What the college says

This subject offers the opportunity to explore all aspects of contemporary Media: how media products are created and who makes them how they are used and consumed by audiences how media represents the world around us and what impact and influence that might have. Through a variety of approaches candidates are able to develop their enjoyment and critical understanding of a range of media texts and those who produce them. The core areas of study involve demonstrating knowledge and understanding of media concepts contexts and critical debates and then being able to apply that knowledge when analysing media products. Finally with this understanding students can go on to produce their own media products using appropriate technical and creative skills. Students leave us skilled in all aspects of production; a real advantage when applying for University or Apprenticeships. The Eduqas A Level media course consists of a range of set texts which are studied across the theoretical framework: Media Language Media Audiences Media Representations and Media Industries. We have links to a range of Media and Film organisations in the area and regularly enter students for Film festivals. Students have had their work featured on DVD compilations and recent projects have won national competitions.
