L2 Media Studies

L2MDS
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs S. Curtis.

In this course students will develop their keen interest in the media, from films to podcasts, print journalism to music video. We examine how media is used to reflect and affect the social, political, historical and economic climate of the time in which they were made. Within this course we will look at the manipulation of the press, how narrative techniques drive directorial decision making in films and how we can effectively craft a persuasive article. A large portion of this course is dedicated to practical film making where students are challenged to plan, design and produce a short film which requires a significant time commitment in Term 2.
