Rhocea's Media Identity

MEDIA IDENTITY: RIME


Crowdsourced specification guide task

Crowd-sourced specification guide

For this task, you will work in small teams in your own time to put together a guide to what is currently available for a particular level for a particular subject. 

The options are for the groups of three:

A level Media Studies (AQA, OCR, WJEC)- Emma, Chris, Simone
GCSE Media Studies (AQA, OCR, WJEC)- Bex, Tammana, Rhocea
A level Film Studies (WJEC and OCR)- Rime, Danielle, Sonal

The options for the pairs are:

GCSE Film Studies (WJEC)- Reece, David
BTEC and Cambridge Technicals in Media (Level 2, Pearson and OCR)- Neil, Dan

You will need to find the current specifications and examples of exam papers from the exam board websites


What you need to find out

What’s on offer across the exam boards?
How many students complete the course for each board each year?
What are the differences between the specifications?
What are the exams like?
What is the coursework like?
What philosophy seems to underlie each specification?
What do teachers think of them?
What do you see as the strengths and weaknesses of each?

Most of this research can be done by looking online, but you may wish to contact people for views- it’s up to you!

For GCSE and A level, you will also need to find out what the implications are for the subject and level as a result of the subject criteria proposals. These can be found here:


You might find these sites useful for general data:

There is also a critique by David Buckingham on the MEA site from 2014:


You may collate and present your findings in any way you wish- it could be a document for circulation, a video, a PowerPoint/Keynote, a Prezi, a Wiki, a blogpost- whatever you like! But it must be ready to share by 9am next Tuesday (29th) and everyone in the group must contribute (roughly) equally.

Education island

Each student had to draw an island which represented some aspect of their educational experience- it could be a snapshot of a moment, such as 16-19, the whole thing or whatever. We then discussed how they had drawn out their experiences and reflected on some lessons learned for future practice




Build your own chairs

Is there no end to the skills and talents of these PGCE students?

Media Identity Task

MY MEDIA IDENTITY

By Wednesday 23rd, prepare something about your ‘media identity’. You can use any form you wish and it doesn’t need to be fancy or professional!

It might be:

A mixtape of music or sounds that matter to you
A collage of media images which in some way contributes to your identity
A mashup video of  film, tv or online material that expresses something about you
Or anything else!

Upload it or link it to the blog.

Be prepared to talk about it on Wednesday 23rd in the afternoon.
