The course will be a two-year A-Level that incorporates both written and practical work. Coursework will remain as a Non-Examination assessment (NEA) and the exam will have more weight than before. The key areas that you will have to learn about include; Media Language, media audiences, media representations and media industries. Students will be asked to both create and analyse media products over the two-year course. Media Studies will introduce you to the world of TV, film, print, web media, and advertising; and will give you the conceptual framework you need to begin to analyse, understand and criticise them. You will also develop skills in various aspects of media production including digital image manipulation, camera work and digital editing.
