Eduqas A-level Media Studies Component 1 (A680U10-1) - 20th May 2024 [Exam Chat]

predictions for what will be on the exam?

Almost definitely Tide (hasn't been asked yet) and probably film as that last came up in 2020. For least likely I'd guess newspapers as they've come up pretty much every year except 2023 and SuperHuman (a/v advert).

Charity adverts have come up a lot before, but you're right about it being newly introduced so could happen.
I think there's a possibility of Black Panther coming up as well since that is a fairly new text, whereas I, Daniel Blake has come up a few times over the last few years. KOTV might also be one to look out for, not sure about radio since George the Poet is also a new text but Late Night Woman's hour was a question last year. Assassin's Creed was included in 3 questions last year so hopefully won't come up too much this year.
Definitely think Tide is coming up and let's pray it does.

Would Tide be section A and B? as in both representation and audience

My media teacher says that they can ask a question on media language for one of the texts we study, however the exam board says its always unseen. Should I bother with ML for the set texts or only focus on representation (Section A)?

black panther for industry ? my teacher also said about Tide most definitely coming up and for unseen newspapers? what do you guys think

Unseen newspapers was ML question Nov 2020 so hopefully not 😬
As for industry Black Panther and HYHGP haven't come up and Marketing, Revenue and Theory questions haven't come up yet so prioritise them
Tide hasn't come up for both Audience or Representation so very very likely

what about woman's hour radio podast, superhuman for advert but wateraid ( i know we dont study it anymore ) came up in nearly every year so hopefully they wont this year. Also BP is more likely than IDB isnt it

Does anyone know how the questions for the bought editions of The Times and The Mirror will work, as well as the ones for the online editions?

for section b?

Yeah - we learnt about them last year, but I can't remember what questions will come up about them. You have to refer to bought editions in questions when they ask, but I'm not sure about the online editions.
