Research Investigation Deadline

Hello A2 Media students.

This week I will be assessing the progress of your individual Media Investigations and giving you a grade on etracker

Therefore by Friday 11th November I will need to see the following:

1. The opening paragraph of your Media Investigation.

2. A plan for the structure of the whole Media Investigation

3. A list research sources (minimum 3) appropriately referenced and with a brief summary of what each consists of. 

Your chosen media texts should be on your blog. You can put items 1 - 3 on your blog (preferred option) or if you have insurmountable problems with this route, email me.

Thanks

Why Fan Theories are the future of TV

From the Guardian
"The theories that fans have come up with are becoming more of a talking point than the show itself. Is William actually Ed Harris’s Man in Black, but on an alternative timeline? Is the park’s apparently human employee Bernard actually a robot? Is Anthony Hopkins’ park owner, Robert Ford, also a robot or, if not, actually his long-deceased business partner Arnold? All have been asserted, revised and rebuked in forums on Reddit and beyond (heck, even on the Guardian)."
