I have provided links to previous WJEC exam papers which might be useful for seeing how they are set out, the types of questions asked and areas of possible revision you should be undertaking.
Note that there are three questions which require an answer - a textual analysis (semiotics), representation and audience. However, do not just limit yourself to these three areas - in the exam you should be considering other aspects such as ideology (hegemony, plurialism etc.), the institutions which produce the media (companies, individuals etc.), the 'media language' (iconography, mise en scene, connotation etc), genre and narrative.
You might also want to consider the News Values sessions.
May 2012 paper - audio visual 'Drugs' documentary
Jan 2011 paper - audio visual 'Winter Olympics' news report
June 2010 paper - audio visual 'Three Adverts'
