Audience and industry essay - feedback and learner response

Your audience power and industry essays have shown fantastic progress in Media - well done! 

It's brilliant to see you writing in such depth having clearly picked up many of the key points regarding audience power, media industries and the impact of the internet. 

The first part of your learner response is to read the email from your teacher giving you feedback on your essay. If anything doesn't make sense, ask your teacher - that's why we're here! 

Your audience essay learner response is as follows:

Create a new blog post called 'Audience essay feedback and learner response' and complete the following tasks:

1) Copy and paste your feedback from the email in full - WWW, EBI and LR.

2) What was the word count for your essay?

3) What was your strongest paragraph? Why do you think it was better than others?

4) What was your weakest paragraph? Why do you think it wasn't as good as others?

5) How can you improve your extended writing in GCSE Media Studies in future?

6) Write ONE thing you have learned about the internet, audience and industry from completing this essay.

Extension task

Research one of the three industries (music, film/TV, news) and find statistics and quotes that link to how the audience experience of that industry has changed as a result of the internet. For example, social media has now overtaken TV as the main news source for young people - showing how power is shifting in the news industry away from traditional institutions (full details in this BBC news article). 


Revision: January assessment

When you come back in January you will have your next GCSE Media assessment. This will be on everything we have learned in Media so far including:
  • Denotation and connotation
  • Audience theories
  • Industry terminology
  • Film Industry CSPs (Doctor Strange and I, Daniel Blake)

If you do not finish your learner response in the lesson, this needs to be completed at home by your next Media lesson.
