  1. WWW: good start to GCSE Media Luke - well done. I like the clean formatting of the posts in your BLOG and your research project met the bullet points provided.

    EBI: I would like to have seen a specific analysis of the target audience for the film you selected - check the LR below to help you to write one.

    LR - in a new blog post answer the following...who was it aimed at? was there more than one audience for it? What gender were they? What other films will they watch? WHat media will they access? How much do they earn? What education have they had? Think of some similar questions and answer them too
