GCSE Media Exam - Marketing and Promotion of Video Games
All Yr 11 Media pupils should be using their password and logging into the MediaEdu site - http://media.edusites.co.uk/.
This site now has some amazing materials: marketing and promotion case studies, interactive quizzes and mock exams in the style that will actually be set by AQA in the Summer.
I strongly urge, nudge and push you towards reading through all this content and use it as a revision aid over the coming months.
No excuses! Focus upon the feeling of opening that brown envelope after the Summer and seeing a great grade which reflects your hardwork.
Get revising and look out for resources that will also be appearing upon Moodle (SJW's learning platform) very soon.

Media - Assignment 3 - Promotion of Music!
You should now have a firm idea of a genre and a chosen song for Assignment 3.
Remember the key to producing a successful Music Video is the planning stage. Everyone in your group needs to know their role and must keep an ongoing individual record of the planning stage. This will help to achieve a high mark and will inform anyone who examines the final product, how decisions and research influenced your work. This is really important! Do not rely on other group members - you must keep your own records of your input!
Don't forget to make use of the Edusite Website (Use your log-in) and other sites such as Slideshare to help inform your choices. Watch videos from your chosen genre and try to replicate: the stereotypical camera shots/angles; mise-en-scene (actors facial expressions/setting/props etc); expected storylines that follow the lyrics and other similarities you notice.
Try your best to add your own touch of originality and flair also. These videos will gain the highest marks.
Good luck. Clapper board down. Let's make some music videos!
