Media/Film/Tv Studies

Course summary

The media plays an important role in society today. We are surrounded by and constantly bombarded with messages about the world around us: what to think, what to buy, and who to like or dislike. The media even attempts to influence democratic processes such as how to vote. Most of our leisure time and money is spent consuming media products. A-level Media Studies offers students the opportunity to critically study a wide range of media forms and set products, as well as learn theoretical approaches to analyzing media texts and organizations. In the past, we have organized trips to Warner Brothers Studios in London as well as visits to other London destinations such as the British Film Institute.
