Welcome to my media blog, my name is Lauren Hall and through this blog I'll be documenting the process of my media coursework.


The coursework for this year's media studies A-level at Hills Road is to create a 2min 30- 3min audio-visual sequence of a scene from a factual or fictional TV show which would be broadcast on either ITV or Channel5 and would be aimed towards a target audience of millennials, the sequence must be from one of 3 points in the narrative/structure of the show: a key turning point, a point of significant conflict or a resolution. As well as this, I will need to produce a magazine cover and 2 page spread for that show in a lifestyle magazine of my creation.


I also need to write a statement of aims and intentions, this will need to be approximately 500 words long. For my statement of aims and intentions I will need to create a brief outline of my aims and intentions for my product.

I am very proud of the front cover I have produced because I think that it looks like a real magazine cover, I have used a range of font text to interest the target market and a restricted colour palette to make...

THEORY                                                                                             My audio visual piece will fit into Todorov's narrative theory because it features a key turning point in  which would act as the disruption within the episode. Another theorist whose ideas fit with my work is  Steve Neal, his theory that genre is dominated by repetition will be enforced by the characters in the show committing a crime, making it fit into the crime drama genre. Hall suggested that there are 3 ways an audience can intemperate text: through the preferred reading, negotiated reading and oppositional reading. The preferred reading for my audio-visual piece would be to idolise the 2 main characters' confidence and skill because it is some...
