Essay Plan

MEST1 Section B: essay plan

Our Ill Manors case study is designed to equip us with examples and media debates to take on the MEST1 Section B essay.
1) How long have you got to write? (45 minutes)
2) How much should you write? (5-6 well developed sections/paragraphs plus intro and conclusion)
3) What do you NEED to cover? (Three media platforms; three films)
4) What gets you the top marks? (ANSWERING THE QUESTION and CRITICAL AUTONOMY!)

Example question: blog task


Consider how imaginative techniques are used by media products from your cross-media study to attract and maintain audiences. Support your answer with reference to a range of examples from three media platforms. [32 marks]

Write up a detailed plan with examples from your Ill Manors case study on your blog.

This should include all three media platforms and at least FIVE paragraphs.
