About Media Production and Coursework
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
This unit sits in the Media Forms and Industries strand of Photography and film. Most of what it lists is mind maps, many of them written as coursework evaluations. Several answer the question about what the student learnt about technologies while making a product. They cover cameras, a tripod, online tools such as a YouTube converter, and editing software.
Where to start
Begin with the evaluation maps. Evaluation Question 4 is a good first stop because it splits technology use into research and planning, construction and filming, and evaluation. Then read the map on how effective the combination of a main product and ancillary texts is. It looks at why a house style or brand identity matters across several media products.
Production ideas and finished work
Next, look at the practical examples. The Grass and Glass Radio Advert map lays out contact details, services and a special deal. Other maps cover DVD covers, a music magazine, Location Scout, Cinematography and horror and romance ideas. The map on how a finished music video conforms to indie rock conventions shows how a student links a product to genre.
Using maps and flashcards together
There are no quizzes on this page, so flashcards do the testing. Software Flashcards and Risk Assessment are useful for recalling tools and planning points. One deck asks what audience readings are and who invented them, and what genre and iconography mean. Read a map, then cover it and try to recall the main points. One note, Question 1A, shows how a technology answer can be structured by production stage.
Making it your own

Frequently asked questions
Where should I start on this page?
Start with the evaluation mind maps, especially Evaluation Question 4, which breaks technology use into research and planning, construction and filming, and evaluation. After that, move on to the maps about combining a main product with ancillary texts, then look at the production examples.
What do the mind maps cover?
Most are coursework evaluations and production ideas. They include answers about cameras, tripods, online tools and editing software, plus a radio advert, DVD covers, music magazine pages, location scouting, cinematography and genre ideas such as horror, romance and documentary.
Are there quizzes here?
There are no quizzes on this page. It offers mind maps, a few flashcard decks and some notes instead. The flashcards, such as Software Flashcards and Risk Assessment, are the quickest way to test yourself on terms and planning points.
Which level and exams do these resources suit?
Almost all of the resources suit school students, and teachers can use them as examples. One resource is tied to A-level Media Studies, so students on that course will find the evaluation-style answers most familiar.
Are the resources free, and who made them?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open and study, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account lets you save quiz scores and create your own maps, flashcards, quizzes and notes.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Try a nearby map first. Evaluation, genre and production maps often share ideas. If the gap remains, you can make your own mind map or flashcards on that topic, using the existing examples as a guide.
