INVESTIGATING MEDIA This unit enables candidates to investigate the media by applying media concepts to a range of media products in order to reach an understanding of how meanings and responses are created. Students will investigate the contemporary media landscape and the changing contexts within which media texts are produced and consumed. AS UNIT 2: CREATING MEDIA (MEST 2) In this unit students produce two linked media artefacts taken from two of the three media platforms, with a single, accompanying evaluation and pre-production materials for both pieces. The pre-production materials, the production work and the evaluation should explicitly and implicitly demonstrate understanding of media concepts. Practical work covers a range of print, new-media and audio-visual outcomes. This unit is designed to support students' existing strengths and media interests but also offers appropriate challenge in new areas. Successful completion of this course will widen your future career prospects and employment opportunities within the media industry: work in TV production and presenting, advertising & marketing, journalism, film production, radio production, public relations & multi-media web design. It can also lead to Media & Communication degrees: Warwick, Southampton, Newcastle, Sheffield, East Anglia, Leeds & Leicester are ranked among the top 20 Universities for Media courses.
