Content

  • The Rise and Impact of Social Media

    This is a new topic for this block but it would benefit students to have covered previous blocks as this is the 12th and final block to complete the course.

    This is Block 12 of Media Studies, which focuses on a range of media texts, both print and digital. We have considered 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 to 9, we completed our film study, looking at how a film is studied and analysed, including the subject terminology used and the production values involved. We began the study of music video in Block 9 and completed this Block 10. Block 11 focused on animation, comics and cartoons and the use of AI in media texts.

    Students will have the opportunity to share their own knowledge and experience.

    There is no need to have completed previous blocks, but it will be helpful to have done so as subject terminology and media techniques will be referenced.

  • Course Objectives:

    To understand the impact of techniques used in a variety of media and to be able to use and experiment with those techniques.

    To understand the language used in the study of media.
