Today we were back in the building and considering the Cross-Media study which relates to SectionB of the exam. Discussion considered the nature of the AUDIENCE/PRODUCER debate and linked this debate to our Cross-Media Study. Students were asked to consider the question:
'AUDIENCES ARE NO LONGER JUST CONSUMERS OF MEDIA TEXTS BUT PRODUCERS TOO'. To what extent is this true of the media products in your case study?
The class were offered an exemplar essay and encouraged to select the two texts that will provide the focus of their Case Study. The class were made aware of the synergy between the broadcast media 'One Born Every Minute' and the Channel Four e-media.
THE E-MEDIA IN OUR CASE STUDY IS ABSOLUTELY CENTRAL TO ANY DEBATE BUT STUDENTS NEED TO BE AWARE OF HOW THE PRINT/BROADCAST/E-MEDIA PLATFORMS ENABLE THE AUDIENCE TO CONSUME, RESPOND AND PARTICIPATE IN A SPECIFIC MEDIA TEXT.
HOMEWORK: Complete the evaluation for coursework and research your two cross-media texts. Friday is my coursework deadline day. WE will be attempting the Cross-Media Study essay in the next session. Bring some wisdom.
