G325 a media theory and theorists_sectiona- from gdsteacher

Remember only apply the theory that fits - use theory you have already learnt first and then explore new theory in relation to your products. Don't try to shoe-horn new theory in for the sake of it.

Also the PowerPoint we looked at last week;

Plus - bonus PowerPoint on Narrative theory;

 

G325 narrative theory from Wayne O'Brien

We Media and Democracy and Global Media

Powerpoints used in today's lesson. Remember they important slides are those that refer to the theorists e.g. Chomsky, Gillmor or Gauntlett.

You also need to find more out about Generation Y and Generation C - mostly in reference to We Media but also how the Global Media changes have affected them.

Don't forget there are aspects of both theories that can link to Postmodernism and Media Regulation.

G325 Prep - Overview and Section A Focus

As we get ever closer to the exam we need to start looking at how to improve on the mocks marks. I have included, below, two presentations on the exam - one offering general information on both the exam and advanced portfolio (you can ignore the advanced portfolio stuff) and the other looks at key concepts in relation to your own production work.

I'd recommend, as your planning and research for G324 comes to an end you focus on evaluating your work and exploring your topic choice for Critical Media Perspectives. For some of the topics you do not need a case study as such but would definitely benefit from using example questions to help you prepare fully for the exam.
