In the AS we look at a range of media forms. We analyse the way these are constructed, how they engage audiences and represent social ideas and beliefs. The focus this year will be on magazines, the music industry and television drama. You will undertake coursework which will include the preparation of magazine covers and pages and will require you to acquire skills in desk top publishing and digital photography. There will be one end of year exam that assesses your understanding of modules on the music industry and television drama. In the A2 year coursework continues and will include the production of a music video, a dvd digipak and a print advert. The A2 course will also include a module on youth and collective identity. This course will provide you with enhanced analytical and research skills and a better understanding of the media saturated society we live in.
