful 1950s Hollywood rom-com lead:

feisty, attractive, smartly dressed, slightly shallow (in a comedic and

endearing way) and apparently wealthy, given her outfit and make-up –

the audience is invited to want to be like her (and thus want the

chocolate). She looks out of place on the bus, which might suggest a

countertype to traditional ideas of class and wealth (why is such a

wealthy character travelling in this way?)

• The car driver is a stereotypical ‘leading man’ – handsome, successful

and clearly wealthy, given his outfit, car and behaviour; as with Audrey,

he represents a 1950s Hollywood rom-com ‘Tony Curtis-esque’ figure;

The idea that chocolate is a reward (for women?) could be seen as a

stereotype used to persuade the audience that they should buy it – plays

on the stereotypes of luxury, wealth, and consumerism which are

common in chocolate advertising, particularly when aimed at a female

audience.

5) Next, look at Question 5 - Blackpink & Globalisation. Use the mark scheme to identify three ways the How You Like That music video has been tailored to Blackpink's global fanbase.

• Blackpink’s video includes evidence of globalisation as part of the song is

sung in English (particularly the rap and the chorus) which suggests a

Western influence.

• Some of the costumes worn by members of Blackpink are heavily

Westernised.

• The music video uses Western iconography such as the Chanel logo,

high-fashion costumes, European hair and make-up, teeth grills, hip-hop

and pop dance moves.

6) Lastly, look at Question 6 - Kiss FM & Money. Use the mark scheme to idea two revenue streams that you didn't consider in your response. How do they help to generate money for Kiss FM?

• Kiss Breakfast includes regular advertising breaks, with advertisements

being targeted at the 15–34 demographic.

• KISS belongs to Bauer Media Group, meaning that the conglomerate will

fund the station and offer cross-promotional opportunities, including

magazines and TV features.

• KISS Radio does not appear to have an official store, although several

unofficial online stores selling Kiss merchandise exist, suggesting it may

offer a revenue stream in the future.

6) Thinking ahead, write down three things you are going to work on before your next mock exam in December (e.g. time management; revising CSPs etc.)
1.Csp

2.Theories and structures

3.Time management
