AThe WJEC Eduqas specification offers pupils the opportunity to develop a thorough and in depth understanding of key issues within the media, using a comprehensive theoretical framework and a variety of advanced theoretical approaches and theories to support critical exploration and reflection, analysis and debate. The study of a wide range of rich and stimulating media products is central to the specification, offering opportunities for detailed analysis of how the media communicate meanings in a variety of forms. Pupils will work from the product outwards to debate key critical questions related to the social. cultural, political and economic role of the media. This specification also recognises the fundamental relationship between theoretical understanding and practical work, providing pupils with exciting opportunities to develop media production skills in different forms, apply their knowledge and understanding of the theoretical framework to media forms and products, and become creators of meaning themselves.
The Media play a central role in contemporary culture, society and politics. They shape our perceptions of the world through the representations, ideas and points of view they offer. The media have real relevance and importance in our lives today, providing us with ways to communicate, with forms of cultural expression and the ability to participate in key aspects of society. Pupils study a range of media forms in terms of a theoretical framework which consists of media language, representation, media industries and audiences. The following forms are studied in depth through applying all areas of the framework: newspapers, magazines, television, online, social and participatory media, advertising and marketing, film, music video, radio and video games. Learning about the media involves both exploring and making media products and these two activities are fundamentally related in this course. Pupils will have opportunities to develop their practical and creative skills in filmmaking, web and print design, in response to a choice of briefs set by WJEC.
