investigated, and analyse
its:
a) purpose
b) genre
c) form
d) style
e) content
f ) meaning
g) production process

understanding is
supported by examples
within the chosen media
product
D1: Learners’ analysis
shows a thorough
understanding of the
relationship between
purpose, form, content
and meaning within the
intentions of the chosen
media product
Task 2 Feedback
1. GENERAL OVERVIEW
Lacks detail. No headings: Who is director? What
is budget? Where was it filmed? Just info on one
location. Check the task sheet and add missing
info. Work has now been amended showing some
nice research.
2. PURPOSE
Task not understood. Why was film made?
Check the task sheet and redo. Work has now
been amended showing some nice research on
diversity, but nothing on box office or profit for
Disney.
3. GENRE
Some detail but genre not identified. Detail is
confusing. Check the task sheet and improve.
Work has now been amended but still lacks good
understanding of genre and conventions.
4. FORM
Some nice detail on different technology used.
Needs more on distribution. Still not enough on
distribution.
5. STYLE
Some detail and understanding shown of how
style used to attract audience.
6. CONTENT & MEANING
A breakdown of trailer with no analysis just a
description of what we see and hear. Some
analysis of audience and dominant ideologies.
You need to analyse trailer – please add. Analysis
is basic and shows limited understanding.

4. Learning Outcome 2:
Understand the relationship between media products and their target audience
Task 3: Audience Profiling Research
Part A (P3):
Using the BFI statistical yearbook (look specifically at the 2015 ones related
to our film), your theory notes and your own research, create a
report/infographic/audience profile that explains who the audience is for
Force Awakens.
• You should create stereotypical avatars (online, hand-drawn,
photograph) for both male and female audiences.
• Annotate your avatars in terms of gender, age, life style, and
spending power
• Include theory: NRS scale, 4C’s scale, Uses & Gratifications
Theory, Cultivation theory and Morley
Part B (M2):
Now that you know who your target audience is, conduct a survey or focus
group to find out more about the relationship of the chosen audience and
our case study film.
Your questions should find out more about age, class, life style and
spending power of your audience.
Then analyse your findings as a results report.
Part C (D2):
As part of your results report, to achieve a distinction you need to explain:
• What aspects of the film would appeal to the target audience?
• Which aspects of the trailer would influence the target audience
to view the film
You should give examples of scenes/parts of the trailer in your answer. You
could also break this in sections gender, age, lifestyle and spending power.
P3: Learners analyse the
demographics of the
target audience for their
chosen media product,
identifying the audience’s:
a) gender
b) age
c) lifestyle
d) spending power
M2: Learners’ analysis of
the target audience
shows a good
understanding of the
relationship between the
target audience and their
chosen media product
D2: Learners explain
what aspects of the
media product would
appeal to the target
audience and what would
influence the target
audience to use the
product
Task 3 Feedback:
Part A:
Good avatars created with good use of
annotations and theory.
Part B:
A questionnaire has been created that asks
relevant questions
Part C:
No evidence of sample, how many people
answered your questionnaire? What did you
learn? The report does not seem to reference
your results? Work has now been amended
showing some basic understanding. Still no
evidence of questionnaire answers and analysis
of sample is basic.

6. Learning Outcome 4:
Understand ethical, legal, and regulatory issues associated with media products
TASK 5: Legal & Ethical, Impact and Representation Report
This is to explore how media products are created within a legal and ethical
framework of the society in which they are constructed. Producers and
institutions have to be very aware of the possible positive and negative
effects that their products may have upon individuals and communities.
• For this task you must investigate and research the
legal, ethical and regulatory restrictions within which your
chosen film was made.
• Your investigation will illustrate your understanding of
how these legal and ethical requirements have an impact
upon the producers, the product and subsequently how the
product may affect its audiences.
• Your discussion must be placed within the context of
UK law and relevant regulatory bodies associated with your
chosen media product.
• Produce a report answering the above
P5: Learners
demonstrate their
understanding of their
chosen media product by
analysing:
a) the product’s impact
and effect on the
audience
b) relevant issues of
representation
c) relevant legal and/or
ethical issues
d) role of relevant
regulatory bodies
M3: Learners’ analysis of
their chosen media
product demonstrates a
good understanding of
how legal and ethical
constraints impact on the
product. They relate the
legal and ethical issues
analysed for the chosen
media product to the role
that the relevant
regulatory bodies play in
upholding guidelines and
regulations
Feedback task 5:
NOT DONE?
Work has now been completed showing some
understanding of issues with detail on how it
