Media Studies

Assessment

Assessment is in the form of two examinations and a practical production weighted at 70% examination and 30% production. The examinations cover a broad range of areas for which you complete in-depth studies of products and industries across the media. Non-Examined Assessment: This is the practical production where you get to demonstrate what you have learned by designing and creating two productions – on different platforms (print, e-media or moving image). You complete research, pre-production and then two linked production pieces. For this, you work to a brief but is varied enough to give you a broad range of options that you can tailor to your strengths and interests. Therefore, we encourage you to interpret this in ways that will give you a good degree of freedom to be creative and adventurous.
