This guide explains the Cambridge IGCSE Media Studies (0947) syllabus in clear, practical terms. It covers the core concepts, assessment structure, coursework requirements, and the study strategies that help you perform well in both the exam and the production component.
本指南以清晰实用的方式解析剑桥 IGCSE 媒体研究（0947）课程大纲。内容涵盖核心概念、评估结构、课程作业要求，以及帮助你在考试和制作环节取得好成绩的学习策略。
1. Course Overview and Aims | 课程概述与目标
Cambridge IGCSE Media Studies is a two-year course that develops your ability to analyse media texts critically and to create media products using technical and creative skills. The course focuses on meaning-making, audience response, and the industrial contexts in which media operate.
剑桥 IGCSE 媒体研究是一门两年制课程，旨在培养你批判性分析媒体文本的能力，以及使用技术和创意技能制作媒体产品的能力。课程重点包括意义建构、受众反应以及媒体运作的产业背景。
The syllabus balances textual analysis with practical production. You will learn to deconstruct print, audio-visual, and online media texts, and you will also plan, produce, and evaluate an original media product.
该大纲兼顾文本分析与实践制作。你将学习解构印刷、视听和在线媒体文本，同时也会策划、制作并评估一个原创媒体产品。
If you are preparing for first assessment in 2024 or later, make sure you are using the 0947 syllabus rather than the legacy 9607 specification. The current syllabus places greater emphasis on applying concepts to unseen media texts and to your own production work.
如果你参加 2024 年及以后的首次考试，请确认使用的是 0947 大纲，而不是旧版 9607 大纲。现行大纲更加强调将概念应用于未见过的媒体文本以及你自己的制作作品中。
2. Core Concept: Media Language | 核心概念：媒体语言
Media language refers to the codes and conventions used to communicate meaning in a media text. You need to identify technical codes, symbolic codes, and written codes, and explain how they work together to create a particular message.
媒体语言是指媒体文本中用来传达意义的符码和惯例。你需要识别技术符码、象征符码和书写符码，并解释它们如何共同作用以构建特定信息。
Technical codes include camera shots, angles, movement, editing, lighting, sound, and mise-en-scène. For example, a low-angle shot can make a character appear powerful, while non-diegetic music can create tension or emotional atmosphere.
技术符码包括镜头景别、角度、运动、剪辑、灯光、声音和场面调度。例如，仰拍镜头可以让角色显得强势，而非叙事音乐可以营造紧张感或情绪氛围。
Symbolic codes include colour, body language, costume, setting, and objects that carry cultural meaning. Written codes include headlines, captions, slogans, typography, and narrative text. A strong response always links the code to its effect rather than simply labelling it.
象征符码包括色彩、肢体语言、服装、场景以及带有文化意义的物品。书写符码包括标题、说明文字、口号、字体排印和叙事文本。优秀的答案总是将符码与其效果联系起来，而不是仅仅贴标签。
3. Core Concept: Representation | 核心概念：表征
Representation is the process by which media texts construct versions of people, places, events, and ideas. It is never a neutral mirror: producers select and arrange elements to create a particular viewpoint.
表征是媒体文本构建人物、地点、事件和观念版本的过程。它从来不是中立的镜子：制作者通过选择和安排元素来创造特定视角。
You should be able to discuss stereotypes, countertypes, ideology, and the contexts that shape representation. A stereotype is a simplified and repeated image of a social group, while a countertype reverses or challenges conventional expectations.
你应该能够讨论刻板印象、反刻板印象、意识形态以及塑造表征的语境。刻板印象是对某一社会群体简化且重复呈现的形象，而反刻板印象则反转或挑战传统预期。
When analysing representation, consider whose perspective is shown and whose is omitted. Think about how camera framing, editing, sound, and mise-en-scène position the audience to view a person or group in a particular way.
分析表征时，要考虑呈现的是谁的视角，忽略了谁的视角。思考镜头构图、剪辑、声音和场面调度如何引导受众以特定方式看待某个人物或群体。
4. Core Concept: Audience | 核心概念：受众
Media producers target specific audiences using demographic and psychographic categories. Demographics include age, gender, income, education, and occupation, while psychographics consider values, interests, attitudes, and lifestyle.
媒体制作者使用人口统计和心理统计类别来瞄准特定受众。人口统计包括年龄、性别、收入、教育和职业，而心理统计则考虑价值观、兴趣、态度和生活方式。
Uses and gratifications theory helps explain why audiences consume media: for information, personal identity, social interaction, and entertainment. You must be able to link these gratifications to specific features of a media text.
使用与满足理论有助于解释受众为什么消费媒体：为了信息、个人身份认同、社会互动和娱乐。你必须能够将这些满足需求与媒体文本的具体特征联系起来。
Audience responses vary depending on factors such as age, gender, cultural background, and personal experience. A strong answer considers both the preferred reading offered by the text and alternative or oppositional readings that different audiences might make.
受众反应因年龄、性别、文化背景和个人经验等因素而异。优秀答案既考虑文本提供的偏好式解读，也考虑不同受众可能作出的协商式或对抗式解读。
5. Core Concept: Institutions | 核心概念：机构
Media institutions are the organisations that produce, distribute, and regulate media content. They include public service broadcasters, commercial companies, independent producers, and large conglomerates.
媒体机构是制作、发行和监管媒体内容的组织。它们包括公共服务广播公司、商业公司、独立制作公司以及大型跨行业集团。
You need to understand how ownership, funding, and regulation influence the production and content of media texts. For example, a publicly funded broadcaster may have a remit to educate and inform, while a commercial broadcaster depends on advertising revenue.
你需要理解所有权、资金和监管如何影响媒体文本的生产与内容。例如，公共资助的广播机构可能有教育和服务公众的职责，而商业广播机构则依赖广告收入。
Digital convergence has transformed media institutions by bringing together production, distribution, and audience participation on the same platforms. This affects how texts reach audiences and how audiences can respond, share, and create content themselves.
数字融合改变了媒体机构，使生产、发行和受众参与集中在同一平台上。这影响了文本到达受众的方式，以及受众如何回应、分享和创作内容。
6. Assessment Structure at a Glance | 评估结构一览
The current Cambridge IGCSE Media Studies syllabus has two components: a written examination and a coursework production. Together they assess both your analytical understanding and your creative production skills.
现行剑桥 IGCSE 媒体研究大纲包含两个组成部分：笔试和课程作业制作。它们共同评估你的分析理解能力和创意制作能力。
| Component | Format | Marks | Weighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 1: Exploring Media | Written examination, 1 h 45 min | 70 | 60% |
| Component 2: Creating Media | Coursework, internally assessed and externally moderated | 60 | 40% |
You must complete both components to receive a final grade. Paper 1 is externally marked, while Component 2 is marked by your teacher and moderated by Cambridge.
你必须完成两个组成部分才能获得最终成绩。试卷一由外部评分，组成部分二由你的老师评分并由剑桥进行外部审核。
7. Paper 1: Question Formats and Command Words | 试卷一：题型与指令词
Paper 1 focuses on applying the four core concepts to unseen media texts. It is divided into sections that typically cover media language and representation, as well as audience and institution issues.
试卷一重点是将四个核心概念应用于未见过的媒体文本。试卷通常分为若干部分，涵盖媒体语言与表征，以及受众与机构议题。
Common command words include analyse, compare, explain, and evaluate. Analyse means break down the text and explain how its parts create meaning. Compare means identify similarities and differences, while evaluate requires you to make a judgement supported by reasons.
常见的指令词包括 analyse（分析）、compare（比较）、explain（解释）和 evaluate（评价）。分析是指拆解文本并解释其各部分如何创造意义；比较是指找出相似点和不同点；评价则要求你在理由支持下作出判断。
Always structure your responses around the question focus. If the question asks about representation, do not write a general description of camera shots without linking them to how a person or group is represented.
始终围绕题目重点组织答案。如果题目问的是表征，不要只泛泛描述镜头，而不将它们与人物或群体如何被表征联系起来。
8. Component 2: Creating Media Coursework | 组成部分二：媒体创作课程作业
For Component 2, you respond to a brief set by Cambridge. You plan, produce, and evaluate an original media product in a chosen form, such as moving image, audio, print, or online content.
在组成部分二中，你需要回应剑桥设定的任务简报。你选择一种形式，如动态影像、音频、印刷或在线内容，来策划、制作并评估一个原创媒体产品。
A concise supporting statement accompanies your product. This statement explains your aims, target audience, use of media language, representation choices, and institutional context. It shows that your production decisions were deliberate rather than accidental.
产品需要附上一份简明的支持说明。该说明解释你的目标、目标受众、媒体语言的运用、表征选择以及机构背景。它表明你的制作决策是有意为之，而不是偶然的。
Your coursework should demonstrate technical control and creative judgement. Pay close attention to planning documents, drafts, and evidence of development, because examiners value process as well as the finished product.
你的课程作业应展示技术掌控力和创意判断力。要重视计划文档、草稿和制作过程的证据，因为考官重视过程，也重视成品。
9. Marking Criteria and Assessment Objectives | 评分标准与评估目标
The syllabus is marked using assessment objectives that describe the skills you need to demonstrate. AO1 tests knowledge and understanding of media concepts and contexts, while AO2 tests application and analysis of media texts and issues.
该大纲使用评估目标来评分，这些目标描述你需要展示的技能。AO1 考查对媒体概念和背景的知识与理解，AO2 考查对媒体文本和议题的应用与分析。
AO3 focuses on your ability to plan and construct media products using technical and creative skills. AO4 focuses on evaluation, including your ability to reflect on your own production work and the work of others.
AO3 重点是你运用技术和创意技能策划并构建媒体产品的能力。AO4 重点是评价能力，包括反思自己和他人的制作作品的能力。
Paper 1 mainly assesses AO1 and AO2, while Component 2 primarily assesses AO3 and AO4. Knowing which objective is being tested helps you understand what the examiner wants from each answer.
试卷一主要评估 AO1 和 AO2，而组成部分二主要评估 AO3 和 AO4。了解考查的是哪个评估目标，有助于你理解考官希望从每道题目中获得什么。
10. Revision Strategies for Media Studies | 媒体研究复习策略
Build a bank of media terms and apply them to unseen texts regularly. Use flashcards, mind maps, and timed past-paper practice so that technical vocabulary becomes automatic.
建立一个媒体术语库，并经常将其应用到未见过的文本中。使用闪卡、思维导图和限时真题练习，让技术词汇成为自动化反应。
For every text you study, ask four questions: What codes are used? How are people represented? Who is the target audience? What institution produced it and why? This routine trains you to answer any unseen question with confidence.
对于你学习的每个文本，提出四个问题：使用了哪些符码？人物如何被表征？目标受众是谁？哪个机构制作了它，为什么？这一练习能训练你自信地应对任何未见过的题目。
Keep a production diary during your coursework. Record your decisions, problems, and revisions, because this material can be used in your supporting statement and helps you write a stronger evaluation.
在课程作业期间坚持记录制作日志。记录你的决策、问题和修改过程，因为这些材料可以用在你的支持说明中，并帮助你写出更有说服力的评价。
11. Common Mistakes to Avoid | 常见错误与避坑指南
One frequent error is describing media features without linking them to meaning. Do not simply state that a close-up is used; explain what the close-up makes the audience feel, notice, or understand.
一个常见错误是只描述媒体特征，却不将其与意义联系起来。不要只说明使用了特写镜头；要解释特写镜头让受众感受到、注意到或理解到什么。
Another mistake is ignoring the question focus, such as writing about audience when the question asks about representation. Underline the command word and the concept before you begin writing, and refer back to them in each paragraph.
另一个错误是忽视题目重点，例如题目问表征，你却写受众。在动笔前划出指令词和关键词，并在每个段落中反复回应它们。
Finally, avoid vague statements like “this text is effective”. Always support your judgement with specific evidence from the text, such as a particular camera angle, colour choice, or editing rhythm.
最后，避免使用“这个文本很有效”之类的空泛表述。始终用文本中的具体证据支持你的判断，例如某个镜头角度、色彩选择或剪辑节奏。
12. Final Preparation Checklist | 备考最终清单
In the final weeks before the exam, complete at least two full Paper 1 papers under timed conditions. Mark your answers using the mark scheme and identify which assessment objectives you need to strengthen.
在考试前的最后几周，至少完成两套完整的试卷一限时练习。根据评分方案批改答案，找出你需要加强的评估目标。
Prepare a one-page summary for each core concept: media language
