What the college says

This is a course for anyone who enjoys media and is interested in not only how to make media products, but also why they are made and the effects they can have on us. This new linear course covers a wide range of content, from comparing Netflix’s Stranger Things to the Danish crime-thriller The Killing to understanding the power and responsibility of the press. A good GCSE English grade will help with you essay writing but creative subjects like Art or large projects like Drama or ICT will also prepare you for the level of independent work. By the end of the course you will improve your analytical essay skills and gain experience of working and practising with editing software and filming techniques
