Radio: The Surgery & Life Hacks Our first CSP for radio is the BBC Radio 1 show  The Surgery . Our key concepts for Radio are industries and audience so these are the contexts we need to consider when studying the texts.

It featured presenter Katie Thistleton and advice from Dr Radha Modgil. It worked like an agony aunt column in old teenage magazines and took on controversial subjects such as gender identity, sexuality, relationships and mental health. It featured texts and calls from listeners and the post-watershed slot meant adult topics could be discussed.

Radio: Introduction to radio Our final media topic is radio. We have two CSPs to study and also need to consider the place for radio in a digital media landscape. Radio CSPS War of the Worlds  – Columbia Broadcasting Company (1938) The Surgery  – BBC Radio 1 (2017) These are targeted CSPs and need to be studied with reference to two elements of the Theoretical Framework ( Audiences  and  Industries ) and all relevant contexts.  Example exam questions Briefly define public service broadcasting (PSB) [2 marks] To what extent is War of the Worlds a historically significant media product?

i intend to improve my media production by including dialogue in my trailer without it being covered or blurred out by background music. i also intend to improve my production by widening the range of transitions i have used to better interest the audience and give the production a sense of danger at certain scenes. my last improvement for my production is to find the right music to fit the genre and feel of my production without it being too explicit.

Coursework: Film trailer pre-production The Ignite presentations have been both entertaining and inspiring - now it's time to take the next steps in our planning. Pitching a film to a group is a daunting prospect and from our presentation and feedback we should now have a good idea of what will work and what needs re-drafting. You should already have the following posted to your Media 2 coursework blog: 1) Summer project research: six film trailers each with a specific media language focus 2) Film pitch for your film idea 3) Statement of Intent 4) Ignite presentation,  feedback and learner response Statement of Intent: tutorial Over the next week of lessons, you will have an in-depth tutorial with your coursework teacher on your  Statement of Intent . This is worth 10 marks but more importantly  MUST  set out a detailed plan for your actual coursework (including specific references to aspects of film language such as shots, edit points and use of sound).
