<p>A revision resource for A Level Media Studies focused on the WJEC Eduqas specification and the theorists listed in the exam board Teaching Guides.</p> <p>I encourage my students to highlight the sections on the sheet as we cover the material. It also serves as a basis for checking knowledge later on. It is designed to fit on a single side of A4 paper, though it scales decently to A3 for displaying.</p> <p>The two-page resource summarises each theoretical viewpoint briefly and organises the theorists according to the appropriate theoretical framework.</p> <p>This resource pairs reasonably well with the A Level Media Studies - Exams Structure and Theories knowledge organiser available on the store.</p> <p>Both the .pdf and the .pub are included so that you can customise it to your teaching groups.</p>

<p>236 slides including 16 comprehensive lessons covering the in-depth CSP Lupin (paired with The Responder) for the 2024 cohort. This sow covers all frameworks such as: representation, audience, contexts, narrative, genre, media language, and industry. Each framework has at least one lesson covering the relevant theories such as: Hesmondhalgh, Reception Theory, Hall (Representation), post-colonialism (Gilroy), Cultivation Theory, Neale (Genre theory), Barthes, Todorov, Semiotics, Butler, Van Zoonen, bell hooks, Levi Straus, etc. There are also 10 hwk tasks includes which aim to further understanding of Lupin or wider contexts which are relevant for the study of the media course such as: Shipman, London Riots, etc. HWK tasks are designed to interleave some of the skills from Media One and Media Two. There are also relevant articles included in a pack for context.</p>

This visually-engaging and informative resource is perfect for helping Media students to understand the key concept of Representations. Through a range of different and interesting tasks , students learn to identify and understand representations at work in the media, and become familiar with key terms such as 'stereotyping; and 'aspects of character.'<br /> <br /> The learning journey is progressive and step-by-step, allowing for bite-size chunks of progress to be evident and regular intervals. Students learn to:<br /> - Understand that everyone sees images and ideas differently;<br /> - Define the key terms 'representations' and 'stereotypes;'<br /> - Understand some common representations and stereotypes;<br /> - Analyse the reasoning and effects of different representations;<br /> - Analyse how different characters are represented in a key media text.<br /> <br /> The key media text that I have chosen for the main analysis task is the movie 'Warrior' (2011) starring Tom Hardy, but the resources can be easily adapted to suit different media texts should you choose to.<br /> <br /> All images are licensed for commercial use and are cited on the final slide of the presentation.
