To succeed in Media Studies, develop the ability to critically analyse media texts such as films, TV shows, advertisements, and social media. Consider the techniques used, the intended audience, and the underlying messages being conveyed. Practice writing analytical responses that demonstrate your understanding of media theory and concepts. You can access practice questions via media-studies.com
If you have not undertaken GCSE media studies, we recommend also reviewing the GCSE section of the school media studies website.
