Year 13 Final Revision

Year 13, my darling year 13. It's the final day before your exam and you have worked extremely hard. For the last stretch, here is your last PowerPoint! Scroll through for all past exam papers and a break down of what has come up before.

If OCR worked on the basis of what hasn't come up in a while, I would suggest 1a) Post production or using conventions from real media texts and 1b) genre, audience and media language.

Sample Opening Paragraph

The character of Nick is seen at a building site, asking for his old job back. A series of medium close ups and a three-way shot reverse shot between Nick, the man in the van and his employer emphasises the dramatic burns to the side of Nick’s face. The men are seen to appear nervous with frequent eye contact exchanges between the employer and the man in the van showing their discomfort. They apologise for having nothing for him, saying that it is due to a lack of jobs although it is evidently because of his new disabled status. This represents the disabled in a stereotypical way as they are perceived as pitied. The facial expressions and apologetic tone of voice indicate that Nick’s character is pitied by the others who are more able and not afflicted by disability.
