• Genre
• Narrative
• Representation
• Audience
• Media language
In the examination, questions will be set using one of these concepts only.
Past Questions
Specimen: “Media texts rely on cultural experiences in order for audiences to easily make sense of narratives.” Explain how you used conventions and/or experimental narrative approaches in one of your production pieces. [25]
January 2010: Analyse media representation in one of your coursework productions. [25]
June 2010: Analyse one of your coursework productions in relation to genre.
A2 exam question 1b
And a minimalist summary of what to cover...
para 1 Intro: which of your projects are you going to write about? briefly describe it
para 2: what are some of the key features of the concept you are being asked to apply? maybe outline two of the theories/ideas of particular writers briefly
para 3; start to apply the concept, making close reference to your production to show how the concept is evident in it
para 4: try to show ways in which ideas work in relation to your production and also ways in which those ideas might not apply/could be challenged
para 5; conclusion
Again remember you only have 30 minutes and that you really need to analyse the finished production, rather than tell the marker how you made it
