Media/Film/Tv Studies

Course summary

Media studies discusses the political, historical, social and economic contexts of a wide range of media industries including newspapers, TV, film, music, magazines, online and gaming. It involves close analysis of print and audio-visual texts through which you will develop your understanding of how they are constructed to create meaning and appeal to their target audience, as well as their ability to reflect the discourse of wider culture. This analysis is underpinned by the theoretical framework of media language, representation, industry and audience and their associated theorists.
