Year 10

Students will be introduced to the codes and conventions used in the different media products. They will become familiar with the key concepts and media language in preparation for the representation non-examined component.

They will create different forms of media such as TV programmes, trailers, adverts, film posters, magazines and album covers.

The focus during this year will be to ensure that students feel confident with terminology, concepts and products and have the ability to apply their knowledge in a range of situations.

Year 11

Students will cover the following topics in preparation for their examination: advertising, music, film, audience theory, gender represenations and media convergence.

These different areas of study will help students to understand how media products work in relation to each other to develop the students' ability to analyse the impact of media products on society.
