What the college says

You will be required to sit two examination components and one non-examination assessment that cover the key theoretical frameworks and a variety of media forms. Learners study a range of media forms – advertising and marketing, film, magazines, music video, newspapers, online media, radio, television and video games. A range of media products are examined, all of which contain social, cultural and historical significance and illustrate a range of genres, styles and forms. Students will explore ideas about audience categorisation and reflect critically on different industry contexts, including those outside the commercial mainstream aimed at, or produced by, minority groups reflecting contemporary and emerging developments in the media. This provides rich opportunities for analysis and application of the theoretical framework.
