Researching the TV industry

Before you complete these tasks, think very carefully about the implications of me setting this precise work less than a week before your mock exam.

Also, this is a lot of work. If you do it all to a high standard, it is at least three hours of work. You have your work cut out for you. But it's all useful, and it's all completely doable independently. 


Task one: researching Les Revenants and industry concerns

For this task, you will create and compile a fact file of information related to Les Revenants and how it functions as a TV show. To do this, you will use an official EDUQAS resource to help collate this information.

Yes, this is going to involve a lot of copy and pasting, answering brief questions and so on.

Do this - click here and work through the tasks, watch the videos, and if there's a dead link, just move on

Task two: researching San Junipero and industry concerns

Once more the exam board have some great resources that you may or may not be aware of. One of these are 'blended learning' resources, that are basically extra online lessons to complement and inform your in-class lessons. While you're on the page, you may wish to click around, as this stuff is perfect for your daily revision.

Click here. Then click 'open resource', then click '5.0 - media industries' from the drop down on the left. Work through the tasks. Have fun!
