Media/Film/Tv Studies

Course summary

The Media Studies A-level course is designed to encourage candidates to: • Enhance their enjoyment and appreciation of the media and its role in their daily lives; • Develop critical understanding of the media through engagement with media products and concepts and through the creative application of production skills; • Explore production processes, technologies and other relevant contexts; • Become independent in research skills and their application in their production work and in developing their own views and interpretations; • Media Studies include 30% coursework. It is therefore an attractive option for girls who prefer to be assessed on coursework rather than solely by examination.
