Exam Intro

In the G325 exam I will be answering three questions in total.  Question 1a will ask us on how the skills we have acquired since the start of the AS course till the end of the A2 year and refer to both coursework pieces. The question will be on one or two of the following things:

v  Digital Technology ( iMacs, Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, etc)

v  Creativity ( this is generally to see how easy you came up with your idea)

v  Research and Planning ( what opening sequences I analysed etc)

v  Post Production ( Editing, Photoshop , Final Cut Pro, Etc)

v  Using conventions of real media texts ( what conventions did I use etc)

Question 1b will be the theoretical evaluation of one of my coursework productions. I will be asked to analyse either my AS opening sequence or my A2 teaser trailer. This is also done through one of the following concepts:

v  Genre

v  Narrative

v  Representation

v  Audience

v  Media Language.

In Question 2 it is based on the topic of Media in the Online Age. This includes the following:

v  How has online media developed

v  What has been the impact of the internet on media production

v  How is consumer behaviour and audience response transformed by online media, in relation to the past

v  To what extent has convergence transformed the media

I am studying film and music and will use them both in the exam.
