A2 Please take note!
Remember to use lots of different media forms when answering these questions - not just text!
In the evaluation the following four questions must be addressed:

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

2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

4. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

There is one on tonight on ITV at 7:30 and one on Radio 4 at 7pm Saturday.

Work to have completed for September.

A2 Media news stories to check out

As mentioned in the lesson, keep an eye out for media stories relating to Media in the online age. Newsbin and Google Plus - Google attempt to grab a slice of the social networking market and challenge fb.

Mrs H

A2 and next year's A2

Read about the release of Kaiser Chiefs new album with ref to Media in the online age and how they were burned with the release of their last album. Good up-to-date story to illustrate a point about the problems of piracy etc.

Mrs H

A2 Twitter

Make sure you read some of the stories about twitter, injunctions and privacy. Gabby Logan etc.

Creative Commons

Arron found a brilliant youtube clip to explain the concept of 'Creative Commons'. Good work, Arron! (Useful too, as background knowledge for A2 ' Media in the Online Age')
