ABOUT THE QE MEDIA BLOG

What is it?
This blog is an online bank of resources, articles and information that should assist and increase the knowledge and understanding of all students studying GCSE, AS and A2 Media.  This site contains an variety of blog posts, videos, PowerPoint Presentations, PDFs and examples of students' work to assist you with coursework and exam modules.  At QE the exam boards you are studying through are OCR for GCSE and WJEC at Post 16. You may discover a link to topics that mention other exam boards, such as AQA, however many topics are generically covered by several exam boards so please don't think we have provided you with a dodgy link!

The content of this blog has been largely compiled and re-edited from existing sources that we believe offer the best insight into the topics covered, these have been referenced or contain links as often as possible. Apologies for any lapses, these can be amended if any source feels uncredited.

Original content is also included from guidance, lecture notes and student contributions. Encouraging student understanding and achievement is at the heart of all content.

Who is it for?
The blog is for all students  who are passionate about Media as a creative form and wish to develop their learning and understanding. The tabs at the top will direct you to the your appropriate age range, i.e. Post-16 for AS and A2 level.

The Aims and Objectives

The site is dedicated to informing and assisting students with analytical, conceptual, technical, visual and cultural debates in contemporary society.

To navigate the blog

To most efficiently navigate the blog site, we recommend you use the labels section on the right-hand column. Labels categorise posts to ensure the user can find what they are looking for quickly. If all else fails you can search for keywords via the search option on the site. All posts are tagged with keywords, so if you were for example searching for a particular text or topic you can simply search using topics or by referring to specific texts, issues or genres.

The pages listed under the header are stand alone pages that cover some of the fundamental aspects of the courses such as the specification, mark schemes and exam papers.

Feel free to explore the site and add suggestions if you find anything of interest.
