Media

Top skills; Communicating, Collaborating, Critical Thinking

Our Media courses are designed to help our pupils understand the central role of the media in our society, encouraging them to consider some of the broader issues surrounding film, TV, newspapers, magazines, computer games and ‘new’ media.

We also deliver a detailed focus on specific media products. Pupils are challenged to deconstruct films, TV programmes, internet content and advertising in order to reveal the key messages contained in our everyday Media. Our department primarily focuses on film media but each of our classes covers a wide range of texts.

Furthermore, a fundamental element of our work is the making of Media: film trailers, music videos, storyboarding and posters. We develop our students’ understanding of how to research products and then successfully take their ideas from planning through to production.
