YOU CAN'T BEAT BTEC!!!

YOU CAN'T BEAT BTEC!!!
SUCCESS

MESSAGE TO YEAR 11 2012 FROM MRS MILLER

HELLO YEAR 11!!!

I know I don't say it very often, but I am really proud of the effort you have been putting since I came back. I know it has taken some longer than others to get going but I think you are all finally getting there and we should see some fantastic folders at the end of it. I would ideally like to have a party for our class in the last week, so we can finally chill out and enjoy one another's company before your imminent exams. However I can't really do this if everyone still has to catch up! So please, please, please for your own sake get everything completed over Easter. If you don't then we have problems. You should be spending the last 3 weeks improving our work to ensure you get a pass, merit or distinction.

The first thing you need to do, before you start any work is the following:

1. Every time you finish a piece of work you MUST print it off!
2. Go through each assignment brief and tick off what you have done.
3. Begin completing your tasks. Do one at a time until it has been completed.
4. Once completed print if off and put in folder.
5. Now cross it off the list on the assignment brief.

Once all tasks have been completed go through every booklet and make sure everything has been filled in correctly. Because there are lots of gaps in the booklets!

You have exactly 9 hours left with me, you'll be pleased to hear.

I am sorry if at times I appear to be harsh, but please remember all I want for you is the very best and for you to leave college with some fantastic qualifications behind you. Although most of you are ready to leave now, try and enjoy your last few weeks.

You are old enough now to know you need to work until the coursework is done, as hard as it may be for some of you, you are all very capable to do this and do it well!

If you need to contact me....then you can email me!

Remember you can do it!

Unit 2 - Research

Primary research


  • An explanation of the types of children's/teen's programmes that we watched and why? These included, a number of different programmes. If you can't remember then you need to watch at least 5 childrens/teen programmes and explain what types of things were featured in the programmes? Why did we look at them?

  • A PowerPoint about your own children's programme idea! If you worked in a group and don't have a copy - GET ONE PRINTED OFF!

  • A questionnaire with at least 10 different question types based on your programme idea/PowerPoint. This is aimed at a focus group, of adults with children who your programme is aimed at. Print off 5 copies of this, they must be completed by the parents of your target market. Now analyse the questionnaire, go through each question. E.g. Question 1 - 3 out of 5 parents said their children would watch this programme. This research tells me that my programme would be successful as it would gain an audience.

Secondary research


  • The commissioning process document. This is an explanation of what the commissioning process is...click on the following link for guidance on creating this document.
Quantitative research

  • Produce a graph with the ratings of at least 4 children's programmes. Analyse the data, and explain why you think one programme is more popular than the others. It is also important to write about why a programme has the least ratings? Think about the target market, the time of day it appears, merchandise, how long has it been going? etc...
  • With regards to the quantitative research on kids TV, you need to click on the following link and follow the instructions - READ THE ARTICLE IN FULL BEFORE YOU ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS! It is easy enough to understand, you just need to get on with it!


Qualitative research

  • Create a general questionnaire about the viewing habits, programme types, lifestyle of your target market. You need to write at least 10 questions. Print off 5 copies and get them completed by parents of your target market! Now analyse the responses. E.g. Question 1. 5 out of 5 parents said their children watched television between 4pm and 6pm in the evening. Therefore my programme would be aired at ......... on ............
Research

  • Create a document explaining what primary, secondary, qualitative and quantitative research means. You need to explain each one, write about the good and bad things about each (pro and con), then give an example of what you have done.
  • A mood board of different teen programmes, write down underneath the images the channel, time of day they are on, and what makes them successful - characters/setting/narrative/music etc...
