From the specification:
“The AS & A Level Media Studies course is developed around the four key concepts of Language, Representation, Industry and Audience. Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of these across all components.”
Media exams are about the degree to which you understand these key concepts and can discuss, debate, explain, illustrate, analyse…a case study.

So, on case studies:
This is important! You should understand that many of our case studies overlap across exams! Furthermore, your wider experience of the media is useful and should be bought into class discussion or included in essays you will be submitting.
On Note making:
You must keep handwritten or typed notes during all lessons!
It is important that you keep a log, a diary, a journal…a blog… of your learning. Just make a new blog in the dashboard and off you go.
DO NOT USE YOUR COURSEWORK BLOG!
Come to drop in for help with this.
