How to improve

Audience Question

• Talk about the connotations of the cover features and how to influence their target audience to buy the magazine
• Use more media language, e.g. representation, mode of address, objectification
• Justify my answers - not only describe what I see but say why it's been done, the meanings, the connotations etc.
• More general detail in my descriptions of both describing and justifying

Representation Question

• Refer to specific texts in my answers
• Do research beforehand into existing media texts to be prepared for the exam
• Use more media language, e.g. ideology, connotations, gratifications
• Use justification as well as description

Revision and study

• Make a list of keywords to revise and remember
• Add work to my blog constantly so I'm reminded of what I need to talk about in my exam
• Go onto newspaper/magazine websites to gather an understanding of things like representation, objectification and gratifications
• Look at more case studies to prepare better for my exam

Coursework

• Reshoot for my second pre-production
• Finish off the rest of my unfinished blog posts
