So my first attempt of an essay question dint go too well. the exam question was 'cross media convergence and synergy are a vital process on the successful marketing of media products to audience. The two films i chose to write about were Straight Outta Compton and Avengers, i choose these two films because i had done a power point on Straight Outta Compton already so i had a head start on their producing background and i chose to do avengers because they had a lot of synergy in the making of their film as they had lots of merchandise and advertised it a lot, for example they had made pizza boxes and popcorn bags with marvel comic strips on them, this, i felt would have made a good essay, how ever i did struggle with it.
The feed back i got from my teacher was 'good- you just need to do more work researching your case studies' and ' you can write - but if you have nothing to write about then ...'
This helped me understand that i am babbling and 'beating round the bush' i discovered i need to get straight to the point and use more key terms instead of avoiding them and trying to explain each word.
For my first essay i got a total of 16/50 this was disappointing but now i know what i need to improve on, i will take that on board and hopefully do better next time.
