Paper 1 feedback

1. Timing
OCR say:
10 marks = 15 minutes
15 marks = 25 minutes (x2)
30 marks = 45 minutes
So, this paper is 100 minutes writing time, but you have 120 minutes!
If you want to be accurate, you can spend 1.7 minutes on each mark, so actually:
10 marks = 17 minutes
15 marks = 25 minutes (x2)
30 marks = 50 minutes
This totals 117 minutes.

4. In the show we listened to… the bit about Ed Sheerhan, dinner ladies, references to
popular culture, UK artists, references to Stormzy, trailing the guest for tomorrow’s show
(Eddie Redmayne), the music is mainly British (or more than 50%)

5. The BBC does not make money through tax.
The BBC is not run by the government.
Refer specifically to the show. Give clear examples.
Understand what a PSB is.
Go to study guide to revise.

8. What this question was asking:
• How contexts can be represented in different ways
and how this varies depending on where it was
produced (and consumed… )
• How audiences might respond in different ways
• To examine the ‘realism’ of each show
