REVIEW YOUR STATEMENT OF INTENT

Return to your Statement of Intent and check that it accurately reflects your intentions. To some extent your final mark is contingent upon:

i) The quality of your intentions.

ii) The extent to which you have fulfilled those intentions. 

Look at the following advice and make any relevant changes to your Statement of Intent.

1st: Formatting. 

Your SOI should start with the following question: 

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) 

You should then have the label Production - Music Video or Production - Magazine

This should be followed by approximately 200 - 250 words about your intentions regarding your production.

Next you should have the label Website

This should be followed by approximately 200 words about your intentions regarding your website.

Next, you should have the following question:

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)

This should be followed by approximately 100 words about your intentions regarding digital convergence between your productions and your website.

2nd: Contents - Question 1.

To help you write this section, consider the following questions:

1: What conventions of existing media have you selected to include in your production?

NB: These should cover Media Language, Representation and Audience Theory and should be directly related to your research. 

2: What conventions of existing media have you chosen to break/subvert in your production?

NB: These should also cover Media Language and Representation, but your choice to break or subvert the conventions should be directly related to audience. 

Take a look at page 15 or 16 of the briefs to see some of the things that the exam board suggests you should be considering. 

3rd: Contents - Section 2

To help you write this section, consider the following questions:

1: What is the industrial relationship between your production and your website?

2: What will you include in your production to direct your audience to your website?

3: What will you include in your website to direct your audience to your production?

4: What will you include across both to establish clear brand identity?

Take a look at page 17 of the briefs to see some of the things that the exam board suggest you should be considering.

4th: Third Party Check

Have another member of the class read through your SOI. They should be looking for clarity, for formatting and to check if your intentions align with your research. Once they have checked it and given you the thumbs up, go to the top of your post and write COMPLETE.
