Debates
• Remember it’s not about making a 1 sided argument!
• Discuss and debate pros/cons– Example: digital technology – Don’t write whole essay about how amazing (it’s
revolutionary, faster, efficient etc etc) and useful it is; also explore the disadvantages on industry and audiences (can be expensive, piracy, causes industry to be unpredictable if advancing so quickly etc etc)
• For grade B and above

Style of question
• Might be a ‘question’ or a ‘quote question’
• Question: How important is technological convergence for institutions and audiences?
• Quote Question: “Successful media products depend as much on marketing and distribution to a specific audience………” To what extent would you agree with this statement?

Comparing P, M, D, E
If you got ‘marketing’ and ‘consumption’:
1) Marketing (comparing indie/mainstream….and pointing out
pros/cons)
2) Consumption (cinema) (comparing indie/mainstream….and pointing out
pros/cons)
3) Consumption (home) (comparing indie/mainstream….and pointing out
pros/cons)
1) Mainstream-P, M, D, E
2) Independent -P, M, D, E
3) similarities/differences between them?*
*you could try to discuss pros/cons, in this you might be able to compare similarities and
differences
