Media Studies

Media Studies is an interesting, relevant and exciting area of study which explores the contemporary media landscape such as TV, music videos, film marketing, magazine publication, advertising and social media. Students will develop a critical awareness and understanding of the media, its role in moulding society and its messages and attitudes through the exploration of the products of media production processes, the institutions which produce them and the audiences which respond to them.

Courses offered

Enrichment

At Film Production Club students have the opportunity to plan, shoot and edit their own films. These can be anything from short films to music videos to stop-motion animations. Students are encouraged to transfer the skills they learn in the class to other areas of their study and life. Indeed, learning quite frequently takes place outside the classroom with various location shoots; the most exciting being a Media Studies trip to New York to participate in a film school workshop run by professionals in the city.
