To do so successfully you need to use precise media language to denote both your own and existing videos for context.
Start with notes/lists before trying to write paragraphs:
- you need to start by stating which course/brief you will be commenting on (A2 music video) and BRIEFLY BUT CLEARLY describing this for the examiner
- define the concept in a way that you can remember and understand (ask for help where needed)
- list any details from your text that might help discuss this
- list any details from existing texts that might help discuss
- decide which to focus on and denote these in sufficient detail to 'paint a picture' for an examiner who has not seen the texts
- keep doing this before writing up paragraphs
- review your notes: can you see ways to link possible paragraphs? if so, this will suggest a structure for your essay
- as you continue to prep the exam, it will help you if you look for links between the 5 'MANGeR' topics: you can revise fewer theories/examples if you look for links between these 5 areas and theories that are useful for 2 or more
- NOW start writing it up
