PPE Preparation: Paper 1

Here you'll find everything you need to prepare for PPE Paper 1 coming up on Tuesday 30 March. 

As the government have suggested, we are going to test you on topics you have learned in class or most recently as this is the fairest way of giving everyone the best chance to show what they can do. 

The following blogpost will help you to revise the right topics. We recommend making revision cards or knowledge organisers and practicing questions in the revision pack are giving out.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to exam rooming issues with the video clip for Media Paper 2, we will be taking on PPE Paper 2 (Television) FIRST and then doing PPE Paper 1 the following week.


PPE Paper 1 topics

This is what is coming up in PPE Paper 1:

Section A: Language and Representation

Unseen Media analysis
This will be a magazine cover, advert or similar print text that you haven't seen before. You'll need to write a media analysis of the text using all the media terminology and analysis skills you've built up over two years. Think connotations, CLAMPS, preferred and opposition readings etc.


Magazines
You'll have questions on one of the magazine products:




Section B: Industry and Audience

Film Industry


Newspapers




Paper 1: preparation and revision tasks

Work through the following tasks to help prepare for PPE Paper 1:

1) Work through the Paper 1 revision pack which has example questions, mark schemes and exemplar answers. Focus only on the unseen product questions plus the topics listed above (Magazines, Film Industry, Newspapers).

2) Look back over the blogposts for the topics listed above - plus your own blogposts with all the answers. Create revision cards or knowledge organisers for each CSP and key media terminology (e.g. Mise-en-scene - CLAMPS etc.)

Good luck!
