11X - Media Studies coursework

Hi guys,

By now you should have all finished the 'Planning' sections for your Media Studies coursework. This should include:

• Statement of intent
• Mood board
• 2/3 drafts with questionnaire
• Detailed final draft

You now have to complete your actual productions. This means making a FRONT COVER and a CONTENTS PAGE to a professional standard. Look back in your notes to check that your production uses all the CONVENTIONS of a magazine front cover and contents page and that you use the CODES appropriate to your TARGET AUDIENCE.

If you have photos saved you can get them on the shared area: W:\Media Studies\10X2 - Mr Kirkaldy

You have this week to complete your work - I will be in on FRIDAY to collect it.

Have a great half-term,
Mr Kirkaldy
