Media/Film/Tv Studies

Course summary

Year 12 Media Studies engages students in the in-depth study of media products in relation to the four areas of the theoretical framework. Students are required to study media products from all of the following media forms: • Audio-visual forms (TV, film, radio, advertising and marketing, video games and music video). • Online forms (social and participatory media, video games, music video, newspapers, magazines, advertising and marketing). • Print forms (newspapers, magazines, advertising and marketing). Non-exam Assessment (NEA) Students will produce half of the NEA in Year 12; with the other half completed in Year 13. The submission of this project is in Year 13. To complete the NEA, students must independently create a statement of intent and a media product in response to a brief set by AQA. Year 13 – Paper One and Paper Two Questions will focus on issues and debates in the media. A close-study product booklet will be released in advance of the exam. Students will be expected to use any relevant elements of the theoretical framework in order to explore the ideas in the paper.
