PART A, questions 1 and 2, an overview


Revision Guide A2 Media OCR from reigatemedia

Use this slide share information, so you can make posters on each topic in question 1a and 1b and relate it back to your foundation and advanced portfolio (PART 1A) and ONLY your advanced portfolio in PART 1B.

The topics for PART  1A:

-Digital Technology
-Creativity
-Research and Planning
-Post-Production
-Generic Media Conventions

You will need to evaluate your skills development over the course of AS (your opening sequence to a horror film) and A2 (a teaser trailer on any chosen genre). There is no need to include theorists or theories in this essay, you will be using them for part B.

The topics for PART 1B:

-Genre
-Narrative
-Representation
-Audience
-Media Language

It will be easier to evaluate your A2 advanced portfolio piece in this question, because you have been working on it throughout the year and will be able to revise the topics when going through your blog. It is best to create a blog post on each of these at the start of the year and relate it back to your production, also linking in key theorists and theories. In the exam, when answering this question remember to add in theorists and theories. Such as Levi-Strauss for narrative, Blumer and Katz for audience, Fiske for media language, Chandler for genre and Dyer for representation.
