Getting Started


WJEC examiner Jonathan Nunns takes
you through the essential steps to
success.

Fifty percent. That’s how much this piece of
work contributes to your A Level grade. Now, I
can’t claim that this will be the funkiest, most
fun article you will ever read, but should you
happen to be an A2 Media student looking down
the business end of this particular task, then I’m
hoping that it might give you a bit of help.
To start with, here’s some context. The task has
three parts,
1. An investigative research essay – 1400-1800
words.
2. A production piece – up to four minutes of AV
or a minimum of three pages for a magazine or
website.
3. The inevitable evaluation – 500-750 words.
For you to do well, you will need to do lots
of work and preparation before you even start.
You will need to develop skills you may not
currently have and, above all, you will need to be
well-organised. It’s best not to be complacent
with this one. Near enough probably isn’t good
enough and lack of organization will show in a
ropey end product and a lousy grade.
