End of Year 1 exams: revision and preparation

Your End of Year 1 exams are now fast approaching and it's vital you revise and prepare for these tests.

Your exams will be as follows:

Paper 1: week commencing Monday 24 June

Paper 2: week commencing Monday 1 July

Your Media teacher will confirm the exact dates for your exams as it depends on when your Media lessons are timetabled.

One of the most important aspects of preparing for examinations is knowing exactly what topics could come up in each exam. For your End of Year 1 Media exams, you need to prepare for the following topics:

Paper 1

• Unseen media language analysis
• Advertising & Marketing: OMO, NHS Represent and Galaxy Audrey Hepburn advert
• Magazine: Tatler and Reveal

Paper 2

• Television
• Short extract from either Doctor Who: An Unearthly Child OR Class: Co-owner of a Lonely Heart
• Questions on the extract
• 20 mark essay on BOTH Doctor Who and Class

Please note that our new topic of Radio will NOT come up in these exams but will be examined in PPEs next year.

In summary, you need to revise the following:

• All media language and theory learned throughout the course (remember LIAR - language, industries, audiences, representations)
• Advertising and Marketing CSPS: OMO, NHS Represent and Galaxy Audrey Hepburn advert
• Magazine CSPs: Reveal and Tatler
• Television CSPs: Doctor Who: An Unearthly Child and Class: Co-owner of a Lonely Heart plus all contexts (language - e.g. narrative/genre, industry, audience, representation)
