The Guardian and Daily Mail audiovisual elements in websites
Convergent links and audiovisual content
The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2020/oct/29/god-and-the-gop-will-conservative-evangelicals-stay-loyal-to-trump-video
Carefully selected editing
Use of language and how the Guardian selects and constructs values and ideologies.
Use of white Evangelists for eg
Very carefully constructed.
Extreme stereotypes interviewed - white Evangelist preacher, reported by young Asian journalist.
Daily Mail TV syndicated American platform
Almost represents Trump as a king, no editing, no cutting. He appears very presidential, flags, desks, chair he appears almost like royalty promoting himself, still bemoaning election.

Advertising questions
For advertising, students could be asked to answer on a set advert, an unseen advert for a similar product, or a comparison of a set advert to an unseen advert for a similar product. Questions on set adverts are likely to reproduce the advert in the paper.
10 mark questions are likely to be AO1 (explain) questions so would focus on a set advert (as in the practice paper), and 15 mark questions are likely to be AO2 (analyse) questions so would be on an unseen advert either on its own (as in the 2019 paper) or compared to a set advert.

Magazine Tips from OCR
The research for the magazines set in Component 01, Section B could lead into the drafting of a layout for the front cover of a new magazine followed by a photography session, producing a set of marked up contact prints for the cover.
https://youtu.be/ElDOiblXFPw
https://youtu.be/8_TIRTqRr1A
https://youtu.be/5XD96iFyIXo
https://www.mediacollege.com/lighting/three-point/
Set up mini studio areas and take macro photos of the products. Control lighting and focus. Import photos into Photoshop. Demonstrate basic features of Photoshop (or any other image manipulation software you are using), making sure they understand layers, the magic wand, layer styles, text tool etc. Use the magic wand to cut accurately around the photo of the product (made easier because of the plain fabric background); source a suitable background image from the internet to add meaning to the product; devise a slogan or tagline and select an appropriate font (perhaps using www.Dafont.com or www.fontspace.com); experiment with adding shadow to the product or an effect to the text; try using the dropper tool to change the text colour to something cohesive with the images; experiment with the masking tool.
Draw up a rough layout first, then use Photoshop, InDesign etc. to create the cover digitally. Design a new masthead; consider carefully what the sell lines might be; take the cover photo(s) considering how the subject is represented (shot size and angle, lighting, facial expression, colour palette, make up, background, clothing etc. will all have an effect on how the figure is represented, anchored by the text) Remember to consider the price, to include a barcode, date and a web address. These activities may be published (physically or online) and submitted as a preliminary activity.

3) What factors did you have to take into account when planning, shooting and editing?
4) How successful was your music video/magazine/tv doc copy? Please identify what worked well, and with hindsight, what would you improve/do differently? What did others say about your production?

Preliminary tasks research and planning
Step 2 Make a step by step google slides from storyboarding and naming shots (or in magazines to CLIFTing your chosen product and preparing your models) to rough filming and outtakes to final product. Find one that you would like to copy and is doable in your surroundings/circumstances - magazine front cover and contents, tv doc 1st minute of the documentary, music video any one minute of video.
Step 3 Have a look at some free editing software on laptop or phone. I know this is not ideal but initially we will just need your footage. Film in landscape don't forget and get the shots, fonts etc as close to the original as possible. Practise a lot! Play original alongside. Here are some music video prelim tasks from last year

The Big Issue
- How the media through their forms, codes, conventions and techniques communicate meaningsgenre conventions of camera, editing, sound and mise-en-scene
- How are these elements used together to construct the media form so that it looks the way it does?
- How are these elements organised or combined in a certain way to communicate meaning in the set product?
- How does the genre develop?
- How does the content incorporate the viewpoints and ideology of the producer?
Media Representation:
- Which different groups, individuals and or events are presented or shown in each set product?
- What positive or negative stereotypes are evident and why?
- What messages and values are communicated about different groups, individuals and or events?
- What conclusions can we make about the representations?
- Which groups are misrepresented and under-represented?
- How are representations constructed as real?

Minecraft Construction
Every successful media construction requires research, planning, production and evaluation.
Even though sales are stronger than ever, Minecraft are trying to encourage all those young Fortnite fans to fall in love with the game as much as the older teens. You have been hired to come up with some merchandise ideas for Minecraft targeting both genders and aimed at a 7-16 audience.
Create a google slide or similar and include:
Research
What has been some of most successful merchandise aimed at this age group so far. eg Star Wars, Toy Story, Frozen
What other Minecraft merchandise is available currently? Show some examples.
Planning
Look at some print adverts and decide what the conventions are. Plan a design or describe your idea.
Production
Choose the programme you'd like to make your product on and design your product making sure you believe in its success and that it fits print advert conventions.
Evaluation
What was the task you were assigned?
What programme did you use to complete your task?
What tools did you use from your programme to create your task ie font websites, crop, colour changes etc?
What were the biggest obstacles to completing your task?
Describe your production and why you chose the various text headings and images?
What was your initial feedback? What did others say about your production?
Identify what went well and with hindsight what would you do differently?
