01 Coursework Brief
02 Statement of Intent
03 Research - Production
04 Research - Website
05 Planning - Production
06 Planning - Website
07 Completed - Production
08 Completed - Website
Practice Tasks
BELOW IS A BREIF EXPLANATION OF WHAT YOU SHOULD INCLUDE IN EACH SECTION
01 Coursework Brief
Copy and paste the brief from the exam board into this section. You do NEED to do anything else, but it could be useful to highlight key elements and/or add in notes on anything that will serve to remind you of important elements.
02 Statement of Intent
Based on your research into existing media, you will write about your intentions for your production and website. You will need to address the following questions.
How do you intend to use the four areas of the media theoretical framework to communicate meaning and meet the requirements of your chosen brief? ( approx. 400 words)
How do you intend to link your media products to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the digitally convergent nature of your media production? (approx. 100 words)
03 Research - Production
This should contain a post called INSPIRATION, which contains links or images of anything you found inspirational during your research into existing magazines, music videos or TV programmes.
It should contain a second post called CODES AND CONVENTIONS, which starts with a bullet pointed list of the codes and conventions you have discovered, followed by an illustration of those conventions (Possibly in the form of a PowerPoint presentation).
NB: This should also include anything you have noticed that encourages convergence.
It COULD contain a third post called AUDIENCE RESEARCH, which you will need to include if you intend to challenge the codes and conventions of existing media. You will need to show that your choice to challenge existing media is based on consulting with your target audience.
