Summer Home Learning - Music Industry

Here is the link for the worksheet for your homework in case you have lost it or were absent for our last lesson - Summer Home Learning

This work has to be completed by ALL year 10 students as it will help you transition into the next unit of work which is also the next controlled assessment.

Once completed, please e-mail it to me: s.patel@alperton.brent.sch.uk

I expect to see it in my inbox before our first lesson back.

If you need help, please do ask (but not at the last minute!) and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

10B HW Due: Monday 19th May

Makes notes on the following questions:

1. Are you pleased with your completed advert? What elements do you think are strongest?
2. What elements would you like to change? What would have made your advert more successful?
3. Create a table showing the strengths and weaknesses of your advert.
4. How have you chosen to represent women? Is this similar to representations of women you have studied in modern adverts?
5. What advertising conventions does your advert use? Does it use them effectively?
6. What selling techniques does your advert use? Why did you use them? How do they help your product appeal to your target audience?
7. Think about where your advert would be seen. What women’s magazines would you find it in? Research women’s magazines – select three you think are the most appropriate and explain why. If it is on a billboard, what type of location would it be in? Why?

The more thought you put into it now the easier it will be in controlled conditions. Remember, it will be on Monday 19th May period 1 and 2.
