13D1 Work P3 Tuesday 6th October

Please begin this work. I will be late but will be by 12 o’clock at the latest to check your progress and discuss this with you.
LO:
· To become more familiar with the format and requirements of Section B of the Unit 3 exam.
· To develop your understanding of how to undertake a case study on a range of potential topics.
· Consider how to apply your knowledge of media studies to an examination.

Using the text book find answers to the following questions and note the details using full sentences in your exercise books. You will need to use your research skills to find this information as it may not all be in one place in the book:
1. How much is Section B of the Unit 3 exam worth? (in marks and as a percentage)
2. How many case studies will you need to do and what will they be on?
3. How many questions will you apply this case study to and from how many questions will you have a choice?
4. How many platforms must your case study cover and why?
5. How much time in the exam will you have to respond to the case study question?
6. What important information do you need to note for each of the texts you choose to investigate for your case study?
7. What sorts of groups would be useful to study for the representation case study and why?
8. What four areas should you cover in your case study?
9. What are the texts and contextual issues you will also need to cover?
10. What is a critical framework and how will you use it? Give examples of areas this will cover.

Now brainstorm some ideas for your own individual case study covering representation of a group of people or place in the media using A3 paper.
