Hey there,
I'm assuming that if you've clicked this thread, you take (or took, or are going to take) GCSE Media Studies.
So, if you're taking your GCSE in Media this year, like me, you're studying sitcoms. I guess i'm just wondering what everyone thinks is going to come up!
Also, the exam can be given out on Monday - but my teacher won't give us it until Tuesday :eusa_wall.
Discuss!

I suspect, it'll vary from Genre to genre.
Yeah i'm doing sitcoms as well, a little boring some parts of it I find.
I'm getting the pre-release on Wednesday. Will be interesting to see whats in it. :D
I don't remember doing sitcoms o_O
haha, I'm not doing Sitcoms, :)
It depends on the exam board your school picks :)
Hey Y'all, Yes I am doing "Sitcoms" too, the genre changes anually depending on the AQA board. Basically I think it is going to be...
what you guys thinking?
- Compare 2 Sitcoms
- Make your own Sitcom and do a storyboard for it
- History of Sitcoms
- 70s Sitcoms and Racism

i'm doing sitcoms aha. ALl we do is make notes on the office and fawty towers but it's great aha.
Well, in our school, the top set of the English GCSE get to do a bonus 8 month course of Media Studies. We've been studying the Music Industry and Comics.
We're doing sitcoms.
We studied the office, my family, friends and phoenix nights cos you have to do a conventional piece against a none conventional piece so we did two of both in case they came up.
I think friends stands a good chance of coming up.
I think there may be something about how women are represented (now & before) in the house hold etc and perhaps give some examples...Quote:

Cultral Diversity maybe...
And something to do with target audiences???
I'm not sure.
I did Media at school but not sitcoms :D
We just watched TV every lesson i was great
I'm also doing GCSE MS this year - I get the prerelease tommorow morning - does anyone want me to scan it / upload it, if your dying to have it 3 or 4 days early?
Sitcom is a kinda crappy topic, but it's been fun, I suppose.
So, now we've all got the exam, what do you think?!
And upon what lines are you going to go regarding the questions?
I'm actually sitting in media studies now "preparing my answers" - yeah, right.
Discuss! x]

I think it's quite straight forward however a lot of effort will need to be put in, in the exam and prior to it. I got reccomended to do 4 pages in the first three questions.Quote:
