Many students study this subject to develop their understanding of a society dominated by mediated images and information. Some take it to develop their practical and creative skills, others combine it with other subjects to enter into vocational areas such as journalism, marketing, television and advertising. The subject combines a study of academic research about the media and a practical involvement in making media products. Therefore, you do need to be prepared to write essays about the media and to creatively develop original ideas in order to produce practical work. The course explores a wide range of media products including adverts, newspapers and music video. 50% of the AS course is practical and therefore requires you to be creative and develop your IT skills. Teamwork, problem solving, working to deadlines, communication and IT skills will all be developed through the study of media forms and practical production work. You will complete one coursework module and one examined module. The exam at the end of the year is two hours and tests your ability to write academic essays under timed conditions.
