Media Assessment 2 learner response (feb mock)
1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep it confidential).
WWW: Jaspreet, top performance throughout, well done! Your Q2 + Q3 were particularly excellent - lots of knowledge and understanding demonstrated e.g. James Murdoch reference for Q3 on PSBs. This exemplifies all the detailed blog work you're completing.
Next steps: 1) more depth needed for unseen media text analysis- see mark scheme. 2) Q4- although very good- you're missing media text examples to support your argument- this will become easier once we study relevant CSPs however some questions invite you to consider your own knowledge of media texts. LR- see blog
Mark= 35/43 Grade= A
2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully (this has been posted to your exam teacher's Google Classroom). Identify at least one potential point that you missed out on for each question in the assessment.
Q1) The gold, textured colour scheme to the main text offers connotations of wealth, success and luxury – reflecting both Stormzy’s recent success and also qualities associated with the genre of music (rap/grime).
Q2) I got full marks
Q3) I got full marks
Q4) Bandura’s social learning theory suggests people copy behaviour seen on screen. However, the experiment was with children and has been discredited by some studies since. Raises questions about regulation and whether young people should be protected from certain media content. In digital age, also raises question if such regulation is even possible when content can be downloaded and parents are not always aware what their child is consuming.
3) On a scale of 1-10 (1 = low, 10 = high), how much revision and preparation did you do for this assessment? You may also want to think here whether you had completed all the original blog tasks from last term before doing the assessment.
6/10 - could have done a lot more practise exam questions
4) Look at your answer for Question 2. Did you manage to write about three different strategies and three different benefits? It's vital you read the question and follow it exactly.
Yes - got 6/6
5) Look at your answer for Question 3. Did you follow the question guidance and write about both the BBC and commercial broadcasters? What could you have added to this answer to reach a higher mark?
Yes - got 9/9
6) Now look over your mark, teacher comments and the mark scheme for Question 4 - the 20 mark essay question on media effects theory. Write a new paragraph for this question based on the suggested theories/answers in the mark scheme. Make sure it is an extensive, detailed paragraph focused on the question and offering examples from the wider media.
One theory that suggests the media could be dangerous towards audiences is the social learning theory, in which Bandura believed that people copy or imitate whatever they see. Within this approach, Bandura conducted his Bobo doll experiment in which children were tested to see how they'd react to aggressive behaviour displayed towards a bobo doll. The findings showed most of the children the copying the aggressive behaviour onto the doll when left alone with it. This study is a clear example of how the media can be damaging for young people as it can cause them to behave irrationally in the wrong ways. For example, if someone a child who is regularly on TikTok sees someone post something unkind or say bad language and the post gets positive comments, that child is more likely too repost or recreate the same post. This is due to social media platforms being hard to regulated due to the high amount of user generated content that is involved as well as the billions of users that actively post within their free will, making it hard to set restrictions. This is also due to people making things up online and lying anonymously as they know that it won't affect them, which shows how this can be damaging towards audiences.
