Students will be required to: ● Understand the ‘theoretical framework’ that underpins the course; this consists of four elements – Media Language, Industries, Audiences and Representations. ● Apply the framework to a detailed study of a wide range of media texts prescribed by the examination board, as well as their wider social, political, and institutional contexts. ● Engage in a comparative critical analysis of media texts. ● Construct practical pieces of media according to a given brief (stipulated by the examination board).
Minimum of five GCSEs (or equivalent) with grades 4-9 (A*-C). This must include at least four full course GCSEs. Grade 5 or above in English language or literature. In addition, students who have studied media studies at GCSE level are required to have achieved at least a Grade 5.
The course is a linear course; students will be examined at the end of Year 13 to complete the full A-level qualification. The course is assessed via two examinations which make up 35% each of the final grade, plus one non-examined component, which accounts for the final 30% of the final grade.
