Any predictions for section A? I wouldn't be surprised if they put Radio 1 Breakfast show in there for the 73654726472th year after that horrible Paper 1

i think animal crossing , as it has been film the last 2 years and then radio , as radio has come up on every paper since 2019 so they are unlikely to change it now . video games and film have never come up together so its unlikely but knowing them it will probs be that

Yeah, they avoided putting the new advertisement texts in paper 1 so I feel like they might embrace their new spec and put both video games and film in paper 2. However, OCR do have a reputation for being incredibly lazy when writing papers so Radio 1 might come up its hard to predict it. I just hope its not radio cuz I despise it as a topic

“No matter where they are produced, long form television dramas have to be realistic in order to succeed.” How far do you agree with this statement.

It was better than the first paper! I managed to get something into all the answers but my structure wasnt the best. I also feel like I generalised my responses a little, especially for animal crossing. I also didn’t use the amount of terminology I wanted to use… But yeah definitely better than the first paper and I really hope I get an A. I need at least 55 marks for an A after that horrendous paper one. 😭
