Film Industry Revision

You should have notes / blog posts on the following:

• Submarine
• The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
• The World's End
• Your own case study of a British Independent Film

The exam board says that you need to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:

1. the issues raised by media ownership in contemporary media practice
2. the importance of cross media convergence and synergy in production, distribution and marketing
3. the technologies that have been introduced in recent years at the levels of production, distribution, marketing and exchange
   
4. the significance of proliferation in hardware and content for institutions and audiences
5. the importance of technological convergence for institutions and audiences
6. the issues raised in the targeting of national and local audiences (specifically, British) by international or global institutions
   
7. the ways in which the candidates’ own experiences of media consumption illustrate wider patterns and trends of audience behaviour.
   

The exam question will be based on one or more of these key areas.
For example:
June 2010
What significance does the continuing development of media technology have for media institutions and audiences?

With this in mind you need to ensure that you are using the seven key areas when revising each of the films that we have studied. 

The student Prezi in the post below, on Submarine, gives a clear overview of how this can be done!
