Media/Film/Tv Studies

Assessment

There are two public examinations which account for 70% of the final A-Level Grade. The first paper includes analysis of unseen texts and the texts studied in Y12. Questions are a mix of essays and short answers. The second paper is made up of three extended essays, one for each of the topics covered in detail in Y13: ‘TV in the Golden Age’, ‘Magazines: Mainstream and Alternative Media’ and ‘Online Media.’ The other 30% is made up from your coursework submission, which represents a 3-4 minute digital film, a website and an ‘aims and intentions’ written submission.
