LR - Industry and audience power essay

1) Copy and paste your feedback from the email in full - WWW, EBI and LR.

WWW:

  • Some ability to comment on the three traditional types of media industries e.g., music, film and television and print and how the internet has impacted these.


  • Some examples provided on how the internet has affected an industry e.g. streaming services causing audiences to ‘binge watch’



EBI:

  • Lacking enough detail - this is under the word count. If you gave more examples for each type of industry and included audience theory you would meet the word count requirement.


  • Lacking audience theory in your essay e.g. Uses and Gratifications, active and passive audiences, Hypodermic Needle theory, Two-Step flow model’.

2) What was the word count for your essay?

422

3) What was your strongest paragraph? Why do you think it was better than others?

In the music industry, audiences have benefited massively from the internet. This is because of services such as Spotify and YouTube which allow for quick and convenient access to millions of different songs. Downloading songs has never been easier and most music is free to listen to unlike a few decades ago. Many artists can become popular just by making songs at home by sharing them online. This gives audiences power to make or break the career of artists by giving positive/negative feedback of the song.

This is my strongest paragraph because it is used as my hook to show the true power of the internet and it also contains thhe most words

4) What was your weakest paragraph? Why do you think it wasn't as good as others?

However, audiences can get addicted to shows and start to repeatedly "binge watch" these shows, which is a trap that the producers want to catch the consumers in. In addition to this, many people using online services to watch films and TV shows are restricted to smaller screens such as a phone.

This is my weakest paragraph as the last sentence does not make any sense

5) How can you improve your extended writing in GCSE Media Studies in future?

Cut out the waffle/unnecessary bits of the essay and only write things that are important/provide value to the essay

6) Write ONE thing you have learned about the internet, audience and industry from completing this essay.

The media industry has great power over its audience.
