Media Studies encourages you to think critically about the messages you receive daily from the mass media. You will need to be prepared to tackle difficult theoretical issues, read up on current media issues and debates, produce quality practical coursework and write coherent and analytical essays. The syllabus covers television, newspapers, magazines, new media, radio and advertising. In their coursework, students can extend these areas to include film advertising and the music industry if they wish. We spend time looking at media institutions (Who owns the companies and how they are run), the ‘texts’ they produce, (such as newspapers, tv programmes, websites etc) and the audiences who watch or read them. This course may include the use of 18 certificate material.
4 in English Language.
1. Media Products, Industries and Audiences 2. Media Forms and Products in Depth 3. Cross Media Production Assessment: 70% examination, 30% coursework.
