Only one product? I was confused at this because my school told me I need three products because it's 'cross-media' but I thought that meant covering one topic and how it's covered across e-media, broadcast and print forms

We've been told that the question is about one product and how it is promoted across three media platforms. You can of course use similar products to further add to your point- however, the main core of the essay revolves around your chosen product.

I'm confused because my textbook says three texts whereas one powerpoint on my school drive says two texts, a blog on the internet from a media teacher says two texts, other powerpoints say three and you're saying one

Hi I did Question 5 and for my case study I did Black Panther, Wonder Woman and the Lego Batman Movie.

I got a C last year but I need an A. I'm worried I didn't do well enough section A wasn't great.

I'm stressed for A2 swell

I also did Question 5

I need a B and definitely got it seeing it's only 45/80 for me, but want an A which is 63/80 for me - not sure if I got that high or not though

A2 I'm not looking forward to Section A but Section B should be alright
