This lesson we look at a past AQA paper from 2010
The sequence is the pre-credits and credits of an ITV documentary - Peter Andre - Going It Alone first broadcast on ITV2 at 9:00 on August 17th 2009.
We are going to focus on question 1 - the most basic task which is to analyse how media forms [media language/mise-en-scene] are used in the product.
The specific question is:
How does the sequence catch and hold the attention of the viewer?
The required response involves exploring how music, lighting, voice-over, dialogue, editing and content are deployed to gain an audience and to keep it.
As in the examination we will see the clip 3 times and you will be expecetd to make notes in between each viewing.
The expectation is 300-400 words [about 2 sides A4] in 15 minutes. We are thus looking at working somewhere around 20 words per minute.
the idea of this lesson is for you to [1] practise the skills you need [2] get used to working under pressure [3] understanding the format of the assessment.
At the end of the time we will go over the possible content and approaches for success.
