A Level Media Studies

UPDATED 20160429 08:54:01

Why study Media? Given the Media saturated world in which we live you may well ask if you can really afford NOT to consider studying the media. However, despite a common misconception, the subject is what it says - it is the STUDY of media and it is certainly not merely watching the television. You should already have a genuine interest in a range of media and the course should enhance your enjoyment and appreciation of the media and its role in your daily life. What's on the course? In the first year you will study the representation of women, men, age, ethnicity, nationality, issues and events in a range of media. You will also develop an understanding of how and why audiences respond differently to certain texts. The focus is on contemporary representation but there will be some historical contextualisation. You will also be taught how to critically analyse a wide range of media texts such as television programmes, films, advertisements, web sites, magazines and newspapers. In year two you will study three specific texts from three different media industries
