| Media Studies (GCSE) | |||
| Intent | Media Studies takes a dynamic, modern look at the powerful world of media around us. The course develops a well-rounded knowledge and understanding of four main areas of media theory and prominent theorists: language, industry, audience, representation. In analysing the media, our learners will demonstrate skills of enquiry, critical thinking and analysis; analyse and compare how media products construct and communicate meaning and generate intended interpretations and responses; respond through discursive writing to show knowledge and understanding of media issues; use subject-specific terminology appropriately. In creating a media production, learners will also: develop practical and decision-making skills; apply knowledge and understanding of media language and representation to a media production; use media language to express and communicate meaning to an intended audience. | ||
