Here is the Eduqas factsheet for Spectre. This is for Section A and Section B. Remember: Section B is Industry ONLY.

The website the exam board want you to study is :

http://www.007.com/spectre/

This has changed since we studied it in class!!! It did have loads of good website features, like a 360 degree camera of Q's Workshop with loads and loads of product placement. It had links to all the characters and a lot of information on intertextuality.

It used to look like this:

Now it links to an old announcement from 2015.

This is very hard for you as it is difficult to analyse. The new website focuses on news posts really. This is probably because they are in the process of making another film. There is a nice graphic when you click on the tab with the Bonds and it is worth looking through all of these. There is no where near the same amount of information on Spectre itself as their was before though.

It is worth mentioning this change in the exam if Spectre comes up in Section B. You are studying this for industries only. The exam boards says:

"Learners may study Spectre only in the context of a cross media study which explores the convergence of media platforms and technologies and in the context of the study of media industries"

All websites are "evolving media" so likely to change. The Taylor Swift website (for Comp 2 Sec B) has also changed since we looked at it in class. As long as you are clear in your essay this will not be a problem.

Industry questions are about regulation, production, distribution and how the industry MAKE MONEY. Always think about this as a money making venture.

Here is a link to the BBFC (who regulate films) and their Spectre Case Study:

OFCOM regulate the Spectre website:

https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ofcom

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/

So, if someone has a complaint, they go to Ofcom and check the code and see if Spectre have broken it.

Here is a fan site for Spectre. It has A LOT of great information and statistics:
