Remember with this answer the mark scheme is very similar – 5 marks for terminology, 10 marks for examples and 10 for analysis and explanation therefore SPECIFIC examples from your own pieces will be just as important as with your theorists. You must also remember that consideration of the key media concepts as actual concepts with different views is vital as this is still a synoptic unit (bringing everything together).
Paragraph 1
Intro: Which of your projects are you going to write about? Briefly describe it and give some concept specific information about it. (e.g. if they ask you about narrative you could say “that incorporated a linear narrative of a love story”)
Paragraph 2
What are some of the key features and thoughts of the concept you are being asked to apply? Maybe outline two of the theories/ideas of particular writers briefly
Paragraph 3
Start to apply the concept, making close reference to your production to show how the concept is evident in it. (e.g. if asked about genre, you could argue about how genre fitted to your own production)
Paragraph 4
Try to show ways in which ideas work in relation to your production and also ways in which those ideas might not apply/could be challenged.
Paragraph 5 - conclusion
What can you draw from this – what has it revealed about the concept?
Again remember you only have 30 minutes and that you really need to ANALYSE the finished production (make comments about the effects and consider all the elements of the key concept), rather than tell the marker how you made it
