1. OCR A2 media Exam – Section A G235
Structure for A2 exam q.1a
paragraph 1 should be an introduction which explains which projects you did. It
can be quite short.
paragraph 2 should pick up the skill area and perhaps suggest something about
your starting point with it- what skills did you have already and how were these
illustrated. use an example.
paragraph 3 should talk through your use of that skill in early projects and what
you learned and developed through these. Again there should be examples to
support all that you say.
paragraph 4 should go on to demonstrate how the skill developed in later projects,
again backed by examples, and reflecting back on how this represents moves
forward for you from your early position.
paragraph 5 short conclusion
Remember it's only half an hour and you need to range across all your work!
A2 exam question 1b
para 1 Intro: which of your projects are you going to write about? briefly describe
it
para 2: what are some of the key features of the concept you are being asked to
apply? maybe outline two of the theories/ideas of particular writers briefly
para 3; start to apply the concept, making close reference to your production to
show how the concept is evident in it
para 4: try to show ways in which ideas work in relation to your production and
also ways in which those ideas might not apply/could be challenged
para 5; conclusion
Again remember you only have 30 minutes and that you really need to analyse the
finished production, rather than tell the marker how you made it
