Media Studies Unit 1 GCSE AQA Prelim Material

I got 82/90 in the coursework, how many marks do you think I'll need in the exam to get an A*?

Plus, my enigma code for The Detectives is 'stop the kidnapping', do you think this would hook in the target audience through the hypodermic needle theory?

Thanks!

P.S. Is there any stigma with writing solely in note form? I feel that that's the only way to fit everything in because of the time constraints..

Can somebody tell me what to include in the storyboard for the TV ad- do you have to colour it in?! Also how do you make a marketing campaign?
Much appreciated.

The storyboard- okay so you can colour it if you want (and have time) but otherwise just write 'red' or whatever colour! And basically there will be like 8 boxes and you gotta do it like a trailer on the tv- so draw pics that clearly show the genre of the game and show the Pegi age on there and perhaps links to Facebook and review and writing that will make the audience want to play the game!
Marketing campaign is just explaining how you will use techniques to promote your game and get people to buy it- pandorax posted notes on it, many thanks pandorax

Many thanks! I am indebted to you, I hope you find that the exam is an unchallenging impediment to pass.

Anyone else doing The Detectives, what are some of your ideas for it and what are you going to write about in the exam. I've hardly been taught anything, please help.

So has everyone already designed a poster and a storyboard for a tralier? Also after drawing the story board, do we explain whats happening in each scene underneath, or do we just label things on the storyboard?

Anyone know how to create a website?(seriously confused)

I am doing the detectives and i have designed each character to appeal to at least one member of the family, not necessarily making them stereotypical but definitely a character to aspire to making them a role model. i'm also trying to avoid the stereotypical 'seeing women as objects' pathway as the game is targeted at a family audience. i have also come up with an object to be sold as merchandise which each character uses in the game (a laser watch for example which would be easily replicated but with just an led) Doing this will target the younger audience. Im rating it a soft 12 because a there isn't enough leeway in a 7 but check out the pegi rating website if you want more info. One of your usp (unique selling point) could be that the children get to see themselves on the t.v which as a child is a stereotypical dream.
for your storyboard i suggest something like the family getting the game in the post and all enjoying the game encouraging everyone to participate and for the typography on the packaging i am using a san serif font (just plain) similar to those on sherlock and elementary because they are well known shows and the subconscious link will be made. i hope this helps
