Media studies 15th June

Each year they pick a new topic, last year i think it was crime drama, this year it is advertising so there is no past papers unfortunatley. However, you can sort of make one up for section B as it asks us to make a new advert, you could try a new drink, snack, sports wear, beauty product etc, hope this helps

Aw thankyou, that's great!! Have you not got any vague idea as to what section a is about?😄

do you think section b will be a storyboard? if it wasnt that, what do you think it would be?

My teacher is confident it will be a story board, however it could be a treatment - so basically you just write about your brand and the advert you have come up with, always refer to how it will appeal to target audience and the tecnique it will use. For example, todorivian narrative, binary oppisites, shot types etc

What is a treatment? If that was in section B, how would you set it out?

You just write about. So rather than drawing each frama of a story board you write about each frame in detail and how it will appeal to audience. You will be fine, you mainly get a mark for every key word you use so i should be quite simply.

Anyone doing AQA TV news exam?

Whats the common questions asked for the making of the advertisement? will they ask for a product that will appeal to a youth audience of a product in particular, like a drink?

Have you got any idea what advert they are going to ask? My teacher said they made ask you to create a product for a 'youth' audience? is this true or will it be a certain product?

Yh it should defo be aimed at a youth audience, it could b drink, snack, beauty product, perfume, body spray etc, have a few idea of names in your head before the exam and ur be one step ahead

That's great thankyou!! have you got any extra advice? im so scared haha!

Will the questions I section A specifically be based on the adverts they give us or will there be other generic questions too? Because in the revision guide I have been given the example question say things like explore how audiences might respond to print adverts you have studied, but we haven't studied any adverts?? It also asks things like using examples explore the importance of tv advertising scheduling, could these types of questions come up or are they specifically based on the print advert and our tv advert?
