WWW: Although the grade isn't where you want it to be eventually there is leads of potential here and you offer insight in Q2 + Q4. You are thinking like a Media student and that will help you massively over the next 2 years.
EBI: - The key aspect holding this back are based around theory: narrative theory in Q1 and genre theory in Q3. Revise that!
- Written English is clearly on aspect we need to keep working on but I'm sure over two years you will be fine.
- Look over the mark scheme in detail to see the kind of answers that would result in a top grade.
2) Q1: Propp’s character types: urban hero established through costume and props
Q2: Differences: Ill Manors allows us to 'get to know' the character while Nike is deliberately ambiguous; both use sky background to create meaning.
Q3: Neale “repetition and difference” – allows producers to evolve genre but maintain audience;
Abercrombie “television producers set out to exploit genre conventions... economic sense”
... “Genres permit the creation and maintenance of a loyal audience.”
Q4: Negotiated readings: an understanding and appreciation that many audiences will adopt
somewhere between the two extremes – an acceptance of urban or hip-hop culture without
perhaps identifying personally (Uses & Gratifications theory).

In all my questions I didn't really mention the theories, more gave examples of
them, or just analyze the product.
4) -
5) I did better in question 2 because I understood
the content more clearly, also I used more theory and explained it more
clearly.
6) Question no. 1 and 3.
I didn't really included theories that were in the question and put more
