Link to brief: 2

Use of media terminology (language/representation/theory): 2

Comments for AQA:

  • The candidate has outlined their intentions, but these are inconsistent as there is too much emphasis on the actual individual, they are choosing to represent rather than a focus on the magazine product itself or the audience they are intending to target
  • Some attempt to include relevant media terminology e.g. camera shots but again not enough to award top marks in higher levels

Next steps:

  • Go over the statement of intent guidance document and redraft this based on the exemplar that is there. Remember you need to include the title of your new celebrity gossip magazine and cover lines that you wish to include.
  • Consider the representation of the person you are highlighting for your ‘celebrity influencer’ for your double page spread – how would this appeal to the intended target audience?
  • What media theories can you include e.g. Propp, Todorov, Barthes or Blumler and Katz?
