A Level Media

Course summary

Media is a modern, exciting, and innovative course that addresses social issues. Your A Level course will combine your theoretical knowledge with your practical skills. Also, you will be encouraged to challenge and explore the ways in which media texts have been produced, circulated, consumed, and interpreted. In addition to this, you will be required to conduct independent research to solidify your learning. There are three components to your Media A Level; component one is media products, industries, and audiences - during which you will learn to analyse media language and representation in relation to advertising, marketing, music videos, and newspapers. You will investigate and develop an understanding of media industries and audiences, and how they relate symbiotically.
