Media/Film/Tv Studies

Course summary

We will study a range of products and understand how they work; we will use the framework to disassemble TV shows and Films to better understand the how and why. And then we can use that research and knowledge to make some products of our own! Over the 2-year course we will look at a large range of activities, theories, and products before making our own based on briefs that set out the requirements for a TV show or a Video Game, maybe a Newspaper or an ad campaign. The briefs change every year so we will have new and fun opportunities to explore! Topics: We will be looking at 4 key areas of Theory, Being Developmental, Cultural, Industry, and Audience. We will then be looking at 9 Key areas of Media Products such as TV, Film, Radio Broadcasts, Newspapers, Adverts, Websites, Video Games, Music Videos, and Magazines. During these we will look at the different ways they make them, distribute them, and how we are represented as both an audience and as people within the product. We will look at the way we are marketed too and the way we create our own product every time we interact with a community or fan event.
