Case Study Research

You need to make sure you have a solid understanding of synergy and convergence as well as linear and vertical integration.

The best way to do this is create a family tree for your case studies

E.G

As you do this you should be able to make both vertical and horizontal connections (horizontal would represent companies responsible for the same process e.g. prodution, while vertical demonstrates the different levels e.g. distibution.

Easter holiday task

OOver the Easter holidays find two pieces of evidence for one of the exam questions you are studying. One should support the idea and the other argue against it.

OE.G Media and democracy in action;

OOur Screen – a democratic approach to cinema where you can pick a film and, if enough people want to see the film it will be screened.

OOn the other hand they get to set the ticket price and, if you don’t get enough people interested, they won’t run the film.

In the evaluation the following questions must be answered:

1.      In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

2.      How does your media product represent particular social groups?

 

3.      What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

 

4.      Who would be the audience for your media product?

 

5.      How did you attract/address your audience?

 

6.      What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

 

7.      Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

 

Remember, although you are presenting your research and planning via your blogs, you can use other media to provide your evaluation. Other acceptable formats include Prezi, DVD extras, podcast, and website.

G321 Final Research and Planning and Task Guidance.

First a little gentle reminder of the timescale remaining;

All research and planning work MUST be with me by the 27th March. Ideally you will also be in a position to submit a finished film.

Films, if not submitted before Easter, MUST be ready for the first lesson, the first week back (Monday 13th April period 2). These can be either uploaded to YouTube and a link provided on your blog or you can put the film onto a pen drive or disc and hand it to me. Please clearly mark disc/pendrive with your name.

Evaluations will be completed by the 24th April. There are six questions you need to answer and I will be going through these next Monday so that you are clear about what you need to do.

Therefore you have six weeks, including the holidays, to get all this work finished and handed to me. Work is being sent to the exam board on the 27th which means I have no room to move the final submission date by.

Although not all of this work is to be submitted electronically it is advisable that you do. You will need to submit work electronically next year.

I have taken screenshots of relevant pages from the exam board spec which should answer any of your questions;

 

Hopefully this answers any questions you have about the task and the expectations of the exam board.
