In Year 12 students will be introduced to the framework within which they will examine a range of media products across the course: Media Language, Representation, Audience and Industry. These four pillars of the course will underpin all the learning which students will undertake in both Y12 and Y13. At the start of the year, students will look at how social and historical contexts influence a broad range of media products; all of this knowledge will be useful as they are introduced to their set media products. As students discover the generic conventions of different forms of media, they will start to examine how these are used to target different audiences. They will also examine the industries to which different texts belong. All of the knowledge which is discovered and build upon in the first five half-terms will be used when students complete their NEA at the end of Year 12. In this NEA they will have to produce a media product to a brief which the exam board will set and this will enable they to apply the skills which they have developed over the course of the year.
