Course Description

Content:
Media Studies students will develop their range of e-learning tools. You will plan and present work on a range of different media platforms or programmes. Developing your 21st century skills of collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity will underpin all learning activities. Internal assessment opportunities include the option to write either a screenplay or a film review for a target audience; or to investigate how the media represents people or an issue, place or event. The genre study (external examination) will be co-constructed with your teacher. Film genres may include; The Hollywood Musical film genre, Dystopian/Science Fiction film genre or another film genre. From your genre study, you will plan and create either a music video or present the opening sequence of a genre-specific film. Formative activities in film and sound work, editing and writing will form part of the course for students to develop skills for their production work, and to support their wider learning needs and career aspirations.

Skills:
• Students will develop their critical thinking skills as they reflect and refine their production work. Also, they will develop analytical skills through their written and oral presentations
• Practical hands-on experience in planning, constructing and presenting a media product for a particular audience
