The Exam Explained

Below are two images of the exam paper that you will be completing. We have been through this exam paper and the layout for each question lots of times and you should be able to answer each question with some comfort. Remember that the exam is laid out as follows:



Question 1: Analyse an unseen extract for two micro features making sure that you analyse the extract fully using technical terms and theory where possible. Spend 12 minutes on this question. 



Question 2: In question 2 you will be tested on your general understanding of superhero film codes and conventions. You will need to analyse themes/issues, setting/location, narrative/storyline, representations of characters, special effects that are presented in the comic book films we watched in class. Revise the key scenes to help your understanding of this section. You should spend 12 minutes on this question. 

​

Question 3: Probably the most difficult question. You will need to analyse promotional material for superhero films e.g. dvd covers/posters/website homepages, etc. In the exam you will be given a source with the promotional material on it to analyse. Make sure that you use this source material to help you. You should only spend 12 minutes on this question. 
 

Question 4: This is your creative question where you must think of your own superhero film or you may have to create something for an existing superhero film. Here you must explain and sketch/colour a design for a new piece of promotional material for your idea. This could be a film poster, promotional campaign or a website. You should spend longer on this section. Around 27 minutes will be the perfect amount of time
