This is an exciting course with the intent to develop media-literate students who can critique the media that they encounter on a daily basis. We interrogate the structure and creation of media products, how products are crafted to create meaning, representational issues around stereotyping, and consider how media industries influence and control audience responses. Students will also take a creative element during the course where they respond to a brief through an NEA production. The course pairs well with English, History, Sociology, Psychology, Politics, Photography, and Business and would benefit any student who is interested in media production. What will I study on the course: Component 1: Breadth of Media Products Component 2: Depth of Media Products Component 3: Cross Media Production
Students who wish to study three A levels must achieve a minimum of: Six GCSE’s at grade 6 or above; and GCSE Mathematics and GCSE English (Language or Literature) at grade 5 or above Students must achieve a grade 6 in English. Although not essential, GCSE Media would benefit students starting this course.
Component 1: Breadth of Media Products Students study a wide range of Media platforms that cover the whole of the Media Theoretical Framework (Media Language, Representation, Audience, Industries, and Contexts). Component 2: Depth of Media Products (Now that students have the basics of the subject, they explore products in depth and apply current criticisms and theories to each product) Component 3: Cross Media Production: Coursework: 60 marks. 30% of qualification
