On what may come up! I'm hoping digital technology for 1a doesn't come up... that could be difficult. As for 1b, I'm hoping either representation or narrative... though I'm guessing it'll be media language as that hasn't come up yet.

1a - Production? Isn't it conventions from real media texts? Definitely wasn't post-production.

what the hell is production practise?
my teacher predicted for a) creativity or post production, and for b) media language
im studying it now and im slowly grasping the concept
should have started when study leave began on 11 may

this is what i have:
- the way the meaning is made using conventions of particular mediaum, and types of media product. considering how media texts communicate (to audience).
- relation to written language to convey meaning (if written text uses a short sentence - could convey danger)

i dont even know what im on about
what did you do for the coursework? i did newspaper for A2, and music magazine for AS

i have no idea what that means ^ . for as i did music magazine and for a2 i did music video. i have a feeling for part 1b media language will come up because its never come up before (not even in jan 2012) .. ahh why is it always our year group?! .. 1a i suppose we can bs our way through nicely because we dont have to no any theorist for that.

im doing contemporary media regulation
creativity is you researching existing products but adding some creativity so its within the same genre but it stands out from existing products
post production is the penultimate stage - the editing stage

i think id do better in section B than A
so im going to do A first
and yeah just split the time equally
30 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour
should be fine if you write fast
and remember, quality not quantity - always relate to the question, dont waffle
