Qualification: AS/A Level WJEC

Duration: 1 / 2 years
An opportunity to combine an understanding of the mass media in society and methods for analyzing media texts (e.g. television programmes, films, advertising and the press) with the development of practical skills for media production in print and video.

At AS Level, students will study media texts TV, Advertising, Film, Games and the Internet the institutions that create them and the audiences that interact with them.
You will deconstruct texts, analyzing their Forms, Audiences and Representation. You will also produce media products that demonstrate an implicit understanding of the ideas we have covered. In A2 candidates will build on their AS studies to broaden that knowledge of Text and Industry in three different media areas and create a practical Media Production as part of a portfolio.
