GCSE MEDIA REVISION TIMETABLE 2016

Remember, Section A is where you answer questions about a given film trailer and you will

need to compare it to another film trailer you have studied. Section B is where you get to be

creative and produce something to do with film posters. Timing is crucial- both sections are

worth the same amount of marks. The best ways to revise are to look at as many film

trailers and posters as possible and practice, practice, practice!

Each session will take place on a Friday in IC2 - revision can be independent but the

sessions will be the same theme, so drop in if you need any answers or help.
