The essay title is:
What impact does media ownership have upon the range of products available to audiences in the media area you have studied? (January 2012)
To guide you, 'media ownership' refers to the institutions that plan, make, distribute and exhibit different films, so please cover the following, but write most on the first two:
Use the hyperlinks above!- The Big Six (our case study is Disney and (for example) Avengers Assemble
- and here is a model essay outline),
- UK companies (like Vertigo and Warp),
- micro budget films (such as Tortoise in Love),
- crowd-sourced films (Ridley Scott A Life in a Day, 2011)
- as well as consumers as producers / short film director-producer (Casey Neistat www.youtube.com/user/caseyneistat and casey.nyc).
Remember that you won't get level 4 marks without reference to trends and to your personal media consumption.
