Time to start building those case studies.
1 Pick two texts (one from cinema and one from television). They need to be contemporary texts that
have easily accessible marketing campaigns
2 Open a new google drive document. Call it 'My Case Study' start collecting information about how
these two texts are presented to audiences across platforms. You should be looking at...
-Trailers, Posters, coverage in both tabloid and quality newspapers, magazines, apps, games, viral
online campaigns, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, fan blogs/parodies, official websites, merchandise.
Everything basically! The focus is on how your chosen texts are presented to different ways, to
different audiences on different platforms.
3 Here are some good examples of previous case studies, please read them in detail and note how they cover all 3 platforms. Note how each case study is very good at showing how the chosen text is presented to audiences across a wide variety of platforms. This is key to success in this unit.
-The Dark Knight
-Three Romantic Comedy films
-The Lego Movie
-Skyfall
good luck!!

the unit.

Mainstream media is a powerful influence on the construction of an individual’s identity. Use your case study to explore the impact of the media in the construction of identities.
‘We are defined by the media we use.’ How does your case study suggest audiences use the media to construct their own identity?
‘Social media has only served to reinforce existing values and ideologies’. Does your case study suggest social media has played a positive or negative role in the construction of identities?
‘The variety of media available encourages us to create many different identities for ourselves’. How far do you agree with this statement?
4 Have a cool yule.

basic but useful intro to Stuart Hall's theory.
Nice prezi here that outlines the 4 stages of representation outlined by Cedric Clark
This is very useful, flexible theory that can be applied to all representation case studies
