Magazines assessment learner response

1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential).
WWW: 
There is a clear potential in your answer..you understand the terminology and can analyze media text.
Now you need to add the depth to reach the higher levels in the making scheme 
EBI: written English and handwriting is holding you back 


2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Write down the mark you achieved for each question:

Q1:1/2
Q2:6/12
Q3:3/8

3) Did you get any media terminology wrong in the assessment? Make a note of it here for future revision:

No, I did not get any terminology wrong. 


4) Look specifically at question 2 - pick out three points from the mark scheme that you didn't include in your analysis of the unseen Grazia magazine cover.
Colour palette
Royal green to further reinforce connotations that Kate Middleton is married into the Royal
family and emerald green is associated with the monarchy.
Design and layout
All around the main image in a neatly packed style, other features that will appeal are listed.
This communicates to the audience that the magazine has a lot to offer them.
Verbal codes (use of language)
The personal relationship with its reader – ‘When did we stop being honest with friends?’
 Direct mode of address to the audience – ‘To shake up your wardrobe’

5) Now, look at question 3. Use the mark scheme to identify three points you could have made regarding how Tatler reflects British social and cultural values.
The Tatler front cover:
The preoccupation with parties, University, luxury holidays and exclusivity (the ‘Tatler
Privilege Club’) assumes a high level of income and an elitist attitude which may alienate or
offend people from a different social class.
 The cover line referencing ‘Millennial Sloanes’ reinforces the young upper-middle and
middle-class target audience that this magazine could potentially appeal to.
Image is important
The issue is more interested in fashion, merchandise, beauty and ‘lifestyle’ rather than
dealing with news in any depth
 The use of strong make-up suggests luxury and socializing, which has synergy with the cover
lines about socializing and ‘aristo’ which means aristocratic (ruling class).
