REVISION: Spec broken down part 1
This is the spec I will be going through all this in a PPT as a last minute reminder but I will post it up here as I do it to help you. First of here's a reminder of everything that the exam board wants us to know:
Candidates should be prepared to understand and discuss the processes of production, distribution, marketing and exchange as they relate to contemporary media institutions, as well as the nature of audience consumption and the relationships between audiences and institutions. In addition, candidates should be familiar with:
The issues raised by media ownership in contemporary media practice;
The importance of cross media convergence and synergy in production, distribution and marketing;
The technologies that have been introduced in recent years at the levels of production, distribution, marketing and exchange;
The significance of proliferation in hardware and content for institutions and audiences;
The importance of technological convergence for institutions and audiences;
The issues raised in the targeting of national and local audiences (specifically, British) by international or global institutions;
The ways in which the candidates’ own experiences of media consumption illustrate wider patterns and trends of audience behaviour.
Firstly, behind the cut I will be focusing on the elements of production, marketing, distribution and exchange. Remember: These are just prompts, if you don't have the notes to answer questions asked then you need to do some reading.

Game adverts before the Hobbit
Just watched The Hobbit - No less than three game ads before the film. Though what was interesting was the choice of game genres depicted in the ads: All three were very cinematic but what was interesting was that two out of three were MMORPGS and the other was a dystopian fantasy FPS
