I will be posting homework assignments here every week, but will also be keeping you up to date on everything we are covering in lessons.
This term, we will start work on the first piece of controlled assessment, during which time all the key terms and concepts relevant to the course will be introduced.
For more details on the course as a whole, please see the information below:
GCSE Media Studies overview
The exam board we use for
this course is OCR. You can visit the Media Studies section of their website
using the following link:
The course is divided into
three sections:
1. B321 (which,
for the sake of clarity, we’ll call controlled assessment part 1). This will involve watching two films and writing an
essay comparing the representation of gender in each one, then creating two
film posters for a film made up by the pupils themselves. Finally, they will
write an evaluation of the whole process.
2. B324 (which,
for the sake of clarity, we’ll call controlled assessment part 2). This will involve producing either the first three
minutes of a film, a music video or several pages from a magazine (the pupils
will choose for themselves which of these to do). They will have to show
evidence of planning and research and will have to evaluate the whole process.
3. B323 (which, for the sake of clarity, we’ll call the
exam paper). This will be sat at the
end of the course and will consist of two sections: A and B. Section A will
involve watching a three or four minute clip from an action adventure film
chosen by the exam board four times and commenting on various aspects of it.
Section B will involve writing about two television comedy programmes, which
the pupils can choose ahead of time.
The majority of the
controlled assessment work will take place in school, although the pupils are
permitted to complete certain aspects of it, such as filming and photography,
outside school.
That's it for now; just make sure you check back every week for homework.
See you soon!
