Media studies will allow you to explore the different aspects of one of the world’s largest industries. No matter what career you choose, you will almost certainly become involved with media issues and contexts to a greater or lesser extent. In this course you will learn how to create various media texts and evaluate how they impact people around you. This course is ideal for students with a sound ability in English (preferably an English GCSE at a 9 to 4 grade) and who enjoys working with practically based assignments towards different client briefs. Do you consider yourself creative or can you imagine yourself working on a film set or in a design or music studio in the future? If you like to learn and work with different technologies and if you are open to working as a part of a team then this course is made for you.
Four 9-5 grades at GCSE with a minimum of a numerical grade 4 in English Language although a grade 5 is recommended. 1 equivalence to a GCSE subject is permissible.
We are offering the course in two strands this year. Our double award is equivalent to 2 A-Levels and is designed to give you a technical understanding of film and television production. Our triple award is equivalent to 3 A-Levels and provides learners with a wide overview of all media industries. You will gain knowledge and skills in areas such as single- and multi-camera techniques, lighting, sound recording and editing to produce practical film and television projects. The qualification is for post-16 learners and is intended as a two-year programme of study, normally in conjunction with one or more qualifications at Level 3. It is aimed at students looking to progress to employment in this sector. During your lessons there is a high expectation of attendance and punctuality, and that deadlines are kept throughout the course. A number of media studies trips are also planned throughout the year to places such as the SKY Academy, BBC studios, BBFC and the museum of advertising and branding. As a media student you will have the option to plan and complete a work experience placement in the media industry. Previous placements have led students to summer work and contacts for the future in their chosen field.
