Media/Film/Tv Studies

Assessment

Our exam board for Media Studies is AQA, we operate under their Level program in which we spend the first year studying the 9 formats of Media products, we use the framework of industry and audience to break them down and then we apply our theoretical knowledge to them to better understand the how and why they are made. This theory research is used across both years. At the end of year one you will sit 2 Mock Exams based on the theories and products we have covered, and this will become your progressive grade. Year 2 will begin with your Non-Exam Assessed coursework in which we will create a media product of our own! We will receive a brief from AQA outlining what we need to include and then we apply our new theory knowledge and make some very interesting and fun products designed to follow the industry framework and test our ability! Your NEA project covers 40% of your Total Grade for the 2 years. Then at the end of Year 2, 2 Externally set exams will constitute 60% of your overall grade.
