Specification for Section B



This written half of my exam is split into two sections: (From the Specification).

"G322: Key Media Concepts (TV Drama)
This paper covers the two areas of Textual Analysis and Representation alongside Institutions and Audiences. In Section A, candidates answer questions on an unseen moving image extract that is then linked to some aspect of the representation within the sequence. In Section B, candidates study a specific media industry from a choice of: film, music, newspapers, radio, magazines or video games. This unit is externally examined."

This blog is focusing on Section B - where we compare two media industries in film and contrast their differences/ similarities. However, the difference between the companies is that one is a big expensive funded company such as DISNEY and one small independently owned company VERTIGO.
