MEST 1 Mock Exam: Learner Response

1. WWW - well structured paragraphs. Fairly balanced coverage of platforms.

EBI - you need to answer the question. No reference to the keyword in the title. Write a into and conclusion that does this.

2. I met my target grade 

3. I could've used a few more points rather than talking just about shot types in question one such as framing and composition.

I could've talked about how Megan Fox was being promoted or the Frank Sinatra.

Talked about the tagline for question three.

Gun violence was seen as glamorous and without consequence.

4. My strongest question in section A was question 3 as it was easier to talk about how males in the trailer as it was dominated by men. It made the question easier to answer and there was lots of points to choose from. 

5. My weakest question was two as I didn't have as many developed and strong points as the other questions.

6. One link that the trailer has is with Megan Fox. Megan Fox is used as the genre of this trailer is action and Megan Fox herself has a reputation of being in action films one of the biggest franchise being Transformers. With the trailer being an action film it will help promote Megan Fox in the action genre so people will associate her with action films and the game call of duty as it is an action game.

Another link is with the group of 4 friends who go to Las Vegas to have a good time and enjoy themselves. This links to the film The Hangover where a group of male friends go to Las Vegas to have a good time. This is highlighted as we see the Las Vegas sign after the car passes then the group of males coming out of the car. This is a strong link with the game and film as they both say that Las Vegas is the place to go to have fun and enjoy yourself with your friends.

The trailer also associates Infinity wards and Activision as two businesses who help promote action films. When people see these businesses they will automatically associate IR with the call of duty franchises or those who know about the call of duty franchises but want to play games that are similar to this, will go and search the other games that thry sell. This will help promote Activision and infinity wards as call of duty being one of their successful games people will go and buy other games that they produce to live up to the standard of call of duty.

7. I talked about all three platforms for each of the films that I talked about. There were also examples given to show knowledge of what was being said.

8. In order to gain access to the top level for section b I needed to use the key words for the question and always link back to it. There wasn't enough information linking back to what the question was asking.

9. I needed to talk about how all of the platforms can be accessed on your phone which is how media devices contain everything from all platforms which is linking it back to what the question was asking.

10. Link back to the question 
       Use theory's 
       Make sure I have clear points which relate          to the question
