Ofqual's massive cock up

Ofqual Haven't Half Cocked Up Here.

After months and months of hard work us hard working cherubs put into preparing for your GCSE's Ofqual decided that they would change the grade boundaries for the exams, how smart!

Ofqual thought that the boundaries we all worked so hard towards were too easy to get what we deserved and needed were stolen away from us. We were almost mugged by an examine board, i mean what on earth is going on there?!

Places in sixth forms and colleges we all applied at may have been thrown back in our faces due to these fools changing what we should of got! One student from said "I didn't get into any of my sixth form choices, i'll never be able to go to uni" I'm sure this student isnt the only one feeling the aftermath of ofquals ridicule result change.

Basically. Ofqual have made a decision which is effecting all teenagers result's and even their futures!

Jobs & apprenticeships are becoming increasingly difficult to come across and the fact Ofqual decided to make it even harder to get the grades we wanted, deserved and needed is just putting an even bigger drought on getting jobs!

Ofqual, you haven't half cocked up here.

Key Media Concepts

Target Audience: The target audience is the people who the media product is aimed at. The main audience is known as the "Key Audience"

Genre: Genre is the type of programme or film you're watching. e.g. for a television programme there is: soap opera & Reality T.V. And for example in films there is: Comedy & Horror.

Conventions of a film: "Conventions" are the key feature of a film. e.g. in a horror film you can expect to see a good looking girl in a secluded house in the middle of no where at night time..

Code: Code is a way of telling the audience something  but without using words. This can be done with the way props are used, e.g. If a pumpkin was in use, the viewer would assume it is Halloween without the actor having to stand and tell them that it is.
