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.
