Most students attempted all questions, writing in depth and filling the spaces provided for them. Generally, students had prepared effectively and were able to craft responses appropriate to each question.  \nA few students appeared to have memorised prepared answers for last year’s examination, which meant that they lacked the agility required to respond appropriately. Students are reminded that examination questions are drawn from the key knowledge and skills associated with all outcomesin Units 3 and 4. While preparation should include previous examination papers and sample questions provided by their teacher or commercially available material, the focus should be on developing knowledge and skills to respond with precision to any question arising from the key knowledge and skills.  \nStudents who scored highly demonstrated knowledge of both the content they had studied and explicit use of the language of media. They could elaborate on their understanding using terms appropriate to the key knowledge and skills and cross-study specifications.  \nSome students did not make effective use of reading time to break down the requirements of each question. Many did not differentiate between the instructional verbs (e.g. identify, describe, analyse, explain, outline, discuss and evaluate) . These terms are drawn from the key knowledge and skills and point to how students should be able to manipulate their knowledge.  \nStudents are reminded that extended response questions do not require answers in essay form. Students may respond in any appropriate form.  \nFor narrative and ideology questions, students wrote predominantly in the area of film but photography, sound (including podcasts) and print narratives were also represented. Online availability has clearly had a positive effect on the range of narratives available for study. Students engaged with contemporary media narratives in terms of the ideologies that frame them and their characteristics and construction, as well as audience reading and engagement. It was clear that students found these narratives relevant and appealing. Most responses on narrative and ideology questions were written on narratives released in the past five years. While students did write well on older narratives, answers revealed a tendency to rote responses and a weaker grasp of the ideological underpinnings of their creation and especially of audience engagement and readings. When selecting narratives for study, it should be noted that all narratives are framed by ideologies in society and that it is not a requirement to study those that are overtly ideologically based. Students should be able to identify and evaluate the impact of one or more ideologies that inform any narrative selected for study.  \nStudents responded with greater assurance to questions about their media production process. Preparation for questions on this area of study was evident although some students did not make an explicit link between the key knowledge and skills and their practice during production development, pre-production, production and post-production. It is important to develop these links in preparation for the examination.  \nQuestions on agency, and control in and of the media, revealed engagement with current issues and examples. It was clear that students enjoyed the currency that this area of study allows and wrote authoritatively on wide-ranging topics, including the economic effects of Alan Jones’s comments on Jacinta Ardern, the ethics of gaming loot boxes, Facebook live streaming, audience agency in relation to the creation of the new Sonic the Hedgehog character, press coverage of Cardinal George Pell’s trial, reality television, deep fake videos, contemporary issues in protecting vulnerable audiences, TikTok, changed audience viewing patterns as a result of streaming services, the impact of We Chat on","cbCaipk6vMiq8nw2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipk6vMiq8nw2","pdf",275093,"English","# General comments\n# Specific information\n## Section A: Narrative and ideology\n### Question 1a\n### Question 1b","[{\"question\":\"What does the report say about how well students prepared for the 2019 VCE Media examination?\",\"answer\":\"Students generally attempted all questions, wrote in depth, and prepared effectively.
