Q BLOCK - SECOND YEAR - TELEVISION INDUSTRY TASKS
0 - five minutes - Create a new post called television industry tasks. You can and should do these tasks individually.
1 - fifty-five minutes - Using the revision guide
The revision guide, among other things, contains information on every possible question that could come up in the exam. You can find a link to the revision guide by going to the 'key resources' section at the top of the blog, or just by clicking here.
So far, for Humans, we have looked at representation and media language. So, go to pages 22-24 of the revision guide. Pick three of the questions. (Yes they all look pretty chatty and straightforward. The real final exam will obviously change the wording, but the question will essentially be the same.) Writing directly in your blog, spend at least sixteen minutes responding to each of the three questions you have picked.
Remember to use a key scene for each response
2 - thirty minutes (at least) - Imagine: And Then There Was Television
Watch at least the first three segments of this documentary, and make notes on what you've seen. This will form a discussion we will have on Wednesday.
