Music Video: Assessment question

We've revised our plans for Year 2 GCSE Media Studies after guidance from exam boards and school leadership.

It has been made clear that all students must have completed the full course of study in order to be awarded a grade in the subject so we have mapped out activities before and after Easter in order to document this clearly.

This week, we need to write an essay on the Music Video topic that links to the 20 mark essay that appears at the end of Paper 1, Section B.

We will then take on the final topic, the Film Industry, in the weeks after Easter.

Music Video assessment - blog tasks

Create a new blogpost called 'Music Video assessment' and answer the following question in an extended essay:

“Music videos are still important for artists to promote themselves to audiences.”

How far do you agree with this statement?

In your answer you must consider:
  • Social, historical and cultural contexts of music videos
  • One Direction – History and Arctic Monkeys – I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor
  • Technological change including the internet
[20 marks]

Due: Monday 20 April
