CSP Booklet

Please refer to the CSP booklet found on this page (or hopefully you have already downloaded a copy in your own folder) for some starting points in terms of research, ideas, concepts, approaches.

TASK 1

Monday 9th September Dr M not in, so please take 60 minutes to record some data (qualitative and quantitative) about the TV programme that you watched in class or at home:

  1. Look at the CSP booklet which gives starting points to approach each TV episode and make notes in your book about the TV programme that you watched in class.
  2. Engage in some independent research to find out some more information (ie different from everybody else) about the TV programme that you watched in class
  3. Transfer your research notes into a 4 cell table. Each cell should have one of the 4 Key Approaches that we adopt in the Media Studies A level (see page 9 of the syllabus): media language; media representation; media industries; media audiences.
  4. Return to your research to make sure that each table has the same quantity of data.
  5. Audit the data you have for each cell (for example you could colour code your notes) so that you have both quantitative and qualitative data.
  6. Finally, make sure your notes are evidential (ie data driven) and not just supposition, personal, emotional, or just plain made up!
