Content

  • Study of Film and Music Video

    Blocks 7 and 8 should be viewed prior to starting Block 9.

    This is Block 9 of Media Studies, which focuses on a range of media texts, both print and digital. We will look at their history and development including advances in technology and changes in the social roles of individuals and groups in society reflecting on the influences that have shaped media as it is today. So far, we have studied newspapers and magazines, television programmes and radio programmes over six blocks. We learned about their history, how meaning is conveyed by media texts, their production values and the roles of those involved in media.

  • In Blocks 7 and 8, we began our film study, looking at how a film is studied and analysed, including the subject terminology used and the production values involved. The film we are studying is “Back to the Future”. You do not need to have done Blocks 1 to 6 but should do Blocks 7 and 8 before starting this one.

    We will complete the film study during this block and then move on to music video, which uses many similar cinematographic techniques to films, but has its own specific considerations too.

    Course Objectives:

    To learn about media history, how meaning is conveyed by media texts, their production values and the roles of those involved in media relating specifically to films and videos.

There are no words I can say to describe just how incredible it is to have amazing teachers at our fingertips to teach my daughter (and all the other kids here).

“The way you’ve structured The £2 Tuition Hub clearly comes from a deep and personal understanding of what anxious/ND children and young people need in order to be able to engage with and enjoy their learning. I’d honestly be lost without your work, so big thanks to you and the rest of your team. ”

“....The Enterprising minds course has helped her to be able to do a business plan and her accounts. I/ we just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to all in the hub. When we started HE 2 years ago we were thrown in it and wasn't sure that we would manage it. But the help all the Teachers have provided via the hub has really made this unfamiliar journey not only bearable, but enjoyable. ”
