Revision: CSPs final index

It is a huge achievement to complete all the content for the new specification A Level Media Studies - well done!

We've covered 18 CSPs across nine different types of media in a little over 12 months - that's impressive! 

The task now is to revise and make links between the CSPs, media types, theories and debates we've studied over the whole course. This is what's coming up in the exams:

Media One: Targeted CSPs

Section A: Language & Representations
  • Unseen text
  • Advertising & Marketing; Music Video
Section B: Industries and Audiences
  • Radio; Newspapers; Film Industry


Media Two: In-depth CSPs
  • Unseen text
  • Television; Magazines; Online, Social & Participatory media; Videogames


Blog task: CSPs final index

We now need to create a final index of all our indexes - one for each of the nine media types. This needs to link to YOUR index for each of these media types and means you can look over all your work for each topic.

1) Advertising & Marketing
2) Music Video
3) Radio
4) Newspapers
5) Film Industry
6) Television
7) Magazines
8) Online, Social and Participatory media
9) Videogames

Note: the index above is in order of where they come up in the exams, not the order we studied them.

You may also want to look over the two introductory units from the start of Year 12:

1) MIGRAIN Introduction to Media
2) Film & TV Language

Take this opportunity to look over your work from the last 18 months and make sure there is nothing incomplete or missing - that could really disadvantage you in the exam. You have your exam lessons this week to get this index done and revise the content - make the most of this time!
