Summer Project: coursework planning

  1) Research: TikTok videos You need to write a  150-word close-textual analysis  of  SIX  TikTok videos that will inform your production work. The TikTok videos you analyse are up to you but focus on a different aspect of media language for each one (see guidance below).   TikTok videos TikTok Video 1: Narrative How is narrative used in the TikTok video and what impact does this have on the audience?
