The exam part of the course involves looking critically at a range of media forms from music videos to games, films to magazine adverts. You will analyse the way they are constructed, engage audiences and represent social ideas and beliefs. One focus will be on the representation of social groups, issues and events. Previous case studies have included: the cult of celebrity, the London riots and teen delinquency. You will undertake practical and creative coursework which may include the production of a script and the marketing materials for a teen horror film and will develop your skills in design, desk top publishing and digital photography. There will be one end of year exam that assesses your understanding of textual analysis, representation and audience theories.
