The way we see the world is shaped by the media that we consume, and it impacts all aspects of life, from our mental health to our political beliefs, our opinions and even our identity. By studying the Media, you will look behind the curtain and be able to appreciate the techniques used to communicate ideas in Media texts - Ideas that can be interesting and educational at best, and extremely harmful at worst.
WHAT YOU WILL STUDY
WHAT YOU WILL STUDY
The course will allow you to explore a range of Media Products, including television, advertising, magazines, newspapers, video games, music videos, websites and social media. You will learn how to analyse these products in order to understand how they appeal to particular audiences, and how they might influence, or be influenced by, those audiences.
You will also explore how a range of Media Industries operate - their ownership, structure and influence on the products they create. In Year 13 you will complete an NEA production, which features a changing set of briefs each year. You will learn and develop practical production skills such as cinematography, photography and editing. There is usually a wide range of options in the briefs and so you will have a lot of choice in what you create.
Overall, students love that the subject is relevant, up to date and something that they see in practice every single day. It allows you to look at the world in a new way and appreciate how we communicate and shape our ideas about the world
