Why should I follow this course? Studying the media means you will start to formulate your own responses to the range of media, old and new, that saturate modern life. You will also be encouraged to develop your opinions on how the media represents the world. The contemporary media landscape and its changing contexts will be studied in terms of products, platforms and technologies. Recent practical coursework has been very impressive. Production tasks involve creating electronic press kits for new bands, opening sequences to reality TV shows and a range of print products. A2 builds on the AS work and looks more fully at the contexts of media production and consumption, as well as looking at media debates and theories. You will be encouraged to demonstrate, develop and formulate your understanding of the media and its influential role in today's society as well as debating major contemporary media issues. The course involves a focused exploration of the developing role of new media technologies such as social networking, online broadcasting and other digital platforms. You will also look at the representation of different social groups across the multi-platform media landscape. What will I learn?
