Media Studies

Course summary

Digital and Media skills are among the most desirable qualities you can have in the modern world. In almost any career one is likely to benefit from being able to decode and produce multimedia content (images, video and audio) in order to be effective. Media at Dunraven teaches those skills. Students will become fluent media writers and will use a vast range of subject specific language in order to become critical thinkers in relation to media texts. Students will also learn and apply a range of technical skills including pre-production, production and post-production across a range of media forms. Media Studies is ideal for any student who is passionate about critically analysing the impact media products have on society alongside creating their own media products. Students should consume a range of media texts across different sectors (audio/moving image, print and interactive) and be able to discuss their appeal.
