The Media becomes more powerful every day. To a large extent, it controls our culture and even our opinions and beliefs. This is why the study of the Media has grown in importance over recent years. We need to adopt a more critical approach to the Media if we are not to be increasingly manipulated. Media Studies seeks to increase your critical awareness, to offer an analytical and practical approach to an understanding of the effects of the Media on our modern world.
It is not necessary to have studied Media at GCSE Level. However, to have done so will obviously prove to be advantageous. At the very least, you should have a genuine interest in the Media, especially in film and television genres and the development of your own technical skills. It is expected that you watch and read a variety of media and have an interest in creating your own media products. There is room to excel for both the creative and the technically minded.
