Media Studies: Preparing for the Exam

This book will give you invaluable help in ensuring that your students are well-prepared to sit their final exams in GCSE Media Studies.

The book takes a practical approach to the full integration of acquired knowledge and skills in preparation for the final exam, addressing areas that are common to all examination systems. It looks in particular at the three principal types of exam questions: Media Evaluation, Media Production and Unseen Analysis. For each of these the book provides a brief revision of the terminology and concepts, a plan for tackling the specific type of question, at least one exemplar of a very good response to an exam question and worksheets and/or suggested activities.

The emphasis is placed on the most common forms and genres of Print media (newspapers, magazines and advertising) and Moving Image media (television and films). Frequent references are made to popular texts to clarify meanings and engage pupil interest.
