Your Online, Social and Participatory media assessment will be on the first day back - Monday 7 January.
Your main priority is to get the OSP Index completed and make sure you have a separate index of five stories from Teen Vogue and five stories from The Voice website. In the assessment (and the exam) you'll need to make specific reference to stories, sections and elements of design from the two CSP websites.
In terms of the questions you will face, this is an in-depth topic so you'll have a 25-mark essay question in Media Paper Two. In your assessment, you will have two 25-mark questions to test different aspects of your knowledge on these CSPs. Remember, the questions can focus on any of the four main concepts: language, audience, industry or representation.
Online, Social and Participatory: practice questions
Here are a few practice questions to help your revision and planning:
1) Stuart Hall's reception theory suggests media products can be interpreted by audiences in a variety of ways.
To what extent does an analysis of your online, social and participatory Close Study Products (The Voice and Teen Vogue) support this view?
[25 marks]
2) David Gauntlett suggests that identity in the media is in "a process of constant change". How far is this true of your online, social and participatory Close Study Products (The Voice and Teen Vogue)?
[25 marks]
3) New and digital technology has had a huge impact on traditional media industries.
What challenges have media brands faced as a result of changes in technology? Refer to your online, social and participatory Close Study Products (The Voice and Teen Vogue).
[25 marks]
Revision and resources
There is a lot you can revise for this assessment - such as all of your theory from Year 12 and the work we did for newspapers and magazines that is applicable (e.g. Gauntlett, Hall etc.)
We recommend you buy the two A Level Media textbooks for this new specification - details on this blogpost here. The two books cover all the theories and media types and many of our CSPs also feature - the Year 1 book has several pages on Teen Vogue, for example.
You've also got our Media Magazine archive with new issues appearing four times a year and again many of our CSPs are covered.
Good luck!
