This document provides guidance to students on how to structure their answer for an exam question about using conventions of real media texts in their coursework productions. It recommends:
1. Splitting the answer into three stages of production - pre-production, production, and post-production - and listing examples from each stage.
2. Highlighting the key examples from each production stage that will be discussed in the essay.
3. Writing an introduction that answers the exam question, briefly outlines productions from AS and A2 years, and explains the essay structure.
4. Using PDQ paragraphs with a Point, Data, and link to the Question in analyzing examples from each production stage.
