okay so,,, the paper was mixed. the extract we got from doctor who was not the best.. and the 20 mark essays on newspapers were confusing asf... but i managed to waffle my way through it and use 2 pages of extra pages somehow?? overall i did my best anyways and media gcse is done !! the 1-2 markers were confusing asfff

i liked it a lot but the indirect address questions i think i worded wrong, what did people put for the definition and example?

for definition I did something like 'when meanings are communicated to the audience, but without referencing the audience themselves' 😭 and for the example I did Barbara and ian's conversation in the car discussing the events, and most of my friends put the same

i thought the first 20 marker was worded weirdly but i think my answer for that was the best out of all the 20 markers, the second one was good and the third one was difficult but it’s meant to be the ‘synoptic’ one so i kind of expected it to be like that

that makes a lot more sense than mine tbh i was going on about enigma codes being ‘answered’ and used the flashbacks as my example 😔🙏 but indirect address is not on aqa’s terminology list. i don’t understand why they would do this on BOTH papers after getting so many complaints last year for using words not on the spec
