Thursday 21st March - Homework

I will be running the BBC News School report day with a few of you helpful people on Thursday so there won't be a lesson that day.

To make up for the missed lesson, I would like you to complete your answer on the exam question we began on Tuesday. You have 25-30 minutes left on this so I am expecting at least an A4 page and a half. If you wish to type up your answer then that is also fine.

The question is:

Account for the similarities and differences in the codes and conventions used in the media products from your cross-media study.

You could write about:

  • What the typical codes and conventions of a documentary are
  • How these codes and conventions have changed and why - is it to meet audience needs? is it who produces it?
  • What affects the making of a text - think Stuart Hall and the Reception Theory
Make use of:

  • Key concepts - MIGRAIN
  • A range of examples - class work and your own individual study
  • All three platforms - print, moving image and e-media

This answer is due on Friday 22nd - bring it to class please.
