How much was your own
production influenced by existing texts?
How
did you identify the conventions? How did you research into existing texts?

follow conventions? Think about the relationship with audiences here.
Which
conventions did you follow?
How
easy was it to follow conventions in your own work? Were there any obstacles?

I
used these conventions in the following ways. Give details about how your

some way. Try to discuss why following conventions is important in terms of the
text’s relationship with the audience.
In
my Year 13 film promotion exercise
In
Year 13 I made a trailer and to do this identified a number of key
conventions….(explain what they were). Discuss to what extent you conformed
with or challenged these conventions in your work. Use lots of detail.
In the examination, questions will be posed using one or two of
these categories.
Where
candidates have produced relevant work outside the context of their A Level
media course, they are free to additionally refer to this experience.
