Students at A2 level look at WHY the media produce certain texts and explore current debates around issues like size zero, video gaming, social networking, ‘hoodies’ and perception of youth. They are required to produce two case studies (this year topics are Identity and the Impact of New media) which will then be used to answer questions in the exam. In addition to this students produce a critical investigation on a media subject of their choice – this year titles have included; Audience and the horror genre, the depiction of the war in media texts and why has the film industry felt it necessary to produce remakes of classic films? And a linked production which will take the form of a film trailer, magazine feature or website. Please refer to the Sixth Form Prospectus on our website for further details about this course.
