Year 9 Media explores how codes and conventions of genre, from romantic comedy to sci-fi, communicate meaning to audiences across media forms. Students learn to analyse character and story construction through studying generic conventions of film and TV. As well as studying film theory, students become media makers themselves and produce a genre film poster and a short film. Media allows students to develop and extend their analysis skills and their critical and creative thinking.
