GCSE Media Studies CD work
Coursework Research - CD
1. Research the codes and conventions of CD Albums (what do they typically have, where and why?) Place a CD front and back image (don’t forget the spine) on a sheet and annotate. YOU HAVE DONE THE BEYONCE SHEET.
An example of a back cover annotated analysis
2. Choose a genre for own CD Cover: Pop, Rock, Hip Hop, Grime, Metal, Country, Folk, Jazz, Blues, Soul…its up to you!
3. Do some research on the genre - Origins, characteristics, style, influences, development, major contributors (artists) and target audience.
4. When you have chosen a genre PICK 3 CD Albums from that genre to analyse. Using ‘analysis of a CD cover’ sheet to help (in your handbook) and help on the blog…Write notes on each point. A good way to do this is an annotated front and back cover. Remember to be specific and make sure you state the connotations and purpose/ effect.
DO NOT LOSE THIS INFORMATION AS IT FORMS PART OF YOUR COURSEWORK AND WILL BE MARKED. REMEMBER COURSEWORK IS 60% OF GCSE
