Coursework Set Brief

-


The CAIE Media Studies exam is divided into two main sections: the foundation portfolio and the analysis of media texts and their contexts. In the foundation portfolio, we’re tasked with creating a two-minute film opening, which is worth 50 marks. This involves crafting an opening sequence that includes titles, character introductions, shot composition, and sets the film’s tone. We’ll be editing our work using VN video editor, and our final assessment will evaluate our camera work, editing skills, mise-en-scène, and sound design. 

The second section, also carrying 50 marks, is focused on analyzing a media text and its context. For this part of the exam, we’ll watch a five-minute clip from an unknown film, which will be played several times. We need to analyze the clip using technical film terminology and consider both the micro and macro aspects of filmmaking. The written exam will test our grasp of how elements like representation, editing, mise-en-scène, sound, and camera work contribute to the film's overall meaning.
