Textual Analysis Exam.

This forms 50% of your Textual Analysis examination.
This unit assesses your skills in the textual analysis of the languages and conventions
of media forms, using a short unseen extract of an action/adventure film and to assess your understanding of the concept of representation using two tabloid editions.

The examination is two hours long (including 30 minutes for viewing and making notes on the
moving image extract) and candidates are required to answer two compulsory questions.
There are two sections, you should spend 45 minutes writing for each.
• Section A
An unseen moving image extract with one compulsory question dealing with textual analysis
of technical aspects of the moving image medium.
The moving image extract will be provided by OCR with full instructions for the administration
of the examination, viewing conditions and note-making.
• Section B
One compulsory question on a comparative study of two tabloids. You must prepare this comparison in advance but you may not bring in the editions or any notes.
