Media/Film/Tv Studies

Assessment

Through studying Media Studies students will view, evaluate, and analyze a variety of media products, and develop practical skills spanning a range of media forms. Underpinning these skills are the 4 aspects of Media that make up the Theoretical Framework; Media Language, Audience, Representation, and Industries. The course will feature two written exams that cover a range of media texts, concepts, and theories (70%). As well as the exams, there is a Non-exam Assessment where students must respond to a brief and create a range of Practical Media Productions (30%). The NEA allows students to flex their creative muscles and research, plan, and create their own media pieces. In the past, students have created some outstanding original pieces such as movie trailers, adverts, websites, and magazines. We use the latest technology such as Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, white and green screens, and HD cameras to produce practical Media pieces that reflect the creativity, passion, and ability of our students.
