AQA A-level Media Studies Paper 1 (7572/1) - 20th May 2024 [Exam Chat]

lmao am i the only that takes this trainwreck of an exam board

ok i dont do media but i just wanna say why did you choose such a username lool

That was the worst paper I have ever seen. Both 20 markers were awful. And no bbtl

Ngl i found this paper easy asf the 20marker on radio was really easy to piece together!

Why what did you talk about

you could have spoke about in newsbeat how audiences are targeted by shirkys theory of how audiences are active like web 2.o, bbc sounds, interactivity and schedulled bulletins, and then that attracts an audience but to an extent not really because bbc are still suffering budget cuts. For wotw you could have talked about how audiences dont need to be specifically targeted for a media product to be successful because wotw was targeted to a mainstream audience and even tho it had sense of moral panic and cultivation theory it was still famous because of the publicity it attracted due to historical context, or they could have done it on purpose because cbc needed the ratings/money to keep their network afloat

im sure you diddnt fail, the audience positioning question i really diddnt understand, ended up writing about hall, encoding and decoding/hegemony/gender to attract a male audience to sexualise women, then for bond i started writing about britain and patriotism and im sure i was wrong lol

That unseen was terrible how does genre advertise something 😭

What did everyone write about for that. I just waffled about the Leveson inquiry as political context
