Your completed  summer project  will give you most of the information you need for this - particularly the planning section - but you may have  changed  or developed your idea since the summer. Your preliminary exercise learner response may also help you consider what you plan to create for your real coursework production.

statement of intent for magazine Masthead: Drift Leading Article: Where the sea takes you with Iris Newman  I plan to produce a front cover and a double-page spread for a gossip-style magazine which will feature a celebrity's interview-style thoughts on her "self-help book/ autobiography" with extracts of the book on travel destinations.

The narrative in Tongue Tied is used to engage the audience by utilising music video conventions which create exciting visuals through practical effects, camerawork, CGI, lighting and editing, the fast pace of the video matches the tempo of the song creating the illusion that the audience is there experiencing what happens at the scene, allowing viewers to vicariously live through the narrative. Enigma codes such as the device and what it does and why the rioters are trying to protect it also goads the audience further on to find out the answer to their questions.

  BBC Radio 1 launch 1967 Our first Radio CSP is the launch of BBC Radio 1 in 1967. Our Radio products are targeted CSPs and need to be studied with reference to two elements of the Audiences and Industries as well as Historical, Social and Cultural Contexts.
