Who would be interested in this course?Students who have previously succeeded in earning 10 credits in Level 1 English. However this could be discussed with the Teacher in Charge.
Media Studies is for students interested in film, television and social media. Students watch a range of movies and television, consider media in society, and create a media product to tell their own stories.
Throughout the year, students will explore how stories are constructed in television, study a genre in depth, create their own production plan and then shoot, edit and produce their own short film. Assessments are both internal and external, as well as practical and written.
Media Studies can lead to careers in television and film, social media and content creation, advertising, marketing, publishing, writing, journalism, academia and public relations.
