Course summary

Media Studies is an exciting and challenging course designed to give learners an insight into the media industry, whilst building strong analytical and creative skills. Initially learners will develop their analysis by applying media theory to set products chosen by Eduqas. This will involve deconstructing products using media language in a methodical way, whilst considering their intended audience and areas of representation. Learners will also be required to construct an individual cross media production. This is essentially two linked media products chosen from a range of genres including: TV or Radio sequence, print based marketing, magazine, music video, and website.
