Eduqas GCSE Media Studies Component 2 television and music overview quiz quiz

Advertising and newspapers studied across a breadth of products

Only film, looked at across a wide range of different genres

Television (Section A) and music (Section B)

Only video games, including their marketing and online media

There is no real difference between the two components at all, since both of them cover exactly the same things

Component 2 has no written examination and is assessed entirely through coursework instead

Component 1 is only about audiences, while Component 2 is only about the media industries

Component 1 applies the framework across a breadth of forms; Component 2 studies a few set products in depth

Two comedy programmes made and broadcast in exactly the same year

A historic and a contemporary programme, often crime drama

Two news programmes from rival broadcasters covering the same events

A feature film paired together with a popular video game

Only the spoken dialogue between the characters on screen

Only the price that the audience pays to watch the programme

Camera, editing, sound and mise-en-scene

Only the opening title sequence at the start of the programme

It is not important at all, and you should always treat each one of the two given paired set products completely separately

Because the media regulator requires every candidate to compare the products by law in the exam

To avoid having to do any detailed analysis of the media language of either set product

The set products are paired (historic and contemporary), so you compare how the form and representations have developed

Only show the written lyrics of the song on the screen as the track plays

Promote the artist and construct a star image, often edited to the beat

Replace the song completely so the audience never actually hears it

Only show a straightforward news report about the recording artist

A type of low-angle camera shot used to make a music artist look powerful on the screen

A code set down and enforced by the official media regulator on artists

The constructed public image and identity of an artist, built through media language

A funding model that a record label uses to pay for an artist's videos

Printed newspapers and the way they report on the music artist

Video games that feature the music artist or their songs in them

Printed film posters used to advertise the artist's latest film

The artist's online media (website and social media)

It keeps all of the platforms completely separate so they never connect with one another at all

The music video, website and social media work together as a cross-media presence (synergy)

It bans the artist from using any social media to reach their audience

It removes the artist's brand from all of their different media platforms

They cannot participate online with a music artist in any way at all

Only by buying physical CDs of the artist's music from a shop

By sharing, commenting, creating content and joining a fan community

By becoming the official regulator of the artist's online media

A detailed plot summary that simply retells everything that happens in the set product from start to finish

Only the price of the product and the audience that the product is mainly aimed at

A simple list of all the different platforms the set product appears on, with nothing more

Framework-led analysis and comparison anchored in social, cultural, historical and political contexts

Assume that the set products never change at all and revise the very same ones every single year

Confirm the current set products with your centre, because Eduqas updates the list by bulletin

Use any media products you like, since the choice of set products does not really matter

Ignore the set products completely and revise products of your own choosing instead
