Hi chaps, so this is some help for you in preparing for the section 1 part of the exam.

Remember in the exam:

ú1 hour to write answer – at least 4 sides

úAnswers must focus on at least 2 media e.g. film and music video

úAnswers must refer to the past, the present and predict for the future

Below is a specimen paper from Question 1a and b and an example answer from a student who did fairly well. I have also put a slideshow that explains the basics of the exam (its from another school but its all the same information really).

Remember the different categories of things that could come up are as follows :


1a ) how have your skills developed in relation to :
Digital Technology / Creativity / Planning + Research / Post production / Using conventions of real media texts
